UK's top cougar is giving up on toyboys for good

A woman once dubbed the UK's 'top cougar' has claimed she is giving up toyboys for good - in a bid to attract a mature man.

Businesswoman Juney Smith, 53 from St Albans, says she has stopped dating younger men after being put off by bearded hipsters with tattoos.

Juney hit headlines last year when she revealed she had dated more than 250 younger men since turning 30, insisting that they kept her young. 

But the singleton says she has turned over a new leaf and, appearing on This Morning today, Juney said: 'Hipsters have helped me a lot. 

Turning a corner: Former cougar Juney Smith says she is turning her back on younger men for good after she was put off dating toyboys by hipsters

'I’m not a big fan of the beards and they’re covered in tattoos, like wallpaper. I’ll read a book in bed, I don’t want to have to look at wallpaper.'

Juney added: 'I’m not some desperate woman looking for young guys… if he’s nice and charming and I find him attractive then I’ll go out on a date.' 

She also defended her dating history, telling Rylan Clark-Neal and Alison Hammond: 'Sometimes you go on a date with an older guy and you look at the clock because it’s so boring. What’s wrong with having a lovely time?

'I’m not some desperate woman looking for young guys… if he’s nice and charming and I find him attractive then I’ll go out on a date.' 

In a cheeky reference to her many conquests, she added: 'We're not talking wizard's sleeve here, if you know what I mean.'

However she insisted her new dating tactic was 'not a U-turn'.

Juney, who has never married or had children, previously said of her love life: ‘I have always dated younger but really focused on it from the age of 30, and among the guys I've gone out with were lads aged 18 to 20. I haven't looked back since.' 

She insisted that while she enjoys dating in 'all its forms' she refuses to be unfavourably labelled - and was quick to clarify that she hadn't slept with all 250 of her conquests.

Juney added: 'I am definitely not a s*** which is what people automatically assume comes with the word cougar. I am "sex positive".

Juney, pictured with one of her dates, previously said that men her age either can't offer what young men can - or simply have no idea how to 'date properly'

The businesswoman previously said: 'The guys I date range in age from 18 to 45 - I meet them at clubs, out grocery shopping, at art galleries, at service stations'

'That means I feel sexy, like to look good and enjoy sex with the right man and am not afraid to talk about it.

‘I enjoy sex but before that I have to date. I consider my approach to men very American. Manhattan dating or accepting invitations for dinner and outings with up to three to four men separately of course over a week is how it works.'

'You don't just date one guy until you decide to become exclusive.’ 

Speaking of her former preference for younger men, Juney said: 'I tried dating men my own age but they are boring, bad in bed and frankly not eager to please'

Speaking last year, Juney was quick to clarify that she hasn't slept with all 250 of her conquests - some of them have just been dates which haven't gone any further

Juney previously said that dating men who are younger than her was both an obsession and addition, because it kept her feeling young

Juney, who once told how men often mistake her for 30 to 35 years old, added: ‘Most of the men I date admire my sense of fun, style and the fact I am not after marriage and kids.

'When you're a cougar you need to date younger guys who know the rules from the start. The main one is the relationship won't be long-term but we will enjoy each other's company and a lot of the time doesn't involve sex. 

'I am also into 20-something music, and television shows like TOWIE and am young at heart. However even if you are an intellectual older women then there is always a younger man for you.’

Juney has previously insisted: 'I am definitely not a s*** which is what people automatically assume comes with the word cougar'

'I am fun loving woman and if that means I am Cougar Queen then it makes me proud because I can hopefully share my expertise with men and women.’ 

Juney, who keeps her trim size 12 figure by eating healthy and working out three to four times a week, previously said she was sick of women being labelled ‘cradle snatchers’ for dating younger men while men who date younger women are hailed as heroes.

‘For me age is just a number,' she said. 'I would be bored senseless with a man my age. 

'I haven't ruled out dating men my age or older but the problem is they don't know how to party, to date and often come with so much baggage it means the ir moves in and outside the bedroom are way behind the times.’

Juney previously suggested that older men should take lessons in dating. ‘There is a definite hole in the market,' she said. 'There should be a course for older men on how to date, what to talk about and what women expect.’ 

She added: 'Women like Demi Moore have made it cool to date and marry younger guys and ironically teen women seen with older blokes are labelled gold diggers were as an older woman with a younger bloke is given the thumbs up. 

'Anyone who thinks it's taboo to date young and be "sex positive" needs their head read. These young men know what they're getting into and do it because they want to and because girls their own age are not providing what they want.’
