Oh, I'm into them all right. And not just ones like you, either. There's something about a hot woman in her forties or fifties, a kind of gracefulness and ruggedness at the same time. MMMmmm cougars!

Ewwwww

Early 40s maybe, like 42 or 43, maybe 44, but man, 50s?

I wouldn't mind an older woman. She has to at least be above 20, and yeah, I could probably set 40 as a standard as well. Hehe.

I'd be surprised if an older woman would like me, because I don't really want the Cougar-kind. The only real issue would be having to explain myself to my mother. She's very judgmental, and I don't like when innocent people becomes the subject for her nasty trust issues.

How creepy would me (21) and a 17 yo woman be? It's just on the cusp of failing A/2+7 (it really depends on whether you round to the nearest or drop decimals or whatever: 21/2 = 10.5 + 7 = 17.5) But I was also under the impression that you don't want age differences of greater than 3 years if both parties are under 25...

Go for it. It's not creepy at all if you ask me. A year from now she'll be 18 and you'll be 22.

It's four years. My parents are 3 years apart. 25 and 17 might be an issue, though.

Another possibility that I heard an NT say about the topic is that it's not so much the age number itself that's important, it's the stage of life that the people involved are in.

This actually makes more sense to me.

I've known older people to act more immature than people younger than them and vice versa so it always boggles me everytime a person generalize age with maturity level.

Exactly.

I'm 19, and the oldest I'd probably date would be 22. However, I'd feel uncomfortable dating someone who would be 35-plus.

I am twenty. I would consider anyone 20 +/- 5, though 20 +/- 2 is more comfortable.

After that, it becomes a game of finding similarities, common interests and enough challenges to keep the relationship interesting.

This.

Stop stressing over what anyone else thinks. Get on with your lives.

Go for it.
