[quote=Anonymous]I think that older folks should avoid dating anyone under 25 because you do a lot of growing up and learning between college and age 25.  It's not a hard-and-fast rule, but I would think less of a 40-year-old friend of mine who pursued a 23-year-old.  (either sex.)  I would wonder what the hell they had in common, and assume the older person was immature or had bad motives.

After the age of about 27 or 28, I don't think it matters much.  I have guy friends who married women 15 years younger, and I have female friends who married men 8 years younger.  It's fine.

I personally tend to stick pretty close to my own age when dating.  I have several younger brothers so I tend to feel sort of big-sister-ish/maternal toward guys who are more than a few years younger than me.  And I'm kind of a young 41-year-old in terms of my active lifestyle and my musical tastes (which skew young), so guys who are more than a few years older than me sometimes feel too old.  I've crossed the 50-year-old age line a couple of times and had a hard time relating.  [/quote]
