What is an acceptable age gap in dating?
 

Poll

I guess I didn't word my question the best. What is the largest age gap you feel is socially acceptable?

The older you get, the less the gap matters.

Depends on how old the younger person is. 4 yrs can be legally too much and 24 yrs could be perfectly acceptable.

Precisely.

If you're 16, dating a 12-year old is not cool.

But if you're 66 and you want to marry someone 40 years younger, it's perfectly fine.

Seems like I once heard a rule of "divide by 2 and add 7" as a good rule of thumb:

18 --> 16
24 --> 19
30 --> 22
40 --> 27
50 --> 32
60 --> 37
70 --> 42

Seems directionally reasonable at least.

The Half your age plus Seven:
A person should never date someone whose age is less than half their own plus seven years.

This rule of thumb has fell apart for me several times.
I've dated young, I've dated old. In my opinion keep it close to 3-5 years

For actually dating, as opposed to just ****ing, my rule was 10 years in either direction, tops. I was once set up with a 24-year-old...when I was 40, and she was far less mature than her age suggested. Even though it was legal, it felt very creepy.

It also didn't feel right banging women in their 50s who had grandkids, but I did anyway. LMAO

Grandmother ****er.

LMAO

What they lack in youth, they make up for in experience.

Voted all the above. Hef and me say live and let live.

Dated within 8-10 years each way, but never went over that. I would’ve felt like a creeper being the same age as their parents/children.
