Not as acceptable as dating one closer to your own age, perhaps, but social mores are fairly flexible these days. Heck, it's becoming acceptable to do the reverse, as well.

There are myriad things that are unacceptable socially, but that is precisely why many of us suffer through the many stages of social development. I firmly believe that as long as you are not breaking the law, imposing yourself on others, or hurting yourself or others, do what feels right to you. Who really cares what society thinks or opines. There are many social norms that are outdated, very biased, or based on moral beliefs that have no validity in every day life. There are certain factors you, as an individual, has to put on the scale when dating someone twice your age. Consider the distinct levels of maturity, stamina, your tastes in music, your professions, and the like instead of considering what society
deems correct or acceptable!

It depends on the age of the two involved. For example, a 30 year old should expect statutory rape charges if he's dating a 15 year old, and if he doesn't he's an idiot. Then again, if a 20 year old dates a 40 year old it's acceptable, however someone is clearly looking for a parental figure (or money).

Whether or not its socially acceptable doesnt matter. Im 42 and it wouldnt bother me if I dated a 21 year old.

why not as long as you are happy it should not matter.
my 1st hubby was 31 years my senior and we had a son before he passed away. this is one of the downfalls of being with someone that age but i would not trade it for anything.
my hubby now is 10 years older and we have 2 more children together. i would not change anything about my life i love all of my boys very much.

Why not. Who cares what anyone else thinks as long as you are happy. Now of course, if the girls is 15 and the guy is 30, then we have a problem.

No. For women in their 20s dating men in their 40s or 50s, the society thinks thier sugar daddies.
And Tickme, why do you seem to hate being black so much?

I hope so, I've always been attracted to older guys (what girl isn't), but not that much older, I'm 21 and I draw the line at 33 or so.

Obviously it depends on how old you are. If you're 25, it might raise a few eyebrows but not much more.
If you're 14, however, that's a serious problem!
