Age of Love Premieres on June 18

Age of Love Premieres on June 18 - Meet the Cast

by Lynn on June 10th, 2007

It’s often said that love is blind… but is that really true? If given the chance to choose a woman in her 20s, or a 40-something on the prowl, will a man go for youth or maturity? More than just a dating competition, “Age of Love” is a social experiment based on the question: When it comes to falling in love, does age really matter?

Tune in when seven beautiful, sophisticated women in their 40’s, playfully nicknamed the “Cougars,” vie for the affections of 30-year-old Australian tennis superstar Mark Philippoussis, along with six fun, enthusiastic women in their 20’s, coined the “Kittens.”

But only one woman can win Mark’s heart. Is she an attractive, experienced woman who knows what she wants and has already carved out a niche of her own? Or, is she a sexy younger woman who lacks the experience of her older counterpart, but has an enthusiasm for life that only comes with the inexperience of youth? In the end, both Mark and the viewers will discover if love is truly ageless.

Here’s your introduction to the Bachelor, the Kittens and the Cougars:

Mark

30-year-old Australian tennis superstar Mark Philippoussis will attempt to find true love among women ranging in age from 21-48 in this unique series based on the current phenomenon of younger men dating older women. Philippoussis will date 13 women from two very different groups — the “Kittens,” six fun, enthusiastic women in their 20’s, and the “Cougars,” seven beautiful, sophisticated women in their 40’s.
