I'm 20, and I wouldn't go for a girl below 16. However, my girlfriend is 22 which is perfect because I wouldn't go for any girl above 22 and she won't go for a guy below 20 
I'm 20 and I wouldn't feel comfortable going below 18. Unless they were really something amazing and even then...on the other side I don't have any qualms with 30+ year olds but normally it's around my age, 18-24. Mostly slightly under because of who I'm in contact with.
I see noproblem with any age discrepancy really. My sister is dating a man over twice her age and I'd date someone half mine (or possibly twice mine) if said person shared enough interestes and was genuinely "loveable" (with everything that entails) enough.
The one big probem with dating outside your own "age" is that you lack a LOT of common ground and LOT of experiences that may turn into a problem for you and your partner.
Consider this:
Thinking back five years in your life, were you as wise, smart, understanding etc. as you are now? Wouldn't you say that you've changed (mentally at least) for the better in the last five years? If you answer yes to this, imagine dating someone who is 10+ years older/younger than you. There is a wealth of understanding, knowledge and general emotional maturity that the older person has on the younger one, plus there is a generational gap in upbringing and culture so the chances of you being a good fit for your partner lessen the more years you have between you.
But in the end, just go with what feel right at the moment. Nobodys stopping you, just don't be surrised if it doesn't work out the way you planned it

Not really sure, as I usually seem to end up seeing older women. The last women I was with was ten years older than me (32). My housemate whose 24 was/is seeing an 18, who is still in High-school. Oh boy have we given him shit about it. "Woah what are you doing here, isn't it a school night?" The best moment was when she road up to the house on a skateboard, with a cap on backwards in her catholic school girl outfit, we almost lost our shit.
I'm 41. Personally, I'd think anyone below 30 is probably too young for me. We'd be doing just fine and then I'd get a question like "who are the Eagles" and I'd be all "jesus christ, where's my fucking geritol?"
I think there's kind of an inverse curve on this, though. When I was 20, I would have thought nothing of being in a relationship with a 40+ year old (and was in a couple, actually). "Hey man, age is just a number!" The older you get, the harder that is to justify IMO.

I'm a 19 year old guy and I honestly get weirded out by anything lower than 17, and even then that's pushing it in my opinion. For dating older? sure if they were interesting etc. I can't really see myself dating anyone over 22...although that might just relate to the fact that I think that no girl above that age would actually be looking for a relationship with a 19 year old haha
AT my age, 16, two years either way up till about 18, after that three years, once both over 25, go nuts... but don't complain if they are dead tomorrow from drinking too much prune juice.
I turned 16 this year, and my girlfriend is turning 16 this year, same grade so I know We are safe

Well I started with women when I was 12.
Lost my virginity to a 16 year old and never .. EVER .. been with a women younger than me. Older women all the way.
The only problem with that now is if me and my wife were to split, the only place I could possibly get a date is in a Bingo hall.
Now, I have 4 daughters. One of them is 18, her fella is 19. We haven't met him because she's scared i'll frighten him off .... and she's right.
My other daughters range from 7 to 13 and if any of them come home with a bloke a lot older than them or I found out that a bloke a lot older than them had been hanging around them then violence would ensue.
For example. An 18 year old lad around my 13 year old daughter = broken face for 18 year old lad.

Pretty much this, and the explanation is simple really.Ionait said:
It's about life experience. Somewhere past 18 everyone is considered adult and skilled at life issues and capable of making choices. AND most importantly, see the consequences in conjuncture with socially acceptable morals and laws.
Someone with the age of 12 isn't considered as wise as an 18year old.
half of your age plus 7 years. it works.
is that an american quote? because ive never heard it.William Ossiss said:
