I don’t really trip about age gaps between 20s and 50s. I just question if bigger age gaps are built for the long haul.
If you’re 25 and banging around with someone 20 years older, or 45 and vice versa…. everyone’s an adult here, I’m not going to trip about that. Might be too much for some, could be fine for others, that’s up to the two people in question.
The biggest thing is that I think you need to be elderly together, at the same time. Our middle years as adults are whatever, and I view age as a much blurrier concept. But you don’t want to be just hitting 60 and your partner is 80. I think that’s where the wheels can fall off.

No. Not really. A large age gap isn’t that weird anymore, particularly younger female/older male. The reverse is less common but I don’t think it’s a taboo at all. Find love & happiness however you can.
Nothing wrong with it. Age gaps are irrelevant. If it works, then fine.
Not at all, I dated someone 46 yo a few months ago.

Not strange at all. If you really care about societal norms and what others think, then this is a good guideline to follow.
It's a little weird, but definitely not unethical. You're both fully-developed, grown adults, so dating is fine.
It's also fine for you two to work at DTE Energy Home together.
It's not uncommon. After 21 it's not like there are any significant milestones which would limit what you can do related to your age.
rare but not weird or unethical. even 44 to 20, age of his daughter, but not his daughter so seems fine. and a compliment for guy.
as long as both parties are fine with it, who cares?
Their happiness is more important than what we think about it.No, it's not. Date whoever you like. I know a very happy couple with a 20-year age gap.
they r both adults n old enough so ig its fine
Nope. Perfectly common. Ordinary. Boring. Mundane. Usual. Average.
Its fine but I don't think it will last because of the age difference
Not at all. What others think doesn’t matter
It's a little weird. But it's nothing horrible. I'd be more concerned with the why?
Awkward 😆surly a 28 year old girl can do bit better
Not if he's got money.
Not weird, just unusual.
Not at all, the man should always be older.

Nope. Not at all
