POLL: Robbing the cradle

it depends how old you are. if you're 50 with a 30 year old, thats fine. If you're 30 with a 10 year old, you got problems.
 
It's all about maturity. And no, not maturity of body - maturity of mind. If both of you operate on similar mental levels, all is good.

The half your age + 7 rule sound ok.
e.g. I'm 22 so 11 + 7 = 18 is safe 🙂

never heard that rule before...but I dont know if I would agree...I am 25, so that means 19 is ok?

too young for my blood
 
Well this totally changes by age, I do not agree a 25 year old should date a 17 year old...8 year difference
But I do agree with a 45 year old dating a 53 year old.. again 8 year difference



I think the older you and your partner are the less this really matters.

Agreed.
 
if one or both of you is(are) under 18, so long as you're within 3 years of eachother, you're good.

past 18, it's really your own choice.

 
You've really got to go at this a different way.

A 40 yr old's 4-5 year diff. is not the same as an 18 yr old's 4-5 year diff.

you should be asking the age of the SO.

Agreed.

Until you're 30 and she's 50- then it all falls apart on Jerry Springer.

Yep.

Age difference really doesn't matter if you get along and have some common interests and goals.
It does matter though if someone is talking about doing something illegal, i.e. an adult with someone who is underage.
