If anything its more acceptable if the woman is older. Couger is a damn site better than Dirty Old Pervert.

I'm nearly 10 years older than my bloke. Works for us.

I'd personally find it weird being older than a guy I was tipping.

I also hate it when my ex starts tipping someone younger than me, I'd be raging. If she was older I wouldn't care

I'd see it the other way around. What do you think OP?

Tipping ? Is that code for hiring a gigolo ?

Too young for what? It depends on the guy she's with. Plus there's nothing wrong with a cougar. They know all the tricks.

[-0-]

I'm 30, my wife is 23. This is perfectly acceptable. My friend is 30, his girlfriend is 17. I'm not so sure about that.

If a lady wants a bit of young bell then she should go for it.

Different with everyone really. Younger/older doesn't bother me at all when I like someone

Strawberry are you in your thirties or forties , . . .
30 guy 40 woman is fine
How about 25 guy 35 woman
Or 20 guy 30 woman. . .
At different ages the gap probably is more obvious . . .

cade

Wasn't this topic just covered again recently.

Anyhow, half your age, plus seven, is the usual accepted ratio. That only really applies until the age of thirty five though, then anyone over twenty five is fair game.

I've no problem dating women on either side of my age, though on reflection I've only dated older women so far.

thecatspjs

Half your age plus 7. Always

All fine imo. Its when one is under 20 or the difference is over 10 that it may be seen a bit different. I'd say if both parties are over 30 it shouldnt matter though unless you're getting into old age where the problems will resurface. The problems being whether or not one is seen to be taking advantage of the other.

When we started going out, I was 32 and he was 23. Been together over 8 years now.

If you live your life worrying about what people see as acceptable then you will lead a boring life. Just do what feels right as long as it is legal!

Thats almost the same as myself and my fiance. I was 23 and she was 30 when we first met. Age is just a number

roddney

Don't think its as much about the age diff as it is about the life stage.

In school date someone in school, college college, work work, parent parent etc.

I did date up to 3 years older and 5 years younger. 5 yrs younger was a disaster as she was in college and really just wanted to live it up as you do in college. I was working and at this stage so a bit past this.

KateMonster

Really interesting replies from everyone, thanks!

Biggest gap I've personally seen is he was 23 and she was 42. Knowing them both, I have absolutely no idea what they have to talk about

Actually at 15 it's a bit pointless. Half your age is 7.5 meaning that the youngest person you could go out with would be 14.5. A bit of common sense here please.

It's only really in adulthood when this rule comes into play. Like, if someone who is 30 started mounting people who are 21 I would be on to the authorities/village elders, as 22 is half their age plus 7.

If said 21 year old was to turn 22 BEFORE said 30 year old turned 31, then it is acceptable though.

Dj Stiggie

My ex just turned 34 and I'm 22. The distance is what ended it for us, she's American. It is just a number.

preston johnny

You need to have a firm rule when it comes to dating older women.
If she's firm enough, you can shag her.

Lennyzip

My missus is 6 years older then me . I've always hung around with people who were older then me . I actually don't have much time for people my own age and certainly had no time for going out with women younger then me , having to deal with all their juvenile nonsense . Couldn't be happier :-)

The authorities wouldn't be long telling you where to go.

What makes you think she owns a strap-on?

Bipolar Joe

My first sexual relationship was at seventeen with a thirty year old. She was a nut case, but I was young and stupid. Now I am older and also still pretty stupid. I've never gone out with someone younger than I am, the closest I got was two or three years older.

Also, age is hardly "Just a number." I can't see that going down well as a defence in court. "Sure, judge, what is age, like? Just a number, ain't it, yeah? Series of yearly ascending digits!"

Yes and kinda no. I've noticed that age gaps are a lot more socially acceptable today than when I was 20, back in the 80's. One of the guys in my social circle was seeing a woman of 25 when he was 19 and it was the main talking point about them. A woman I knew was going out with a 32 year old when she was 23 and again it was commented on a lot. Neither case would raise an eyebrow today. rightfully too. What business is it of anyones?

knarkypants

Each to their own I say. There's an 18yr age gap between myself and himself and it's never made a blind bit of difference to us. To my knowledge no one has ever made any remarks about it to either one of us.

Anyone who does have an issue with age gaps in other peoples relationships has little in their lives.

Mariasofia

I reckon if it feels right to you thats all that matters. I wouldnt care what anyone else thought. Each to their own and live and let live.

hotbabe1992

Any age is okay for both men and women and vice versa as long as there is an understanding and nobody is taking advantage or using the other person.

Ilyana 2.0

I never went for younger guys; I was always an old head on young shoulders type anyway.

I started seeing himself when I was 18 and he was 23. We got some slagging initially but our age difference has never really been an issue.

myshirt

I have no issue with age gaps. Problem is the women who don't appreciate the maths. A man should be able to trade in one 40 year old for two hot 20 year olds if the opportunity presents itself, without hassle from his wife.

But unfortunately, it is frowned upon.

Lawless2k12

Ah look... if there's grass on the pitch, play ball! Once its legal and both parties are happy, who gives a flying fluck!
