How young is too young for you to date, (married, men, loving)

[Electrician4you]

Really depends on how mature she is. She could be 22 and completely mature and serious about life and she could be freaking loser moron looking for a fun time and a guy to support her. Maturity level matters more than age difference.

Probably the youngest would be 30.Oldest would be 43-45.

But I never know who I would connect with.

I developed a factor (1.18) that anyone can divide or multiply by his/her own age to give what MIGHT be described as an appropriate age range for potential people to be in a relationship with. I think most "normal" people would agree that as we age, larger age gaps are more appropriate than when we are younger, for a variety of reasons, and a factor allows for a flexible range. So here is my "acceptable" range for relationship age gaps (and I even think that it may be a little conservative, except at the lower end of the scale as I don't think young people in their 20s should be dating high school students). What do you think?

Age
20 Youngest
17 Oldest
24 25 21 30 30 25 35 35 30 41 40 34 47 45 38 53 50 42 59 55 47 65 60 51 71 65 55 77 70 59 83 75 64 89 80 68 94

It is about what is relative for your age. When you are 15 years old you don’t date a ten year old but when you are 35 years old you may date an n 30 or 40 year old. I don’t have to date but if I had to it would be within five years up or down. Sadly, women who are five years older than me are almost always wants to be mothers within a few years so I think I would look a few years below my own age.
