I've been wondering about this for awhile and just want to hear from you all: What would be the youngest a 35 yr old man should date or even marry? Is 24 too young? 20? And I don't mean a fling, I mean something that leads to marriage. If that's okay, what would her parents think?? Anything suggestions or experiences with this?? Thanks. =)

Ha ha.. interesting question.... well that depends on the outlook of the girl towards the society... If she is able to handle it its fine...
Moreover more than age its the amount of love the person can give to her counterpart. If she is ready to take the love and not care about the age its absolutely okie.
Coming to family... it again depends on how they understand the realtionship. If the family is liberal enough they may not object!!!
There should be a lot of time involved and lot of thinking should be done before going into some commitment like this!!!

When you say acceptable, are you asking about what the people around you would find as acceptable? When you are sure about someone and realize that this is the "one", you just would not be bothered about their age (unless of course they are below a legal age!).
In this day and age, age is nothing but a number. I know of many 35 year olds behaving like 20 years olds and vice verse. Convincing parents, if at all required, should be to show how compatible you both are, not to give explanations on the whys or hows of the age gap.
My first husband was 10 years older than me, my second a good 11 years. And my first marriage did not break up because of age gap. And my second marriage is much more fulfilling and it has nothing to do with age. I like men who are much older than me, there is a certain attractiveness about mature men.
So go ahead, make your decision, but pls keep age out of the door.

As long as people are of legal age, it doesn't matter. If it's not just a fling, it won't matter what anyone says or thinks. However, I don't think I'd want to marry a 20 year old. That's too young for marriage. Love doesn't know how to count. Why worry?

Why get it accepted from others! It is not for the sake of keeping as per set standards but the longability in the sweet relationship in the couple that after marriage the female get worst effected by those deliveries which you can or can't plan! In a perfect and successful friendship do you see any accountability of age difference!

When I was 20 years old, I was dating with a 31 years old guy. I really did not feel any gap because of the age differences... I think age shouldn't matter.

In my opinion, relationships work best if there is less than a generation between you (ie, neither one of you is old enough to be the other's parent!) Anything more than 15 years means you won't have many cultural references in common and might have different values and viewpoints on things. I think to have more chance of being compatible 10 years or less is probably best.
Usually men go for younger women and that makes sense because younger women are more fertile. Having said that, women tend to live longer than men and so it would make more sense for women to go for younger men - that way she won't end up nursing her husband in his old age!

I agree with the post above, love doesn't know how to count. However, I would be careful. I moved in with someone who was just 7 years younger than me and the age difference turned out to be a much wider gap than I had imagined - it didn't end well.

I would say 25, but I'm only 23. But I would think that at anything below 25 would be a waste of time for someone at your age. Only because the difference in maturaty and knowledge. Thats only my opinion.

this is easy, Half your half and add 7. So a 35 year old man can marry some one that is 24 or older
