THAT is an excellent point. If my daughter started dating a man my age, it would creep me out.

I would be very unhappy about it. Since she is 26 there isn't much I could do, but I wouldn't like it.

Everyone is someone's daughter.

Exactly...... but it wasn't my job to raise them.

I personally think the ethical line is drawn as it is with any sexual partner. Is that person really savy enough to comprehend the nature of the relationship and consent to the activities involved? I don't legal consent, I do mean are they being taken advantage of because of the age difference or other issues. This issue isn't just relative to age in my opinion, I see people entering relationships all the time that are adults in their 30's that I don't believe really have the emotional ability to withstand someone with a strong personality and be healthy in that relationship, but yet, we don't see alot of whining about that like we do with age. Age is a number it is indicitive of nothing other than years lived. There are 19 year olds on these boards that have way more emotional maturity than some of the 30-40 year olds. Assuming that a vast age difference alone is "wrong" is akin to those that say striking a woman during sex is "wrong" in my opinion. It is all rather fact specific.

I remember when my son was a teen we were at our apartment pool and this neighbor who was older than me (45 or so) kept outrageously flirting with him. I wanted to kill her, literally.

But then you wouldn't be posting here and getting your freak on consensually.
