The life coach, who runs her own business HellaCougar, doesn’t care what people think and has learned the best locations to find toy boys.

She said: “One of things I do like about dating apps is it takes the guessing away from younger men if an older woman is into someone their age.

"And it takes the guessing away from older women if a younger man is into someone their age. 

“If you matched, you set the age range. This is perhaps the biggest obstacle for these age gap meetings in real life.

"People don't know if the other would be receptive to the age gap.”

“Other than the apps, I love to go to clubs with my ‘Cougar’ hat on, and this starts many conversations. 

“Similarly, I sell an entire line of merchandise for guys to wear to help conversations start. 

“Casinos and resorts are good spots as well as concerts and wine bars.”

Patsy added: “I know one cub that has met tons of women in the grocery store. 

“I think the lesser known go to is country line dancing lessons or similar in your region or country. It's an easy one.”

I was desperate to find love so went on the same dating show as my son - it didn't work so now I'm chasing dads and their sons

She previously told how the fact she doesn’t want to start a family led to people calling her selfish for focusing on herself.

Patsy said: “Society has done an amazing job at convincing women that they need to have a husband and kids in order to have a fulfilled life, that they are not complete without these things. 

“When in fact, motherhood and wifehood are very very very hard work, and women still do not get the emotional and physical support they need from their partners. 

“In many cases, they get one more body they have to keep up with and care for. I have met countless women over the years who are so lonely and isolated in their relationships with their husbands and so many feel that they 'have to do it all.' 

“Motherhood and wifehood can be rewarding with the right partner, but so many studies now show that the happiest individuals on Planet Earth ... are single women. 

“I am proof positive that that path can be exceedingly rewarding. Sometimes I call it radical selfishness.”
