Robbing the cradle

Im going to be 23 in two weeks. Ive been talking to this girl for a while now and I knew she was 18. I was under the impression that she was almost 19 but tonight I asked her when her birthday was and she said August . Realy I don't care that much since she seems to be on my level maturity wise. How big an age difference before it starts getting weird in your oppinion? What is the biggest age gap youve ever had in a relationship? I was seeing a 22 year old when I was 19 and if things get seriouse with this girl then it will be the biggest difference in the other direction.

Good question Chemical_Smile.
> How big an age difference before it starts getting weird in your oppinion? It doesn't matter to me...though it's important to abide by the age of consent, which in NY is 17 years of age.
> What is the biggest age gap youve ever had in a relationship? I was 17...she was 31...I would rather but that all aside for now, but I'd like to contribute to your question Chemical_Smile.

That's a pretty acceptable age range. I wouldn't sweat it...
Robbing the cradle would be more like if I (age 37) started dating an 18 year old...

Think of it this way... If she was one of the Olsen twons, would it really matter?

I dunno, I'm 21 and I've never dated anybody younger than me. My GF is a year and a half older than me. I hardly find women my age attractive though. They really don't know what they want. Hell, I don't know exactly what I want, but anyway. I've always been very attracted to women that are 3-5 years older than me. My girl and I were split up for a few months and I dated a woman who 22, I was almost 19, that wasn't too weird, but it was never really too serious. I think at our age 4 years younger would be pushing it a bit on the weird factor, but I think it really depends on how mature she is.

im less than a month away from 18 and my man is 23... honestly, if you connect on a maturity level and there's no problems witht he parents... then there should be no problem with the age. i mean that's just my personal beliefs... the ONLY thing I can say about age wise... i sometimes feel like I am held back...but when you have SUCH an amazing guy like my man... that shit means nothing.

I teased my boss before and told him he was a cradle robber and his wife was my age and he got all pinched but then I told him he was the man and had the right idea going! Age shouldn't matter, is she the same maturity level as you? I think that's one thing that's important for building a healthy relationship, but if you just want to have fun, that doesn't matter either. Hope that made sense..

Robbing the cradle would be more like if I (age 37) 
I was 19, and dated a 38 yr old man for a year and some months. It was quite an experience.
Now Im 28, tomorrow Ill be 29, and Im looking at a 22 yr old.  How times do change. I suppose its all about how you are mentaly matched - the 38 yr old and I were good cause I have always been precosious, and he wanted to teach - the 22 yr old and I (could) be good, cause Im older and he wants to Learn. I suppose its all about timing Chem. - OoD

I for one, don't believe age is an issue so I say go for it OoD. You do what feels right for you. BTW, I was watcing Scarface last night and I saw your avatar! It was a picture hanging in the kitchen of Tony's mom's house. I was all excited and like "That's OoD's avatar!" Too bad no one else knew what the hell I was talking about!  -Bruiser

Age is not an issue at all, unless you allow it to be. I am 33 and date much younger women on a regular basis...it may be an issue of maturity (or lack of on my part) but personally I think it's just matter of preference. I just prefer to be the "teacher"...

I was cradle-robbed. My frist serious girl (the one that moved to Canada) was 25 and I was 16, and 17 when we broke up. We were perfect for eachother tho. Except she didn't smoke pot (she hated the taste.) She was Asian so she looked young and we didn't get weird looks on dates or anything. My parents loved her but they didn't think she was that much older either. I don't know where I'm going with this, but dammit, age shouldn't matter (that much). If you're both happy, you're both happy. And thats all that should matter.
edit: BTW I finally talked to her yesterday! She has a girlfriend now and is finishing up school up there in Kitchener. Dammit. Can someone up there in Canadia please knock her out and send her down here? I miss that anime-obsessed girl. PM me if you need a description.

IMHO, the absolute perfect age for a woman is 28. I think all 18 year old guys should be hooked up with women who are 28, and all 65 year old guys should also be hooked up with women who are 28.
Don't ask me what to do when they turn 29, though. I haven't figured that out yet.

I'm 38 and my current g/f is 23. Age really wasn't a concern when we hooked up, we just both seemed to be on the same wavelength. I don't think it will last in the long run, because even though she now says she doesn't want kids, I suspect her mind will change later. I'm done with the children thing, one is enough for me. IMHO women aren't fully ripe babes until the age of 35. They just seem to have their shit together by that age. Women in their 30's and older just seem so much more sexy to me for some reason. Not that younger women aren't sexy.
