Well I wouldn't recommend robbing the cradle and get jail time...

I personally have dated 20 years younger and 25 older.It depends on the person, their lifestyle, compatibility, and down right sex appeal.

Actually I feel it is only for the two involved to find what is acceptable to them. Does not matter what others think not their lives...whoa

i like older men, but sort of max 45. one experienced i had with a man of 50, was he was very old fashioned and he acted like my nan and granddad. im not saying all guys aged 50 are like this, but he was.

My first husband was 24 years older than me. Age factor never ever came up we had a wonderful marriage til the day he died... Now I haven't dated anything older than 10 since then.

I do believe age is subjective since it is about the person as long as it is legal then if it rocks your world then go for it...

I think a 7 yrs difference for anyone is weird. But many people have greater than 7. I would be very curious as to the stats on, how long they last.?

Myself I always dated (& my ex husband) within a 2 yr range. Anymore or less, I'm not comfortable with.

i think i need someone a lot older than me because i have seriously old fashioned views that kind of clash with a lot of people my age. you don't get many 30somethings with old fashioned ways lol

Both my sisters married men 10-12 years older. One had been married 25 yrs. The other 10 & is a widow. I think they think like you :wink:
But I couldn't. And I was never attracted to other men.

You all know our age gap...hehe..it might be a mingle record.....gulp.....maybe not...*shrug*......hahaha....happy
but seriously, we meet in the middle I have always been very young thinking and acting...definitely not grandad material....
and Mekay is best described as an old soul....that middle ground would be around...38 to 40...I guess...

Whatever legal age differences two (or however many) fully self-aware people are okay with, are acceptable to me.

I suspect I personally could enjoy someone fully matured, any age from about 25 on. I've never met anyone who I can seriously imagine as MATE material that young, theoretically someone might learn enough about themselves and life to be on a par with me by that age.

The thing is, maturity is NOT directly linked to age in any way. Some people older than I am, are still emotionally and functionally like five year olds. Selfish, resentful, and still set on the idea that the world owes them a fulfilled fantasy. Some people younger than I am, are farther along than I am, and find ME to be too....something.


That someone decides to ask this question with the form "Is it acceptable," begs the question... who is the authority that we are trying to please?
