how old is too old, mr cradle robber? lol

This is personally a bit difficult for me to answer. My parents were 22 years apart in age, and they were happily married for over 40 years.
My Mom was like 18 when they got married and my father was a divorcee with 4 kids.
In my personal opinion, I've always thought it isn't a good idea to have too many years between a couple. But it has been known to be successful in some instances.

wow it's funny that I should come across this thread because I jus read an article on Linda Hogan dating a 19yr, her kids friend from school. And everybody is making a big deal out of it, but no one cared when it was because of Terry Hogan that she divorced him in the first place for having sex with Brooke's friend, who was 19 @ the time!!

But it doesn't too much bother me, as long as they're at least 18 & over. Mainly it depends on the mentality.
Seeing as how I'm 21, the oldest I would go would prolly be maybe 40 something???!!

If they are young (like under 20), then there shouldn't be that much of an age difference, in my opinion. Maturity levels are just too diverse with young people. If they are adults, then it doesn't really matter, because they all (usually) have the same maturity level.

here in canada, a 20yr old can go out with a 14yr old if the younger person is willing. legislation has been trying to move it to 16 lately, but nothing new has come up yet. anything younger then 14...lolipedo!!!

whats the legal age in your country?

Last time I checked, the age of consent was 16... Meaning that a 20 year old can't go out with someone younger than 16.

In my opinion.
Anyone younger then 18 shouldn't be fucking much less dating someone who is 20 or older.
You have your whole life to get laid... try to stay young as long as you can.


I love older guys but ten years older/younger then the one your with is my maximum.
Huge age differences can create a real issue for serious couples.
My friend is 23 and dating a 37 year old.
While she wants to go out and explore and have fun he wants to settle down.
It's just bleh, neither wins.

And no whether the older/younger one is a girl or guy doesn't make a difference.
Neither does it if they are homosexuals or lesbians.

That is usually true, but it had me laughing, Eve.

The last time I dated someone seriously younger than me, it was exactly the opposite. He was a little more than 15 years younger than me and by the time we parted I was accusing him of turning into a really old man before his time.

It's not the age that matters ^^ Although it's closely connected to it.
And as xYinniex said...the looks..take vampires for example XD You don't really think "ewww, he's 300 years old" do you?

For me I guess I set the ceiling based on my parents age. I couldn't imagine dating someone my mom's age. However, my fiance is 14 years older than me and only 4 years younger than my mom. The age differences was a stumbling block initially, though when we first met we both thought the other was 30. That was probably the only time when I was in Japan that I thought it was okay to be mistaken as older than I was. The biggest issue with our age difference wasn't our interests and life experience, for us there aren't any, but the reality of what happens as we get older. In ten years I will be 35 and she will be pushing 50, hopefully with an 8 or 9 year old kid. When that kid goes on to University my wife would be 58-60 and I will be around 45. Our bodies will physically be at very different points. This actually caused us to break up a couple times before we decided that the physical wasn't important. Right now we are at the same point in our lives as far as desire, aspirations, and with similar experiences and we will continue to be if we stay together(as much as a married couple can).

As far as someone younger... I've found that anyone younger than 22 is just too young. Most girls, and guys for that matter, under 22 don't really have a cohesive idea of what they want to do with their future. I met a couple 19 and 20 year old girls that were great people and fun to be around. But for me there couldn't have been any future with them because they weren't ready to start a future.

back on topic...sex is (feels) different at the age of 14, at the age of 15, 16, 17, 18...

I think the border is around 14....maybe 14ers know what is that between their legs and where to put it....
