Hypothetically, if a woman is 18 and is into older men. What age would be considered too old?

As a man who is 40...I dont date jailbait.

Most guys in their late 20s or older will feel the same.

Of course you will find a few in their mid 40s or older who are going through midlife crises who will be more than happy to date someone barely legal.

It depends on who you are. If i was your Dad I would say 19, but since Im not your dad and im 26 I would say 27.

But for the most part I think its about visually standing out. You don't want people to think you are dating your dad.

80 is definitely too old. Also 60. 40 is very iffy. 30 is pushing it. 25 is maybe ok.

Seriously though, there's not really a hypothetical answer to be given here. Depends on you ... depends on him. Though if Depends are on him, he's too old. Sorry, couldn't help it.

So basically a good age range would be from 19-27?

Im going to be honest, most guys over 21 wont date you. Once you hit 21 its a whole other story.

I couldn't date a girl I can't get in a bar.

My first ever bf was 26, I was 18. He was too old for me, but I did not know that, because when you're 18, you don't realize how much changes over the next 5 years or so.

The difference between an 18 year old and a 27 year old is probably about the same as the difference between an 18 year old and a 14 year old. If 14 is inconceivably too young for you, then probably 27 is way too old for you.

Unless you're really unusually mature, I think 19-23 or so is a better choice. Just my opinion though! You get to make your choices on these things, now that you're 18!

how old is too old? whatever age you feel is too old. You may not know the answer now, if you haven't dated a lot of older guys. I've been dating guys between the ages of 10-25 years older than me (I'm 36)... I was totally open to the 25 years older until I went out with a couple of men who were 25 years older... I can't say what it was... but it just felt too old so wouldn't do that again.
