Funny how the low end of the range tends to be right at the legal age of consent, huh?

This makes me wonder, though: do guys in their 30s, 40s, 50s actually get dates with 18-20 year old girls? The topic question is, after all, "what age range
do you date?", not "what age range
would you date?" And if the answer is "yes" - is it a sugar-daddy kind of relationship or more or less a standard one? It would be interesting to hear from people with such experiences (from either side).
I am 26, I have seemed to get more dates with younger women. 19-20ish by a slight majority. Maybe they are more open minded then older women here. I am a bit hesitent to be with 20 and younger though as I see them as immature, which I am child like but I am responsible also. standard ones but most were just dates, not to the gf/bf point. age of consent is 16 here, but the age difference is illegal for sex if one is under 18 and other is over, though the cops didn't do anything when a 23 year old started dating and sleeping with my underage niece.
I wouldn't go under 16 quite frankly 20 and under I feel uncomfortable, under 18 I would probably have anxiety and panic attacks. I wouldn't every kiss, or touch besides hand holding I guess. only way I would ever do it is if they approached me and their whole family was ok with it, and with hold all touching until they are 18-19ish. doesn't seem real practical relationship. I hope it doesn't seem pedo . it would have to be a really rare case, but i wouldn't 100% refuse love if it met all the requirements.
i mean look at it this way.
16 with a 22 year old is seen bad
20 with a 26 year old is seen as ok.
its the same age gap in fact couple A could wait til the 16 is 20 and it would be seen as acceptable.
same as
15 with a 17 good
17 with a 19 bad
so when the oldest in a on going couple turns 18 should they break up?
I think society is funny on this matter and yet I don't think 16 and 22 should date but a 20 and 26 is ok. I guess it should be more about the maturity of the people. there can be some super mature teenagers, I was one.
I don't attract underage women thank god, but i do seem to get along better with 18-20 year olds I imagine as I age i will get along with the same people as they age.
My friend's younger sister turns 18 in july, she is sweet, kind, open minded and silly. just the kind of woman i like, sadly she is 17 soon 18, I wouldn't likely allow it even if she asked me out, good thing shes on the other side of the states and pretty and thin. I ant the type for thin people. that said My friend seems to kinda want to hook us up. I think he likes the idea of one of his close friends becoming family, that and her past bf's(old as me or older and some her age) have been abusive and mean to her and he knows I'm a sweetie. I find it odd though and uncomfortable. I don't want someone trying to hook me up with an underage girl and then me getting in trouble. I don't get why parents would be ok with it either o.O
