when i was in my late 30s i had a fling with a girl in her early 20s. she actually pursued me. i wasn't exactly going to high-tail it out of there....once i found out she was addicted to meth it was bye-bye.
The best rule of thumb that I have heard is half your age plus 7, but that is for a relationship. I am sure if you are both consenting adults, and it is just for a fun time, age doesn't really matter. Again, as long as you are both consenting adults.
My parents were 18 years apart when they got married. Two of my sisters were attracted to men who were much older than themselves. So, I see no problem with you having friendly relationships with girls and women of all ages.
@BigBulge Remember though that an average man will consider mostly all women when evaluating who to approach, but an average woman will only consider high-value men for relationships. Most men are invisible to the majority of women. But big age gap relationships are fine if it's genuine and honest.
Not really unless you have unsavoury intentions. If you make genuine connections with much younger women just remember they will probably see you as a means of support not so much a romantic love interest, and they could practice hypergamy (dating 'up').
There is nothing wrong with age-difference relationships between consenting adults. I'm 48, my bf is 66. We became an item when I was 24 and he was 42.
