[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ Um a 36-year-old man dating a 26-year-old woman is not creepy at all. That’s a pretty normal age gap. He’s not that old and she’s not that young…”

A 10 year age gap is kinda creepy. I dated a 39 year old when I was 29, and there was definitely a power imbalance where he called the shots and I went along. It was until after we broke up that I realized how much he used that to manipulate, as I got older I realized that if I’d been his age when dating him I would not have believed his b.s. or put up with his behavior. And I think a lot of men who regularly date significantly younger do so because they’ve learned that they can can get away with things that they wouldn’t with women who have the same amount of life experiences.[/quote]

I hope you realize that they are adults, right?

FWIW, my father was a 49-year-old CEO when he married my mother, who was 24 years old at the time, and they had a wonderful life.  My father passed away at the age of 82, and my mother has not dated anyone since.[/quote]
