Why do so many people have a problem with 20 year olds dating 50 year olds?

Nice. They're just jealous.

First off, kudos to you! Not letting the age difference get in the way of love! *applauds*\n\nUmm, I wouldn't know the answer, per-se. But I suppose people around that age just look at the world today and see it as something of a sham, a fake, a phony world (Catcher in the Rye reference...). Being a young adult myself, I look around me and think my peers are absolutely moronic. I think he would just rather be better off wallowing in the world he once had than being forced into a world of plastic and faux-happiness.

It doesn't mean anything.  A lot of people, especially guys like to date younger people.  You just have to decide if your interested in older people.

Age is really only a Number.  There's no magic number for anything.  It's not like as soon as someong turns 17 magicly r rated movies won't affect them the same, or as soon as someone tuns 21 they are responsible enough to consume alchahol.  You should be old enough to understand, and beable to accept the consequences good or bad of what happens becouse of it.   Some people are like this very young.  Other people should never really date.

Because by the time you get to be fifty, you are SET in your ways and ideas and not easily changed. Because of this, it is hard for two fifty year old people to get together and work out indifferences. I know, I'm 47 and can't find anyone like me!

21, because 18 year olds aren't mature enough to handle it! But then again most 21 year olds aren't either!

Kinda have to laugh at that one. I don't even think of late 20's as a age difference. I'm 36, recently dated a 28 yr old. We would occasionally laugh and he'd call me a cradle robber, and i'd call him a silly boy, but it's all in play. As long as you are emotionally responsible, then the conversation should flow naturally. (I'm into 80's music and star wars~~ yes geeky, I know, but typical of the ladies my age....).... Try starting with stuff like that.

I believe that both parties need to be of age or at least close to it. As long as they are happy, I don't see where we have the right to tell them they are wrong. My BF has a cousin in her 30s and her husband is 83! They are happy. She is his life...literally, she is what keeps him young!\n\nNo age is not an issue it is a number!

nothing wrong with you. I dated a guy for 8 years who was 18 years older than me.... it was a wonderful experience.

I myself am not inclined to date a guy more then a year or two younger then me. The stereotype says that young men are immature and while it does have it's truth I think it's more about life experience and I couldn't handle a guy that not on my level. I am not saying relationships with large age gaps don't work, just that I would pass on that scene. On the flip side women are sometimes attracted to older men, again that whole stereotype that older men are more mature. For one that's not always true and in most cases older guys looking for younger women are just using them for sex and half of those guys are still married. I guess what I am trying to say is they have to much baggage. They have been screwed over by too many other women generally and so again not that those relationships don't work out but I have no intention on venturing there either.

I'm 56 and women your age want to date us guys cause the women your age say younger men are too immature! But it is your choice of what you want out of life? Myself, a women has no age limit for me as long as we are compatible.\nGo for it girl, all you need is self esteem!

No i think that is perfectly fine!!! Well i would think that when me and my better half got together i was 20 and he was 29, 3 years later and we have a awsome strong relationship, i was ready for something serious to plant my feet into and so was he, we had alot of things in common, i mean yes there are times when i think wow hes really been around alot more then i have and i can feel a little bit intimidated, but in the long run im thankfull he has those experiances to help guide our steps, I think he has come to believe that im never going to be perfect, even though i really try to do everything well, im not completely at his level on thinking, he has more life lessons to reflect on, but i dont think its a problem when we both discuss everything and keep the lines of communication open, just like any other relationship, my best friend is in the same boat, her husband is 10 years older then her and oddly enough shes the more responcible one, i dont see why any one would think its wrong, now if you were 25 and she was 15 there might be a huge responce to you sick mo fo lol but i dont think there is anything wrong with you liking her, ask her out, she might be into older guys, and with good reason, guys that are 20-24 are enough to make you want to puke, they only want one thing, they havnt figured out yet theres more to life then a nice set of boobs lol they dont know how to deal with money worth a crap, they only look out for themselfs, where older guys have alot more figured out, theres so many more perks to dating a older guy i could go on forever, more or less your more established at 30... id say go for it :) you have nothing to lose

People don't understand the context of difrent nations and stuff. For the most part people in the US and other contrues with similar laws are fully prepared for life and aware of all the problems that can come with sexual activity and the fact there can be compilcations with pegancies that young... so it's iligal for anyone to have sex with some one under 18 now if your over 18.\n\nIt's felt they are taking advantage of the persons nivity.\n\nHowever other contries, and even the US up untill about 100 years or so ago. It was exspected for people to be prepared for life and know thise kinda things MUCH younger and they where exspected to start there life sooner too. So boys where/are exspected to start looking for a wife as early as 11~15 and marry as soon as posable.\n\n\n\nI agree that taking advanage of younger teens and what not is wrong. But people tend to forget in the past and in other countries kids aren't as nivie at that age.

Every relationship is different.  Age doesn't really play a factor (unless the guy is 95 and in a wheelchair and the girl is 20).
