Is it wrong for me to go out with someone younger?

I'm 48, in very good shape and I find it hard to go out with women my own age. I want to be with someone who is like me, they need to have energy, athletic and in shape. I know this sounds bad, but I keep on dropping the age limit to find someone compatible, I've dropped it down to 30 now (that is as low as I will go). So, should I feel bad about this?

    No its not wrong unless she is under 18.. I say go with what suits your heart. Older ladies tend too be more mature tho, I find that I like guys that are 5-7 years younger than me.

    As long as you have things in common I can't see the problem.

    I'm in a relationship, so this is kind of off topic, but....I just creeped your profile and the pictures of you.....you're 48? GOOD GOD DAMN MAN WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?

    You will have NO problem attracting a woman. Meow. (I am 32. I do not think that 30 is unreasonable.)

    30 and 48 isn't bad, the gap closes as people get older. My fiance is 41. O_o

    Nope, you should date someone you like and have things in common with regardless of age.

    Are you accepting applications to date you via PM? :wink:

    The rule is half your age plus 7.

    edited because I can't read...


    do what makes you happy.
    rules are more like guidelines anyway

    Do what you want. But keep in mind no matter the age there will still be difficulties, perhaps you should do a self-check to see what you are doing right or wrong.

    Assuming that you have social skills in addition to being fit (your opening line here calls that into question), you shouldn't put any arbitrary age limit on it, in my view.

    I'm 32, hubby is 47. It happens, and it works! The only time we really notice the difference is when we talk popular culture. Anything pre-1980, and I give him a blank stare... lol
