Is Age Really Just A Number?

When it comes to dating, sex, and relationships how important is the age factor? Of course there are certain no no's such as a 13yo with a 30yo, whether the minor is male or female it's just wrong and a FELONY. But in legal situations when is the age difference just too great if there even is a limit? I'll attack this from a couple different angles.

First lets start off with the double standard. It's typically acceptable for a woman to date an older man but no so much so when the male is younger then the female is older. Suddenly the woman is looked at as a cradle robber even if the age difference is a mere 2 years. Of course as we get older a 2yr difference becomes less significant, and women are considered cradle robbers when the difference is more like 7yrs or so... I think this double standard goes back to the thought that females develop mentally 2 yrs ahead of men. Which is why women date older men to be with someone who is on their level. Other females or looking for daddy figures which is something i'll cover in a future post and also sugar daddy's look out for those...

Ok now forgetting the gender issue when do you consider the age difference to be too big? When we're 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years apart? Sometimes people find genuine happiness with someone wayyy older then them and I won't knock it. Then there are others who use their younger companions as trophy pieces and as a way to make themselves feel younger and well that I won't support.

Well whatever the situation who am I to cast judgement. I've dated younger men and older men and neither worked so to each his own. Whatever makes you happy go for it...
