It would be unique and fun at first I think but, then it's kind of an Oedipus complex going on. If an 18 year old takes a 61 year old home to Mother it's going to mess up a lot of family barbeques.


Brigit Bardot in mid 50's



Brigit Bardot these days



she is in her late seventies and I am not sure if she is still alive.

although 18 in to 60 doesn't go but certainly 18 or 20 into 40 is a norm and as diet and medicine advances the gap gets bigger

Sorry to disagree with you.

For the last year I was dating a lady that was 13 yr younger than I and we had a lot in common...Video games, movies, political views, cooking, etc......


The break up had nothing to do with age it came down to one of us is crazy....I'm not sure which one of us is but that's another topic.......


From what I can tell its all in the two people that are together. Some will make it some wont and age is just a number...

I am from fraternity of mathematicians from Oxford in the UK
The issue was of numbers and of age and hence as is the norm in classical Latin in matters of numeric to apply QED and as such Q.E.D was applied

24-not dead yet. Even though I've had better luck with older women then I have with any my age, probably spawned my refusal to date anyone younger than me...of course that probably all led up to my refusal to date period.smokin

refusal to date period, fear you are too young to not date ever again. i think u just have not come across the right person.
i also think you will find someone who has enough mystery to keep you interested and coming back for more.... hopefully you wont be 60 when you find her...

I refuse to date in this area, could change when I move...but I doubt it because I will only be moving again in probably a year. Once I can find somewhere that I will settle down in, maybe then I will find a date that can hold my interest. But the Mid-West is a scary place for dating...in my opinion anyway.smokin

Depends on the folks involved.
At age 49-50 (me) I have dated as young as 34, I thought she was older, and she thought I was much younger. LOL
And dated as contemporary as 47.
Currently dating a lady that is 40, and its just fine for both of us.

i never put that much weight on age difference and have dated guys 10 years my junior and about 15 my senior.

if i think about my own daughters, however, and if 30-year-old guys were wanting to date them when they were 18, i'd think that they were either socially inept, or pedophiles.

I'll date someone 5 years younger and up to 10 years older. But that's my limit. Any younger and I don't feel we have enough in common, any older and the same thing applies.
As with anything, there are exceptions to the rules but those are few and far between.

After the age of consent, or eighteen for some anyway, do you believe that people should not outside of their age range? And if so, what is that range in your opinion?


It's just a number. Should I not date someone because they have the wrong shoe size?

People like to use the argument "But if the age difference is too great, then the 'life experience' won't match up." As if two 48-year-olds are going to have had the exact same life experiences.

Because, around age 22, I decided I wasn't interested in dating anybody with kids, I primarily focused on younger people, because there's a certain point (and I've never been able to figure out what that is, exactly) where pretty much everybody has kids after a certain age.

But even that's not really reliable. I've seen plenty of profiles saying "I'm 19 and a single mother of three." So there's no clear-cut formula.


Most importantly, why do you believe the way you do?


I guess mainly because of my own experiences.

I really don't think personal preferences should be up for external criticism anyway. You like what you like. It's nobody else's business.


I think that when you are dealing with two people who are mature, there is no exact range, though of course some people don't want to date anyone too old or too young.


Yeah, and they have every right to make that decision for themselves -- and no right whatsoever to try to impose it on anybody else.

I'm 55--i keep my dating ages between 47 and 62--but the person needs to be able to like loud music and kids round--i'm still pretty active and told i'm a young 55------but like many women, would feel really strange dating someone that could be my son
