Legally is fine.

I personally wouldn't have an interest in a 19 yr old girl if I was 26.

There's a pretty good mental age gap for most people at that point. Of course it depends on the individuals involved.

Yes I suppose OLD men will age like milk since they are already old.

One of my boys is 26, and he's seeing a 19 year old...she looks mature enough but I'm not sure. She's not old enough to drink.
I'm 26 and can barely stand 22 year olds.

If a guy is in his mid 20s and has to resort to 18/19 year olds he's probably desperate.

Maybe he wants to marry a virgin? Having a wife who had only ever slept with you?

Succinct.

Yet accurate.

I was eluding to this in my post.

I didn't put the finer point on it as you did though.

I personally think it's sickening due to the fact that they're just kids and many of the ones I've come across didn't have much going for them apart from a pretty face and a nice body.
Unless they're serving in the armed forces or have a full-time job and school commitments around that age, I stay away from it.

Then again, since I never intend to be ones "macho man" or "shining knight", that's just the way I think.
And the way I see it, MOST women around that age are looking for some sort of protector/provider.

Yeah, this kind of age gap is borderline manipulation. 18/19 year olds are "adults" but still kids. I was on my own at that age, but if I knew then what I know now.. my life would be different.

As others have said, it depends on the people involved. Also depends on the exact ages-- 19 and 24 isn't as significant of a difference as 18 and 26, obviously. One complies with the "half your age plus 7" rule, and the other doesn't.

Both are adults, so I don't care.

From a legal or moral perspective I don't care, either. I was just thinking in terms of how likely it is to work.
