OK, I have been attracted to (and dated) people as old as 25 years older than myself, and as much as 30 years younger. Currently, I'm under orders from my kids to only date guys older than my eldest, (28) and in the interest of having someone around to enjoy our old age together, I'm trying to stick with men who are slightly younger than I. But to answer the question, it is entirely possible to be physically attracted to anyone of legal age. It is, of course, legal to date anyone of legal age, regardless of difference in age, and it is not my place to place my morality on anyone else's choices. Nor is it anyone else's place to decide what is moral or right for me to do. However, they are welcome to think whatever they like. Having said that, I agree with the majority in that I want someone who has similar cultural references if I'm going to be in a long-term relationship. If I mention the crush I had on Greg Brady, I don't want to get a blank look. If the moon landing was ancient history when you were born, I'll pass. One other factor for me is this; if there is someone I am interested in, and they have not yet had children, I am very uncomfortable getting into a relationship with them. Eventually it can become an issue...no matter how many times they say they don't want kids. Anyway, enough rambling. Oh, and Zevar, I love your attitude, and here's hoping that you can find another special someone.
