I think age gaps are fine. Say someone who is 25, dating someone who is 18. They both understand sex and pregnancy.
My issue comes when pedophiles try to justify being with someone who is 13, because they see adults with 10 year age gaps.

I think it depends on how old you are.
10-20 +-3 years
20-25 +-4 years
25-30 +-7 years
30+ +-12 years

Eh I dated a 13 year old this year (I'm 16) and I broke up with her because I felt too sleazy. The supposed "rule" is you can go as low as (your age)/2 + 7

[[your age] / 2] + 7 = lowest age that’s typically reasonable to date/fuck/etc

I think it's highly dependant on the person, but I think 24 is my limit. Judging by interactions in the past few years with low 20s females. They are flakey and still lack a seriousness about life choices. I wouldn't expect a relationship with anyone under 22 to be lasting.
However, that's an ideal world. I am very lonely. I would probably go as low as 18 and out of high school. Because I am ever so lonely.
I mean, I find them attractive. That's all you really need.

Hmm...I'm a 17 year old female and I don't mind dating guys up to 9 years older than me. I guess 2 digits seems kind of.. :O It's really hard to generalize these kinds of things since there's so many factors to consider.

When my friend turned 18 she went on a "date" with her gymnastics coach.
She had the mindset "well I'm an adult now, I can date other adults."
She thinks differently now. Apparently, 18 year old women are extremely east to manipulate. That information should prove useful to me someday.

Yea, she seemed to think differently about dating much older men at that age after getting older and looking back on how different 18 year olds are from 25 year olds.
There is a huge difference in maturity in general, and that isn't saying that 18 year olds are immature (though many are) it's just perspectives on life. Obviously, he was only interested in her because she was young and he wanted to fuck her.
She also looks much younger than she is. When I first met her, I thought she was like 18-19. She was 26. The guy was a creep.
He also called her up a few months later at night drunk and was like "(name redacted) you, you do take it in the ass, don't you?"
The guy tried to kiss her after the date as well but she was all like "haha, gotta go."
Seriously though, I would feel creepy dating an 18 year old. Me. I'm 29 though. At 25 I would have thought it was creepy but I still would have done it.
22 and under I don't think is a big deal at all. Pretty much similar stages in life. Transitioning from one thing to the next.

That's a tough one. In my opinion, the situation is always different. Though that is nearly pushing it...
I particularly don't like it when I hear young girls making it a rule to not date younger than them because older guys are "more mature" than their age group. Why would a mature older man want to date an adolescent? Other than for pooty tang.

Well I guess it works in a cycle. If a woman were to choose between a mature man and a man more mature than him, I guess she'd go for the more mature man.

18 to <25 can date, 17 to <23, 16 to <21, anything less, I'd say a 2 year age gap would be maximum.

It doesn't work with ages that young, because at those ages you're too young to date anyway. 13 year old "dating" isn't really dating anyway. One of the moms takes them to the movie theater in the minivan, they hold hands, and they're home before 10. They might make out, but before age 13 that's kinda gross.
Anyway, starting at age 14, the Age/2 + 7 rules seems to work incredibly well.

It all depends on the area. That was pretty accurate for me when I was that age, but today, 12 year olds claim to have been laid, in love and seriously considering children.

It might have seemed normal at that age, because you wanted it more than anything, but watch two 6th graders make out now that you're older and tell me that it doesn't look messed up. They don't know what the fuck they're doing or what the fuck they're thinking. I firmly believe that until you're at least a freshman in high school, there's no such thing as a real relationship.
@64,496 (Unintentional Jackass !LASXURl1b6)
That's because they're retarded. No, really, their brains haven't developed to a point yet where they fully understand the magnitude of something like having kids, especially having kids at age 12. I know 30 years olds who didn't understand the magnitude of having kids until they actually did.

Because if you're a teenager and you don't even have a car to drive places, and actually go on dates. If your parents have to drive you places and/or babysit you on your dates, that's a joke. You're kids hanging out. You're not really dating. And it's stupid to think that a 13 year old is mature enough for a real relationship. It might become more serious as they get older and more emotionally mature, but at that age "dating" is a joke.

No, you're a moron if you think a 13 year old is emotionally mature enough for a real relationship. They can like each other and hang out and all that shit, but it's not dating, it's not a real relationship, and it's not love. The few 13 year olds who are very mature for their age is mature enough to understand this.
