Do you think its ageist if a 18yo girl won't date a guy 10 years older than her?

No, it's wise. Guys in their late 20's who hit on teenagers are usually bad news -- often immature for their age. Three times I've seen young women marry men in their late 20's and it never turned out well. The woman had a baby, and then realized that she actually had two babies.

Concepts like "ageism" don't apply to dating. People are free to date or not date anyone for any reason.

ageist yes but discrimination of all sorts is allowed in dating including racism, heightism, lookism etc.

It’s actually more “ageist” when a man picks a woman of age that fits his maturity level, aka a 28 year old man has to be one immature pathetic dude to date a girl that just exited high school.

So you're 28. Would you date a 95 yr old woman? Is that ageist?

[kylee2437]

He won’t even date his own age, so there you have it.

Pretty much. However, you can't just say someone should date someone simply because they're older. That's not right

Nope. Not one bit. She's choosing a date.

If that’s her preference that’s her preference.
