LOL every time I'd watch karaoke videos clearly eating the eye candy, my mom tries to make me feel bad like, ''LOL he's gotta be really old now,'' and mentally I'm like, ''no1curr.''  Tell her its anthropological research lol. Nah, that wouldn't have any plausible deniability at all. I'm way too obvious.

Back in my day, my classmates would often talk about the "1/2 + 7" rule: you take your age, divide by 2, and add 7, and that's the youngest they'd feel comfortable dating. A good idea in theory, but not always the best in practice. Plus I knew dudes who flaunted that rule all the time, like I knew a 15 year-old guy who was dating a 12-year-old. Creepy to say the least.

Its all about attitude. If one acts such and such, then it is. I agree with you. If otherwise, your just whining for no reason. People that throw around that shit card honestly need to mind their business and stfu. Live life.

At some point it ceases to be about being mature or immature for your years and begins to border on hebephilia or pedophilia.

I only told this story to one other person: you see, back in 2016, I got catfished by a redneck Boomer who shaved 18 years off his age and had a smoking fetish. You see, we used to talk on this hookup site which got shut down a month or two after we started talking. Last I saw him, he was negatively commenting on Yahoo! about a county in Alabama which got wrecked by a hurricane.

all i’m gonna say is people need to stop acting like an 18 year old being attracted to a 16 year old for example is pedophilia or even grooming

I think it's more about the individuals than their age. Personally I would date anyone in their twenties right now but maybe go slightly over in either direction if they seemed young/mature for their age. While I don't care what anyone else wants to do, I don't really see why people want to date anyone more than like ten years older than them. Especially coming from my perspective as a female, as it tends to most commonly be much older man much younger woman. Even though we tend to think years apart matters less as one ages, there does actually arrive a point where one person can be "old" while the other half of the couple is not. I have seen this become a problem with a few couples I've been somewhat close to. One person may still be working while another is long retired, one may be active while the other has slowed it down. Not that these incongruencies can't form after a while with those close in age, because they can, but I think they're almost guaranteed in intergenerational relationships. By 20s do you mean 20-24 or 20-29? I only ask because technically people in their mid-late 20s and early 30s are typically in the same age group.

Oh dang this is an old thread. Oh well I'll answer anyway. I'll be 30 in October, but I don't really have any dating experience. So for me it's more about life stage than age. As long as they are legal adults of course (that goes without saying). For example, I would have far more in common with 23 year old who's out of college than I would a 33 year old single mom. And seeing as I never want to be a dad or a stepdad, the former option would be a better fit for me than the latter. Not that 23 and 30 is such a huge difference anyway, but I'm just using this as an example. I'm also not sure I want to get married, I want to get some experience first. I have an irrational fear of marrying my first girlfriend and being the "settle down guy". I want to have the chance to explore dating and figure out what I want the same way most people do. That being said, if I meet someone who I really hit it off with, who's a near perfect match, then I'd consider a long term relationship or even marriage. But even the idea of marriage is iffy to me. Maybe my mind will change, who knows?
