It all depends on the person you're dating...I've known some very mature 21-23 y/o's. Not so much...under age 20 though. I actually can't stand being around the majority of people under age 20...I had to start taking online classes because there was such a difference in maturity levels.
You're what...23 or 24? How can there be such a drastic difference in maturity between 23 and 19? I'm 19 and have been mistaken for 23, so there can't be much of a difference. I have a lot of 22 year olds (not 23, but close) in my classes and I don't notice a drastic difference between us...you'd think we were the same age if you never knew.
When you complain how immature people under 20 are, you sound more like you're 44, not 24.
There is quite a difference in people I've met that are 19...I don't care that I sound 44, you can see my profile that I am in fact, 24. I would rather hang out with people my age...to each their own. And yes, they are immature because I have 50 credits and have been in plenty of classes with people that age...I quit going to campus because I couldn't learn anything with the people being disruptive in class.
I don't think there's an exact age gap because it often depends on the people involved. I'm in college. I'm attracted to guys my own age and guys in their 30s. It depends on the guy. Granted, if the guy is old enough to be my dad, then that's a bit much because I'm just not physically attracted to most guys at that age. However, even then there are exceptions like George Clooney. But they're called exceptions for a reason.
Now, it is CREEPY AS HELL when a guy solely targets super young chicks because then it seems as if he's just chasing young tail.

All I'm saying is you're making it sound like there's a drastic age difference when there's not. You were their age not too long ago. Maybe you're meeting the wrong 19 year olds, but not all 19 year olds are immature. Maturity is related to age, but age is not the only factor. There are immature people that are older than me. You probably know some immature people your age.
I don't know what you mean by being disruptive in class, but texting during class is one of my pet peeves. And this is coming from a 19 year old.
My parents got married at 23, and when they look at the footage from their honeymoon, they say how they don't seem much older than me (and they've been saying that since I was 17).
When they start answering you with "Sir", you're too old.
What about "Master"?

Men in their 40's can date down to 28, men in their 50's can go date down to about 32. I think I read that somewhere or just made it up.
