1. The go-getter
   
   This young man is high on confidence and needs to be a winner in everything he does. So it is quite likely he will take the initiative in your relationship and gladly too. Most likely he will be good-looking, charismatic and already on his way to a successful career. This is a guy who is ambitious and intent on making it big in the world. The biggest advantage of dating the alpha cub is that he makes great arm candy. With this sexy looks and self-assurance, he will not only help you make a definitive social statement, but will court you with flair and style, lavishing gifts from Burberry and Prada as well as securing a table in the swankiest restaurant at a mere half an hour’s notice. However if dating him, you need to stock up high on confidence or you can end up as a nervous wreck when confronted with his swagger. Also he is most likely to be quite egoistic and if you don’t like kow-towing to one and all, there may be a clash of wills. Finally with an ambitious nature, both personally and professionally, he may be involved with several things and people at the same time and you might find yourself acting as a filler in his over-scheduled life.

2. The artist
   
   Young, vulnerable and smoldering with an artistic intensity, this is the perfect cub if you live and breathe culture. He is likely to be an artist, musician, dancer or film maker – the air of tortured creativity and a sense of being misunderstood and underappreciated by the world is likely to be extremely sexy if you like to show your love in a maternal kind of way. Then there is the possibility of a flamboyant style and a slightly, disheveled demeanor, all of which can be highly attractive in their own ways. The great part about dating such a cub is that he will hold you up as the muse of his creativity and after all who can resist being the object of some great poetry, a remarkable painting or a romantic song. Being thought of as an inspiration to works of art is highly flattering and could be just what the doctor ordered if you have been licking your wounds after a messy breakup. At the same time he is likely to be brimming with creative ideas and cultural know-how and thus would make a perfect dinner guest should you wish to impress your friends. On the downside, the artist cub is likely to be broke most of the times so you can kiss any hope of an expensive gift or a lavish dinner on your birthday goodbye. In fact he may even get comfortable seeing you as his wealthy patroness and sponsor of his wild ideas and artistic enterprises. Also avoid confusing his intensity with commitment – he may well fall madly in love with you, just until the another cougar emerges as the next source of his inspiration.

3. The admirer
   
   This cub is a dream come true for cougars who like to be in control of their relationships. He is likely to be sensitive, yielding and will not mind putting your needs before his own. He will not only make you feel cherished and special but will often go out of his way to bond with you – even in the way that most men dread, by talking about feelings and thoughts. He is also likely to be in touch with his feminine side and wouldn’t mind rustling up dinner while you are putting in extra hours at the office or even take out your dog for a walk. Deeply romantic, he is also likely to put in greater emotional investment in your relationship as compared to any other kind of cub. This is a guy who places great store by commitment and once with you, he is unlikely to look at any other woman. However no one can be perfect and even this kind of ardent admirer is likely to come up with a few complexities. He will need a great deal of emotional support and while you may be looking forward to kind and caring tendencies from a man, you may end up being rudely surprised by excessive touchiness and deep-seated insecurities. Above all, if you are looking to have fun and games in your cougar dates, this cub is more likely to act as a pining, lovesick puppy on your doorstep.
    
4. The geek
   
   If you are intent on hooking up with a techie cub, sign up with a dating website or hang out at the library in the computers section. A cougar may be initially drawn to him after finding that he is fantastic with fixing the anti-virus in her laptop and also programming her dishwasher so that she needn’t change settings ever. Eventually though she will also come to appreciate the fact that he is a low-maintenance guy who is sufficiently wrapped up in himself so as not to expect her to massage his ego all the time. This can come as a breath of relief especially for women who have suffered male partners going through mid-life crisis and unable to look beyond their own needs and comforts. The only disadvantage of dating a geek is that he may be sometimes shy and often socially inept, especially around your other cougar friends. But unlike dating the artist cub, you may not have to keep picking up this guy’s tabs since he may well be on his way to becoming the dotcom millionaire.
    
5. The player
   
   This is a kind of cub who knows his way around women, especially older ones; he is acutely aware of what his older partners’ insecurities, resources and priorities are and thus can both give them what they are looking for as well as use them to his own advantage. The player is a charmer par excellence – he can dazzle you with his sex appeal and impress you with his knowledge of the wine list in the same breath. Sophisticated, suave and an expert in lovemaking, this is the kind of cub who is perfectly capable of taking you to the gates of heaven. However persist with him only when you are perfectly sure of protecting your emotional and financial resources. He is out to get what he wants and once he has had his gratification, he may treat you – as any other woman – with a total regard for her feelings.
