you know the old saying.. "If there's grass on the field... Play Ball!!"

But personally... I wouldn't go beyond the 5 finger rule; no more than 5 years appart.. but then again, I am single, and have been for a while.. maybe I should start lowering my age requirements... hmmmm

So Michael Douglas (60) and Catherine Zeta Jones (35) are in trouble then... 60/2 = 30 +7 = 37, but they've been married for 4 years now.

<smirk>

Yes they are in TROUBLE, the math just doesn't work out. However in 4 more years they will be great for each other.

well, at the age of 23 some guys can be pretty immature and have a mentality of say 18 to 19
so the girl on the other hand could be matured in thinking . so the age gap in that sense isn't too bad.

I think there is nothing wrong with it if they can get along.
but the "she" can have an attitude change after she gets to her 20s... so thats the risk they gotta take when it comes to compatibility few years down the road...

or if they are planning to have a steady relationship

what's wrong if the guy is 23? think of what a tard you were when you were 16-19. at least the 23 yo would have a job and have graduated college.

I?ve read every thread and, WOW, this is a crazy thread. Are they all this good? I may give-up GH to come see you guys in OT.

Personally I think everyone is about on the same page. Of course no one will admit it, and almost everyone is exaggerating their beliefs to show faults in someone else?s. The people that say age has nothing to do with it, obviously doesn?t want a 30 year old man banging their 10 year old sister/daughter whatever. And the people that say age has everything to do with it surly wouldn?t say that the aforementioned Douglas/Jones marriage is bad.

I think it all has to do with a combo of age and where you are going in life. First off you have to see if the person is old enough to be in the sort of situations that serious dating encompass. If that is OK then all is good in that area, granted there are some gray lines here when the two people are really young and quite frankly neither are old enough but that is another thread. Second, if the two people are headed in the same direction than maybe age differences should be over looked. In Douglas/Jones 25 years is a lot, but they are both professionals and both are in the ?same place? in there lives. However, an 18 year old and a 43 are not in the same place; same 25 years but different situations.

I think the deciding factor should be when they actually reach adulthood. Myself I was a late bloomer. I was in my middle to early 20s before I actually knew what I wanted from life. However I had several relationships, and even a couple of engagements, (glad those didn?t pan out). Some people are different, my young brother for example has been the same since he was 17-18, and he has never made any kind of change to adulthood (but he?s only 27, maybe he?s a really late bloomer!).

Now none of this holds to little High School dating. You are too young. Sure you think you are old enough, and maybe a couple of you are. But as the older ATers will tell you, you aren?t. Hell I thought I was old enough, but now looking back I can see very clearly I wasn?t. So if you are in HS and want to date, date someone your own age for convenience. It?s a lot easier than waiting for them to get off work at the factory or whatever, then trying to convince your folks that this 27 year old is what you have been waiting for your whole 16 - 17 years on this earth. Pick up a guy/girl from your class or close by and go have fun, wait until later to get serious.

23 and 16 might be fun for a night, but in terms of long term dating I'd call the guy a loser regardless of how hot she is. That's just lame for a long term thing.

I think the girl needs to make graduating from high school a priority

Ugh, why would a guy who's college age or older WANT to date a high school girl? They were great when I was IN high school, but they are so lame now...I can't believe I could talk with high schools girls back then

how is a 23 year old dating a almost 18 year old any different?
you guys said it was intrests..

what could this 23 year old possibly have in common with Billy Joel... except maybe HIS MONEY...

I dont see the good vs bad line... here.. i see Billy Joel as much more the dirty old man than I see the posters friend...

the difference is that at 17, the girl doesn't know what she wants. at 23, kate lee knows that she wants to be a golddigging whore and billy joel knows that he wants to fvck the brains out of a WOMAN less than twice his age.


=|

I did a 17 old chick once, so fvcking what?

How old were you at the time though?

- M4H

13

Well then, you's a Pimp, son.

- M4H



The wenches, the tequila, oh yeah, i am ready.



:camera: pics and then we will decide, but my current advise is hit it

True for the most part but that?s a pretty big generalization. You can't lump everyone into one category and call them immature solely on the basis of their age.

Wow. Killer thread. Found it thanks to Google when searching for what other people's experiences are on this topic.

All right, I think I'm borderline here. Age 21 -- 22 in less than a week -- and this 17 year old girl and me have been been getting pretty friendly. Not even close to dating level but it's pretty obvious both of us like each other. She'll be 18 in February. So basically she's about 17.7 and I'm 22.0. What do you guys think about this?

Personally I don't think that's a very big deal especially when she's almost 18 and your age range is not that great.
