I am a FIRM believer that consenting adults should be allowed to do with other consenting adults whatever it is they want - marriage, polygamy, prostitution, pornography, one night stands, S&M, etc. Therefore, age differences between consenting adults means NOTHING to me. Do what makes you happy...

I guess I'm very traditional/old-fashioned, in that I generally believe men should date women who are either the same age as themselves or reasonably younger (a 40, 50 or 60-something guy chasing after a girl in her late teens or 20s in not OK in my book), and women should generally date men of the same age or older (a couple years younger is OK).

I know I'll take flack from the ladies on the board for saying this, but I really think that a woman in her mid-thirties and up who dates guys who are in their 20s makes the woman look like she's desperate and just looking for sex. I really believe that when women in their 30s or 40s (or older) go after or allow themselves to be dated by guys in their 20s, they are really having problems with the fact that they are aging. These women know that they will not have their looks forever (I'm not saying that men will either as they get older) and they are trying to recapture the feeling that they had when they were in their 20s themselves.

I view a highly experienced male seducing one or more highly inexperienced females (of the same age even) as being almost as bad as pedophilia.

Unfortunately, such "Don Juans" are quite common these days, and their ranks are growing by the minute.

Old men with really young women is a bit warped as well (unless she's after his money LOL)

Did I mention that there's an excess of young men and older women? Look up "sex ratio by age."
