When you both become adults, age becomes irrelivant. Society likes to lay guilt trips on people to bring them into conformity with societys rules. Screw 'em if they don't like it (but only the ladies
 )

Quoted: What is yours with your partner and what is acceptable? I'm 34,she's 21. I think personal level of maturity has the most to do with it.I'm very juvenile and she's quite mature,but then again most Europeans do tend to be so compared to Americans. Of course,none of my male friends have any kind of an issue with it but some of my female friends in their 40's act as if I'm sneaking into their daughter's bedroom. FWIW,I can see some merit in the age/2 + 7 but certainly don't think it should be held up as THE standard and absolute. The difference to me, is a matter of duration. You're on the same page now apparently, but she's barely out of her youth. Will she be the same person at 30 as she was at 21? Have the same attractions? Likely not. You're sorted out, she's still in the young arc of her life. For a fling, probably fine. For a long term deal, it's a stretch. Some will tell me I'm wrong, but that's ok. My reasoning is based on the general and not an exception. |

I was 18 (just turned 18 a couple weeks before) and he was 26 when we met, 19 and 27 when we got married, and 30 and 38 now.
We met online in a chat. |

Sneaky way to brag about your young foreign hotty lol. But congrats! People with children tend to have a different view point than people that dont. I am 37 with no children. So I am in no way reminded of my daughter when I see a hot legal age female! |

Last girlfriend was 26, I was 38. It was fun at first but I couldn't keep up with her and we came from two different generations. I felt like I was babysitting when I was with her friends.
Current girlfriend is 42 and I am now 42, she is 92 days younger than me. We have been together for over three years now and still going strong and have much more common interests and life experiences. |

I think there is a formula for this. Your age / 2 + 7. At least that's what I read somewhere. Looks like I should have read the entire first post. I wouldn't let a couple of years either way mess me up.

21 is old enough. 18 would be the answer except you get in trouble when you buy them drinks.
Ignore the opinions of your female friends in their 40s. They're just jealous. |

Many advantages and disadvantages. One thing that surprised me? The different expectations that appear to be linked to our very different experiences growing up. In other words, being from different generations. I doubt you will even notice if they exist unless you get married and have kids. But I am willing to bet they exist, even in your situation. |

I think that the generational difference is to a large extent made moot,or at least diverted,from her coming from an eastern European culture. Having not eaten the same food,listened to the same music etc is probably a bigger difference than having watched Seinfeld air originally or in syndication.Actually,we do listen to the same music,watch the same movies and shows and generally have the same interests.I think my ADD keeps me young as well
Complaining about ice in drinks and me using the air conditioner is more of a daily issue than well,today was hot so anything actually.
I don't want to be "like that" but as for breaking my heart and both moving on to other things? Sure,that's absolutely a possibility now or 5 or 15 years from now.I don't have any answers for that.It's not that I don't agree with or think that the idea of life-long monogamy is a great thing,but I'm a realist. |

I'll repeat my assertion that the difference is more to do with normal human development than culture or personality. People aren't done growing up at 21. Just the way it is, and her life isn't really formed yet in all likelihood. If you're good together, and can roll with the changes that will happen as she grows up (even mature acting 21 year olds are not grown up), might work out. But, you had better be ready for the reality that she may find that in 5 years or 10 years she's wanting different things in life than she wants right now. |

Had to laugh at the description of the ice in drinks thing. My wife is Eastern European, also. But she is very attached to airconditioning. |

Age isn't as important as a solid conection. Something to keep you interested. Last year a this time I was seeing a 21year old and I was 32. It was fun at first but after a while I got bored. We are still very good friends and it was a hell of a lot of fun but it wasn't meant to be. Would I do it again..................you bet your ass I would.
