This is only the second IIN question I couldn't vote on. I think as long as someone is a legal adult it's no one else's business how old her/his partner is--so long as the partner is also a legal adult. At 18 I became responsible for my own health care, and my school sent my parents a letter that my records will remain private unless I share them. So I enjoy all these privileges of autonomy because I'm an "adult" now, but I should care what other people think about the person I'm dating? No fraggin' way.
Just because our culture tells people there are age limits on who we should date (so it's not frequent to see someone in her 20s with someone in his 60s) doesn't mean large age differences in relationships are at all harmful. There's already too little love in this world. If you find another adult of any age to love and love you back, rock it!
IIN to date a man old enough to be your dad?
