Although i dont agree with someone that old dating someone that young the age of consent is 18 what is the difference? A 17 or 18 year old is old enough to make adult decisions for themselves. shes not 12 or 13 shes a woman. We baby our children in our culture which is really a disservice to them. The legal drinking age is 21 and our country has the highest percentage of drunk drivers. other countries where people are aloud to drink at younger ages don't have as many issues because they learn self control.

You know honestly I flinched at first when I read your post. As a mom to a son and daughter I get where those feelings come from. We see our kids at well kids even when they are grown up. However I also can't put aside that I was engaged at 17 and married at 18. My husband however is only 4 yrs older than me. But ot wasn't inappropriate. Everyone agreed with and appreciated our relationship. We were both very mature. I had many other friends who were engaged and married right at the same time. We all are still married and none of us were pregnant or anything. We were all just very mature and I guess ready to start our lives and didn't need to sow our oats or experience all yhe craziness out there. Most of us had already experienced that stuff and knew it wasnt for us. 14 yrs later.
But still I do hesitate when I hear about a celebrity who is over twice her age and has so many women to choose from. I am curious if anyone has a picture of her.
It also seems to make me womder more if this is why he had absolutely 0 chemistry with Gabrielle Anwar. Not just Fiona but I think he just had 0 chemistry woth Gabby. He seemed to always be at such a distance from her. Touched and looked at her like a sister or just some stranger. It has always been odd to me. -

You guys see it from a parent's perspective. I'm not a parent yet, so I had different thoughts.
My Dad's wife is actually 26 years younger than him. They've been together for ages and happily married now. I totally love her. But she was 27 when they met.
So my first thought was, what would I have thought if she had been 17 when they got together? And honestly I would have had a few things to say.
So, yeah. My respect for Donovan is out the window. -

Hey folks, Bogey was I think 44 or so when he met 19 year old Bacall, and they went down in holl5b4ywood history!
Sure, I could see both sides here. Thankfully, I got nothing in common with the vast majority of younger generation gals. But if the right one came along and took a liking to me? I couldn't disqualify her just based on age. That might be terribly foolish!
Donovan's wife looks to be a smart young lady. Mature both physically and mentally/emotionally, to me. I wouldn't like a high school aged daughter going with an old guy much, I'm sure. But then again, have you seen how dumb and dangerous teenaged boys can be? I know I was a dummy back then. Took young gals for granted, too. Sometimes an older partner has more to offer a young adult of either sex.
I know I found older women sometimes intriguing when I was a young man. Still do at times, though my cut-off age might be around 55. And I'm sure many of you gals have found older guys interesting.
Most of the time I don't think it works, but if some older guys/gals find a younger partner they're compatible with, I just gots no place to judge.
As an aside, I was talking to a 42 year old, old friend a while back. He sounded all bummed out, which is the opposite of usual for him. Turns out a 56 year old woman had recently broke his heart! He said it was 10 x worse than when his ex wife done so. This guy never had probs getting gals so it sorta surprise me!
