I think it depends where you both are in life. For example, does he have kids if so would he eventually want more. If not and you want kids, move on. Do you have things in common, if so great, if not move on. Think about the future, do you want to be 40 married to someone who is 62, if not move on. You get the idea.0

When I was 23 I dated a 42 year old woman for a short while. She was nice and it was fun, but in the end we just didn't have much in common. But there are plenty of couples out there with big age gaps that are quite happy.0

The more important question is what do YOU think?0

What does it matter what other people think? Do you base everyone you'll date on whether they'll meet public approval or not?0

As long as all legal testing is done, and all debts are settled after every transaction, who are we to judge?0

What about someone who is 43 dating someone 22? Asking for a friend0

This...... Who's business is it but your own, Life's to short to be worrying about others opinions in this matter.... If you are happy and know what you want, then go for it..... Best of Luck0 -
I think this is one of those things where everyone is like "yeah go for it!" "age doesnt matter"....but I mean really...its awkward and bizarre.0

I think that because you are asking for other peoples opinions Then there is already some doubt there. Do what makes you happy.0

I'm 41 and honestly can't imagine having anything in common with a 20 year old. Go for it, but my guess is that you're not exactly getting the socially adept 42 year old in the herd.0

There's almost a 16 year age gap between my significant other and I. Me, 22. Him, 38. Our first anniversary is a couple weeks away. Who you are and who he is, is all that matters - age (as long as everything is legal, as in this case it is) is irrelevant. But, be prepared for people to judge a little, or give you a hard time, my SO and I got our fair share in he beginning, but as we've fallen in love and made one another so happy, our friends and family have grown more supportive.0

I think it's disgusting.
Disgusting that I don't have a 23yo woman interested in me.0 -

Who cares what we think. You're an adult, right?0

There's kind of a "rule" for men dating younger women. Take your age, cut it in half, and add seven years. If she's younger than that, then you are the creepy old guy.
In his case, at the age of 42, his absolute lowest limit he should be looking to date is 28. So he's major creepy dude.0 -

Exactly what I was thinking.
However, what if you were 40 and he was 62. Is that still the same?0
