And for my obligatory troll-ish post:
When in doubt about age, just ask yourself, WWFD?
What Would Fritzl Do?

Incorrect. I first heard it from my girlfriend. She doesn't read XKCD. I'm the only person she knows who does.ravensheart18 said:
She heard it from her mum, who is equally disassociated from XKCD, webcomics and internet culture in general.
It's a real thing, people actually use it; and have done for longer than that comic's been around I'd wager.
I've found my range getting wider. When I was a teenager I wasn't interested in anyone under 30 or so. The first guy I got physical with was 36 at the time. Then I kind of expanded it down to 25 when I turned 25 myself, not suddenly but gradually, but 25 is pretty much when I started considering guys who were only my age, and now I'm finding myself sometimes considering guys who are even younger than me (although that's pretty rare).
The maximum has remained constant at 35-40 though, but I expect it to grow too as I get older.
Anyways, I don't think there is a hard set rule about too young or too old. I would have been pretty annoyed when I was younger if people I was interested in kept turning me down because I was younger than their age divided by two plus seven. That would pretty much have meant dating none of the guys I have been with except for my current partner.

The formula is a little tough on older women isn't it?
And younger women.
I tend to go out with the woman I care for, and that cares for me. Sod age.

I'm 19, I generally prefer girls my own age I'd only really go as young as an 18 year old.
Although it will probably stay 18 until I'm nearly 50 lol.

17, dating 17. Can't really help ya, sorry D:
Generally anyone over 18 dating under 18 is unacceptable, if you ask other people. Though if two people really like each other I don't see why an 18 year old can't date a 15 year old...

Anybody over 18 has no business being with anybody under 16. I mean, really...if you have to say to your friends, "Sorry guys, I gotta go pick my girl up from school", don't you think there's something very wrong with that?
I speak as an Englishman in England, by the way. School ends at 16. I can understand the younger girls having an attraction to older guys - well, that car, that freedom, it's an attractive package. However, at what stage does it become socially acceptable for a 21-year old to be dating a 15 year old? In the real-life example I know, he's 23. She's 15. What the hell?
I also had a similar feeling of shame and 'what the fuck' when a colleague introduced me to his friends....he's 33. They were high-school emo kids. I felt very awkward being introduced by a guy fourteen years older than me to kids four years younger than me. AND being told about their drinking habits all the way down.

"age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!" - wish I could remember who said that.
But yeah it's probably good to stick with the standard creepines rule (don't below date half your age plus seven).

I was twelve when I first dated... and it was probably my healthiest relationship in hindsight. It really depends on the person (or rather, both people of the couple) 'cos some deal with it well, others don't... to be fair, though, I think I grew up emotionally a little too fast for my own good in my early teens.David Farnell said:
OT: Being 25: 20-28-ish... but if I encounter an 18yo girl who matches my personality, is willing to indulge my interests, moods and stoicism, then I'd go for it.
I'm 21 and I don't think I would mind if I had a GF who was 17, or maybe that's too young for me now, maybe I'll change my mind and move it up to 18.
