Do you have the right stuff? Are you a mini-baller with lots of time of your hands?

The new cougar dating reality show could be the ticket for wanker bankers that need some pocket change:

SINGLE Manhattan women over 40 - start your engines! IiN TV Productions is developing a reality series called “Cougars: NYC,” about five older hotties “living the glamorous life in NYC . . . with men 10-plus years their junior.” Producers have picked three gals so far: R&B singer Mel’isa Morgan, WOR Radio ad exec Dawn Ellison and Shahla Husein, v.p. of a medical sales company - all of whom only date guys in their 20s. A casting call for two more women will be held at a singles mixer at Libations on Ludlow Street Aug. 20.

Executive producer Elizabeth Mwanga disputes the negative connotations of the word cougar. “Basically, it’s meant to symbolize empowerment. This isn’t just horny older women chasing younger guys,” she told Page Six. “It’s women who are beautiful, successful and hot, who can get these younger guys because they are hot.” New York Post

There are open auditions in two weeks. Are you game? Banker Bernando Hernando III (WTF?-nice name ebtter than Slade Smiley) answered the call years ago:

Bernardo Hernando III (Bernie), a 28-year-old from the suburbs of Metro New York working in financial services, exemplifies the attributes of a quintessential Cub. His good looks, charisma, and ultra-bright smile are balanced by a down-to-earth personality, open mind, and sense of humility. He was groomed by Cougars for eight years to develop into a man of confidence and direction.

He began to walk the life of a Cub at age of eighteen. Bernie’s decision to date Cougars came from his desire to enhance and develop his understanding of women, especially the mind and body of a woman who reaches her 30s and beyond. He’s dated Cougars from all walks and stages of life: from women with successful careers in high-powered positions to women surviving day-to-day on alimony.

Cougars have found his open heart, honesty, and full disclosure especially compelling. Conversations full of substance, intense listening, an ability to stay grounded, dressing well, and meshing with any social environment have made him especially desirable to older women.

Bernie is a major advocate of the Cougar/Cub phenomenon and is a reliable source of information, advice, and experience of this lifestyle. He is passionately committed to helping others see the Cougar/Cub lifestyle as an evolving choice. He co-authored Cougar and the Cub with Dawn Ellison, formerly one of his Cougars, and conducts Cougar/Cub dating advice workshops and events with her.

I am not sure how well it pays, but the perks might work out just fine.

Audition is August 20th at Libation in NYC...please no Cubs over 35 and Cougars must be 40+
