Is it inappropriate for a 62 year old man to like a 22 year old girl?

Question

Keyboardkat · Accepted Answer

I can understand why a girl of 22 is attractive, even to a 62-year-old guy; after all, a man is a man. But come on, she's young enough to be your daughter! Her frame of reference is completely different from yours. Many events that were of major significance in your life occurred before she was born! You were already 40 when she was a little baby! Do you know how dating a girl that young makes you look? People will say you're a "dirty old man," and "robbing the cradle." You should be looking for a mature woman with whom you can have something in common, and who will not look at you as a substitute daddy. Don't you want that? Older women can have tremendous sex appeal of their own!

What @ofmiceandmen said. I believe in a certain amount of  freedom  to find, out of the box and norms, that makes me care very little for what is deemed inappropriate, but I'm not blind about  psychology at play . So, at the very least, I see  delusion . Worst case now, one of them is predatory. The 62yo could abuse vulnerabilities of youth, but the 22yo could be a predatory as well, if the 62yo is severely in  distress .

Nothing wrong with it, a 22 year old girl looks the same whether a guy is 60 or 22, but I wouldn't go higher than 40 myself, and my normal age is guys in their mid to late 20s. I know other girls have different age limits but I don't know any of my friends who would go as high as 60. I guess on Gilmore Girls.

It’s not illegal but I do think it’s morally wrong. I mean I can understand if an older man/woman find someone younger attractive - there’s nothing wrong with appreciating the beauty in youth but to be sexually attracted to them is just a bit off to me.

AviatorTom · Answer

Depends what you mean by "like". If he thinks she's a good worker, that's fine. If he fantasizes about her sexually, that's a bit too much.

Not inappropriate but it's a little weird. I mean they really have absolutely nothing in common so the predominant thing he's thinking about, is what she looks like in her little lace bra and panties which is just creepy.

Ladsin2 · Answer

I find the question strange. "Is it appropriate" is a weird question to me. Men of all ages find women 18-26 most attractive. That's just a matter of fact, so I presume it's appropriate. It may or may not be appropriate to act on that attraction due to circumstance.

At what age is in inappropriate to enjoy spring flowers? C'mon guys, get for real. A young woman is nature's work of art no matter how old you are, and don't act like you don't know it's true.

I don't know about inappropriate. But what are the odds she's interested in him? Not very likely. And unless it's mutual what is the point? Secondly with that large of an age gap what would they possibly have in common.

I don't think there's anything wrong with a friendship between the two. She can learn from him and he can keep youthful vigor. But I wouldn't think anything beyond that. It's very unlikely.

It isn't illegal but it is defo weird especially if he has grown kids that are older then 22. That is why sugar daddies are always cringe and creepy 🤮

hanabunny · Answer

Well it's not wrong for him to be attracted to her in my opinion, but if he were to pursue and actual relationship with her I would find it strange

Alchemizt · Answer

Since a 22 year old girl is not a child, can't say it's wrong. But there's something off about an old man being sexually attracted to a very young girl. Especially if that person has children who are same age as her or older than her.

Breanna_nonbinary · Answer

Youth is a universal attractant across all culture. It’s part of our human nature to be attracted to youth. It’s biological and a survival instinct.

WriteOn · Answer

Take the age, divide it by 2. Add 7 years. That number is supposed to be the "rule".  :)

RavVid · Answer

It depends on what we mean by like. Does that mean doing something about it? I think inappropriate in that case.

4ngelic · Answer

being attracted to 22yo girls isn't pedo shit exactly but going for one at 62 umm...

genericname85 · Answer

No matter how old you are. Young, fertile women will never stop being sexually attractive to you. That's normal. That's how biology works

It's a little weird, but not the worst thing in the world

If it is mutual and you are both single adults, it is no one else's business.

You’re not a bad person. Yet. But approaching her wouldn’t be good.
