Um, the male cougars that I know are all called "successes" -- not perverts, actually.

Down in the South Bay last weekend, I realized I was wrong when I thought that Los Gatos was named for Mountain Lions. In fact I think Las Hoochies was later renamed to Saratoga.

"Cougar" is more flattering than what we call old men who date younger women "creepy old perverts," so it's not too insulting. OK, it's a little insulting.

>>these two appear to be about the same age These days, I think men dating women of roughly the same age is so out of vogue that it's practically considered dating someone older. Just ask Brittanie Mountz!

Grant and Green is a specific bar at, you guessed it, the corner of Grant and Green.

#1 You might be close to being correct, but the new site has an SF-only focus and it's up to date. UC appears to have not too much going on these days.

Only "sightings"? I would say those five places listed have Cougars' names permanently engraved into the plush booths and trendy barstools.
