Full Press Release

First Ever International Cougar Cruise

Cougars (women who are attracted to younger men) and their Cubs (men who are attracted to older women) are invited to the world’s first-ever International Cougar Cruise, December 4-7, 2009, aboard Carnival’s Fun Ship Elation, departing from San Diego CA and visiting Ensenada, Mexico. Priced from $125 (per person, double-occupancy) plus port charges and government fees. Anyone who wants to avoid the single supplement will be matched with a roommate.

“2009 is The Year of the Cougar, according to Newsweek’s cover story,” says Ann Thomas, Executive Director of The Singles Travel Company, www.singlestravelcompany.com. “We were surprised to discover that there has never been an International Cougar Cruise. Obviously this cruise is long overdue!” Ann Thomas is available to the news media to discuss the Cougar Cruise by calling 1-888-286-8687.

The Guest of Honor on the Cougar Cruise will be Miss Cougar America, who will be selected at the National Single Cougars Convention, Friday, August 28, 2009, at Dinah’s Garden Hotel, 4261 El Camino Real, Palo Alto CA. Cubs (younger men) in attendance will decide who wins the contest.

The Cougar Cruise and Convention are based on Valerie Gibson’s Cougar: A Guide for Older Women Dating Younger Men. According to Ms. Gibson, “a cougar is the new breed of single, older woman­ - confident, sophisticated, desirable, and sexy. She knows exactly what she wants. What she doesn’t want is children, cohabitation, or commitment.”

“Age discrimination is perhaps the most pervasive prejudice in American Society,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals. “Older women, in particular, are victimized by our youth-oriented society. They are regarded as ‘non-sexy’. Supposedly every American male is only attracted to nubile 20 year olds found in the centerfolds of men’s magazines. The truth is that there are millions of American men who find older women attractive, and we will prove it on the Cougar Cruise!”

Rich Gosse is America’s foremost authority on finding a romantic partner. He is the author of eight books on this topic, including You CAN Hurry Love, Singles Guide to America, and A Good Man Is EASY to Find (“This is a great book!” Oprah Winfrey). His entertaining advice has been featured by ABC, BBC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, Fox News Live, MSNBC, Oprah, Donahue, Cosmopolitan, Newsweek, Entrepreneur, Business Week, Playboy, Playgirl, The Wall Street Journal, London Times, The Australian, The New Zealand Herald, etc. Mr. Gosse is available to the news media for interviews by calling 415/479-3800. His website is www.RichGosse.com.

The Cougar Cruise is co-sponsored by The Singles Travel Company , America’s premier travel club for singles; The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization at www.ThePartyHotline.com; www.UrbanCougar.com; and many others.
