In the spirit of DCY's thread, I'm raising the opposite question.
I don't know what it is about me but I have a cougar problem. Older women just flock towards me for some reason. So what I can I do to get the older ladies to stay away from me (besides acting like DCY)?
Quit bathing and brushing your teeth, for a start.
And add a huge spash of Brut aftershave.
Stop helping them cross the street...........
Tell them that anti -aging cream isn't really working.....
Since I went through a major cougar phase, let me help a little. Most cougars will not pursue a younger man who shows no interest. If a cougar smiles at you, smile back to be polite and then immediately look away. Do not continue eye contact. If you get hit on by a woman who wants to buy you a drink, thank her politely and say no.
Cougar really isn't a good name for older women who date younger men. Cougar implies she's out prowling or actively looking. Now I'm sure there are some women out there like that, but it has been my experience that we open ourselves up to younger men's attention and see where it goes. I never prowled. I didn't have to. I didn't want to. I made myself available if a younger man was interested.
I was in a store with my husband shortly after we had gotten married. I started getting "talked too" by another man and I was polite and told him I was married. My husband was standing there and I was embarrassed and hoped he didn't get mad. As the other man was leaving I turned to my husband and apologized and he said: "Why would I mind! I'm happy to be married to woman who is attractive, I take it as a compliment."
Summery: Adapt the attitude that you become happy that you are attractive enough physically and emotionally that the opposite sex wants you (Disclaimer: this older woman is not coming on to you! LOL!) and firmly but nicely just tell them your not available. Leave it at that, it doesn't mean you are taken by another woman but that you aren't available to them and they don't need to know any further information.
Good Luck
I don't know what is wrong with these women that are going after the young men. It would never occur to me to look at someone that young to date /go out with and for sure not to got to bed with.
My understanding that a cougar is someone that just wants sex for a young guy. want amazes me is that they think these guys would want them. My son told me it's become a game with some of the guys, and the women would be embarrassed if they knew how they were being used but heck they are using the guys too. After all these woman usually have more money and compensate really well with gifts.
Just tell them your not interested, walk away, the same way you would tell a young woman your not interested.
I never went after younger men. They came flocking to me. They were funny, sweet and great in bed.
Get off your high horse.

Ok then, let me clear up the misunderstanding. Your post was judgmental and bigoted. You came off very self-righteous. To be told to get off a high horse, means you should quit being judgmental and self-righteous.
Do you understand now?

I'm sure many a young man has wished that I were a cougar, but the very few that I've dated or gotten intimate with have pursued me, it's not me hunting them down. I've told them that I'm too old for them, etc, etc, and against my better judgment dated them. Given the two experiences, it's unlikely that I'll do it again.
Generally we call the old guys going after young women old enough to
know better and young enough to still try! There are two types, the
old sweeties that are really just being friendly, those are great, I
love dancing with them if they're good (not dirty dancing - pull your
mind out of the gutter), I am perfectly happy to flirt in a good
natured way as long as it's kept to just being nice and sociable. Then
there's the other type. 
These guys just don't take the deflection as thanks but no thanks.
They're sure if they just persist that eventually they'll get a
yes...no thanks buddy, don't make me get mean cause I will.
Same goes for giving a woman the idea that you're not interested. Be gentle, but pass. Just say gently that you're not interested, if they persist then you can be very clear or downright mean if that's what it takes to get the point across.

OK, then! Hmm, I recently had a very nice time with a 24 year old professional rodeo roper (whoa nellie-I'm 39) and it was not for his brain! It lasted until, get this, his evangelical, travelling preacher parents came home and found us!
I know. It was a great house, though. He told me it was his.

Lost it quicker than any fad diet, but could probably draw you a map from memory to 'The House' south of Fort Worth. God be with you, My Child

There she is. Mah hero.
So you can log your weight -- which allows you to do the following:
