These young bitches be down for anything. Some of them like to prove themselves or like being bragged about.
I'm 27 my girlfriend of 5 years is 34. I don't see an issue with age gaps that are reasonable. I'd say anything over 15 years at least in my opinion is pushing it but at the end of the day its their lives and it doesn't affect me..so whatever.
I don't think most people mind a 10 or even 20 year age gap, as long as both are at least above 18 years old.
Though I admit that a 70 year old man dating a 20 year old girl does make a certain impression. It also doesn't bother me, but it does provoke some thoughts.
15 years, in both directions, for me and it was awkward as fuck. My ex-wife who is a year older than I am is Asian and looks extremely young. I have wrinkles, grey in my beard hair on my head. We were eating at a restaurant and the waitress thought I was her father. That was also awkward as fuck.
I'm the root of all that is evil, yeah, but you can call me cookie.
What's the rule on Parks and Rec? Half your age plus 7? Would work most the time I suppose.

I have dated a few people much older than me. and I do mean much (biggest difference was 20 years). mostly, it was due to having trouble finding anything in common with dudes my age and feeling more comfortable with older guys. it definitely wasn't a dynamic of being taken care of or some sort of paternal relationship - but rather a degree of emotional maturity that they had and my age peers did not. but.. I ended up marrying someone who is 2 years older then me. because again - we had a whole bunch of stuff in common.
for me, its not the age, but rather how well do you mesh together.
I don't care whom other people date, as long as they are consenting adults.
My current relationship has an 18 year difference. However, despite that it's the best one that I've had, by far.

I think it's a bit odd especially depending on the ages of those involved. 50-60 dating someone who's still >30? Weird as hell. 30+ person dating someone say... 50~ then it becomes less weird in my eyes. Guess I just have problems with the "maturity" differences between huge age gaps. I feel like it's taking advantage of a person's inexperience when you date waaaaaay under your age.
Like anything, it depends on the people involved. Personally, I probably wouldn't date someone 10+ years older than me, since I likely wouldn't be able to connect with them well. But younger than me, any reasonable age (like 16+) would be okay, as long as they want it.
I mean, age in itself doesn't matter; it is just that usually it correlates with certain general mindsets that don't connect well, if the difference is too high.

Oh, and as for other people - I am perfectly fine with anything. If a person of 15 y/o loves a person of 105 y/o, then, like any love, it is awesome! <3
My largest gap was 19 years (she had kids that were only like 3 years younger than me). I've had a few between 15 and 19 years difference, always with an older woman.
I enjoyed the relationships immensely, but I always knew there was no future in it, as did the women involved. It's not fair to be a full generation apart. When she retired, I'd still be working for 20 more years, so while she'd want to travel the world, I wouldn't be able to. Then when I retired and wanted to travel the world, she'd be geriatric and unable to do so. Then when I was geriatric and needed someone to help take care of me, she'd probably be dead. It's just not really fair to anyone involved. Fun for a while, but not forever.
The biggest difference I'd be likely to accept for an actual life partner is 10 years. I could see being with a 43 year old now, though the idea of dating a 23 year old sounds kind of awful. The youngest I want to date right now is 26, and I feel like even that is pushing a little bit for me.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes

All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Its only okay in chinese girl cartoons.
OT - Never been in a relationship in the first place, so nope.
Pretty fond of older women too. Maybe not 30+ years older, but I do aim for older than me.
Regarding the examples shown on the OP, they are too much for my personal tastes but, as everything in life that is legal, up to each individual to do as they are two consenting adults. Whatever floats their boat.

Do whatever you want imo. I don't think age gap is necesarily a bad thing provided you actually have a working relationship. My cousin is 35 and got 18 year old pregnant and they are getting married. Pretty good catch for her since my cousin has a big new house and is generally fun person to be around with.
Personally biggest age gap I've had is 1 year younger so I can't really say much about it. I supposed I could deal with larger age gaps as well provided we had similar interests and connected well.
