50 year old male posing the question what is age appropriate, 10 years? 20 years? 30 years? What's everyone's opinion on this? If this has been posted before please for give me.

Hopefully over 18 unless you're a total perv!

Appropriate for what? Sex? Hooking up with a girl?

If were were sitting down talking face to face with everyone, I would be perfectly honest and blunt when I say I am not an "ageist". As long at two people are of legal age and are in to eachother, that's all that matters.

The important thing to remember is how will this fit in your social circle. If you have friends that don't care what age you date/sex, then there shouldn't be a problem. If you have friends that are hung up on taboos, then you will find yourself eventually driven from the "clan", so there are ancillary social repercussions you need to consider.

Just wondering what others are comfortable with since it is a personal viewpoint depending on the individuals beliefs. I was totally called on this today by a younger woman, who said she loved older men. Honestly I didn't believe anyone in there 20's would be attracted to someone with that much age difference. It appears I am wrong again but hell I've been wrong lots of times before..

I been on this board for many years and chatted with all sorts of women. Some of them were hung up on the age of their perspective date and some weren't. Buck is right. The social milieu that your are in and expect to be in with your date is important. You both have to be comfortable with your surroundings.

isn't it something like:

take your age, divide by 2, add 7 years... so long as the number is above 18 you're good?

When I was 30, I never thought a 18 year old college freshman would even give me a look, but it happened, at least, for a while anyways. And there were others.

Keep in mind, girls in that age group are typically fickle, they're trying new things out, testing the boundaries seeing if there's anything else out there interesting. As long as you go into it knowing you're just part of the temporary phase she's going through, you'll do alright emotionally. Get too attached thinking she's going to be something long-term and you're gonna get stung hard.
There's a rare few that are looking for older men to settle down, and they drop hints that they are looking for family life. If they don't drop hints, they're just girls in a candy store and all the men are candy.

I'd like to be candy to a young (but legal) girl.... ...At least once in awhile.

I don't feel there is a right or wrong age differance between two people as long as you know what your gettign into and if that person is mature and responsible enough to handel the relationship. If you are ina relationship and it is a good one your true friends will support you no matter what the differance in age.

I'm 29 and my gf is 40... we get the age question a lot, but it doesn't bother either of us. we're mentally around the same age

Ive found age doesnt matter if the Guy is Hung and or can use his tongue . Luckily I can use My tongue

I just want to do your neighbor or your babysitter....

Not sure I want to use my tongue after you visited them ..LOL

I'm 50 now and the biggest age differences I have been with was 23 years younger when I was 48 and 7 years older a couple of months ago.

Last Saturday night I was chatting with a stunning 19 year old who made it very clear she would have done me right then if she wasn't with her friends.

As someone else said, as long as she is over 18 and the attraction is there, why not. I have a 23 year old colleague whose boyfriend is 49, lucky bastard!

Don't player hate jsut become the top player.

I don't hate anyone, I'd just like to be in his shoes! You mentioned in another thread your husband is ten years younger than you, he is my hero! Hot older women have always been my weakness, even today at my age.

I will let him knwo that. It was a complete accident we even met but I sure am glad we did. Your day will come just have to wait it out.

I have never thought that such a thing as "age appropriate". really exists. I was going out with a 38 yr. old when I was 17, and drooled over guys in their 20's as far back as jr. high school. I wanted SO bad to have my first sexual experience with my english teacher. I don't think I have ever been with a man who wasn't at least 15 years my senior. I have always appreciated the fact that older men generally know how to treat a woman better. Plus, they ALWAYS know their way around a woman's body more, and also do what they do better. Add those things to the fact that they're usually up for some experimentation that younger men are too inhibited to try. In short... Age means nothing.

I agree completely.

lynette is right... AGE IS JUST A NUMBER. However, i am sick of dating guys that are my age or younger that dont know there way around a womans body. Time to date an older guy methinks

when I'm 90 years old, I want to meet a woman in her 20's who thinks age is just a number and then show her all that I've learned in my years.

Well you are are in luck I think Im older then you
