Good site for chatting to cougars but I expected better. Still prefer justcougar.com personally. Good luck.

When I brought up safety concerns about their lack of security screening and male conduct on their site, they replied with "our services are not available in your country" and suspended my account. I live in Australia and was one of the apparently few legitimate women on there. They try to force women to act out of blind faith and meet men straight off the site without being allowed to check who they are via facebook etc. Absolutely vile behavior- the site should be forcibly shut down its unsafe.

No ability to filter your matches, what they call matches is enough to not want to date ever again.
Technically an ill devised website,
Talk about false and deceptive advertising

Tip for consumers:
Don’t even try it, not even on a trial basis

I signed up and then my accout was deleted with no explanation, I am guessing it's because I said I don't like curry which in fact is the $#*!ING TRUTH! They can go ahead and delete it cause I'd never date anyone who smells like that $#*!. What a LAME website where u cant even be honest cause it might offend someone F that $#*!!

The base 1 month subscription, is $40 + a one time $5 processing fee. Fine, expensive but if it serves it's purpose then cool.

2 days later i get an email saying my $30 priority listing purchase has been approved. What? Excuse me? I didn't agree to pay any more than $45 on.the site. I sure as hell won't spend $75 on a website when i'm already expecting to get nothing out of it.

It may be good in bigger cities but be extremely wary of this site.

Not only are there escorts making profiles and wanting you to pay for their services once they lure you in, wasting your credits, but not being given a confirmation to pay an extra large sum of money is criminal in my opinion.

I have never NOT been given a confirmation before when paying for something.

Predatorial practicies, overpriced subscription, and bait or scam profiles. Stick to tinder or something and just change the age range.

$45 for the ability to send 20 messages (each message costs 5 credits and 1 month gives you 100)

Saw commercial, gave it a try. Can't believe the majority of active profiles in Canada's largest city are "video chat" girls from USA/Europe with extensive contact info in profile.

Cancelled recurring subscription, same day. CL's Terms of service employ "Cougar C's", virtual profiles. All female profiles with "... has not filled in 'About Me' or 'Looking For' yet. Send a message to find out more about them." are all FAKE profiles.

Not worth time or money.

Once I paid for my membership, they suspended my access and took all my money from the card. Their technical support does not answer me. I advise anyone not to join this site. It hurt me a lot and I will sue them.

Tip for consumers:
Do not use it. It is a scam. They will take your money and suspend you. Most of the accounts who send you messages are fake. They do this to encourage you pay in order to see the messages. but once you pay, they take the money and suspend you.

I decided to do a profile. I got some activity from a bunch of fake models and a few others. So I decided to subscribe and get a membership then all the inquires just stop. On the weekend it's little to no women online and there the same chics. The yearly membership is average cost wise but you have to pay extra to send messages. It's a horrible site 90% of the time I guarantee it's a total WASTE!

... You should definitely avoid the website. The pornstar in the commercial is Julia Anne (woman in the red dress). I have also seen a couple of reviews on here that say positive things about the site, yet they are the EXACT same reviews - word for word - that were left on other complaint sites. It seems people who run the site are attempting to make themselves look good and legitimize their pathetic attempts of scamming and using horrible bots.

A waste of money. No real people on it. Almost immediately after you sign up with a non-paid profile, you will get lots of attention. This sucks you into thinking that there are real people on it, and further sucks you into buying a paid membership. Then once you have paid, no one responds to anything. It is such a waste. Go to AFF where there are lots of real people (even if many are just cyber...), or POF or Craigslist... but NOT Cougarlife.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T USE IT!

Like others have said, all kinds of messages and flirts until you put up your $45 dollars and message them back. Then you never hear from them again. Fake profiles. Fake everything. I think for $45 bucks if I want to message everyone on this site, I should be able too. Nope. Use your 100 credits and then even though your still a "premium" member, you can't message anyone else unless you buy more credits. I didn't listen to the reviews. Wish I had. Learn from my mistake. Save your money.

I originally didnt buy the premium account, so id just look at the matches, send flirts and whatnot. Now that i bought the premium account, its nothing but obviously fake women wanting to steal your credit card, or hot women who are real but wont respond to anything you say. $125 dollars wasted.

Lets face it guys... Women aren't like men. With all the crazy pervs out there... with the fact that any decent woman can walk into any bar/pub etc. and walk away with a hook up... with the fact that if a woman starts dropping hints in malls, grocery stores etc. she will easily get FWBs. The chances of women paying money and risking men shopping on the site is EXTREMELY RARE!

I still gave it a try... and I am a above average good looking "cub" with an athletic body and all... good pictures etc. The site is full of dead FAKE profiles + SCAMSTERS (Pakistanis doing what they do best. Scamming).

Save your money... go to a 80s music pub, piano bars, wine bars etc. and pick up lovely real Cougars.

Back again this time it's about cougarlife.com it's new scam they're sucking everybody into a fraudulent purchase by claiming that if you want to get together with me outside the site you have to go on another site you have to put your credit card down verification that in case anything happens to the woman the authorities will be notified. Really? What happened to the old days you can just meat somewhere around a bunch of people now I have to give you my mycredit card info just to meet you

Do not pay for this site it is a scam you pay $50 for the initial subscription. They make fake profiles and send you of messages when u reply to these messages (from fake profiles) you use "credits" which you only have a limited amount of. Well when those "credits" are all used up you can't message anyone untill you purchase more credits. Every womens profile says the same bio! Everyone who payed like me dispute the charge with apple and let people know its a scam! Its robbery without a gun

Auto-renewal is a joke. And your ability to cancel is almost non existent. Their site is also full of trolls and scams ready to take your money for a "private" cam session.

Am rating as a cougar with free access. The men on here are beyond pathetic -- room temperature IQ at best. They sign up with more than one screen name and think that the women are as dumb as they are. It's not uncommon for them to morph into abusive tendencies very quickly. IRL? I love cubs. This site turned my stomach

Signed up in a weak moment. Bots message you and then you pay to message back. 1000s of fake profiles to choose from and guess what... the same people that gave us ashley madison run this cheap trick, so you can expect all your profile information to be leaked. Join if you hate your money.

I got some messages so obviously I figured I'll upgrade and give it a shot, it said the total was only 39.00 including 5.00 access fee. So guess what happens when I click purchase after entering my card? "Thank you your card will be charged 71.00" are you kidding me. And they have a no refund policy stating that they let you try it for free first so you should have been sure before you purchased. Obviously I was sure because I let them charge my card, but they straight up LIED about the price. No one answers you anyway. Just like every other scam of a website.
