Heck I'm wondering if a middle aged man can date a 24 year old?

Maybe she just wants to get down and dirty with an old man with no strings attached?

I knew that word “predatory” would get a reaction from someone. What if it were a severely mentally handicapped 30 year old? Could it be perceived as predatory then? If there’s a clear rift in mental and emotional maturity, it’s predatory in the sense that you’re taking advantage of them and it’s your responsibility to know better. Don’t abuse power dynamics. That’s just part of being a decent human being.
Besides, not everyone forms their opinions based on the letter of the law, and it’s unrealistic not to consider what others might think. They won’t be able to call you a sex offender, sure, or a pervert, but many will consider it “questionable.”
For the record, I think he should totally consider it, but realize that some 20 year olds are still big kids.
Still get the Big Kid’s Meal at Burger King and everything.
It's funny that 'progressives' now think a man and a woman both in their twenties dating each other can be 'predatory' on the part of the male because of age, yet they would never consider anything wrong with a white female dating a black man, even though by just about any statistical measure going, black males are the most underprivilaged group in society. Hell, would any of you call out Madonna - one of the richest and I guess 'powerful' women in the world - for dating young black studs at the age of 50?
How do you know what "progressives" think about this topic? Are there polls available that support your theories?
I dated a 20 year old when I was 29.
We've been married 13 years.
The question is why would you want to date a 20 year old? Women aren’t mentally mature at that age, some don’t even physically mature until their early/mid 20s. The majority of women that age still spend all day documenting every starbucks coffeee they drink on snapchat, travel using their parents money, know nothing about how to budget or function as an adult and probably smoke and drink every weekend.
I'd smash it. There are very few reasons to deal with any chick older than 25. Who wants some dried up old sea hag with a bad attitude? Every year there will be a new crop of 20 year olds.

'Don’t abuse power dynamics. That’s just part of being a decent human being.'
Lol, there is ZERO chance that your are older than 32. Sorry, millennials have lost their vote on what makes a decent human being.
'abusing power dynamics'? Giving something a term doesn't make it so.
Bosses sleeping with their secretaries are abusing power dynamics.
A 29 year old dating a 20 year old is just life playing out and has absolutely nothing to do with being a decent human being. Zero.
Emotionally immature people are only allowed to date other emotionally immature people? Thanks for making up the imaginary the rules of the world. I'm sure your medal is in the mail.
I’m not a “progressive,” I’m ANDY.
The entire thread is about making up the imaginary rules of the world. The OP asked for our thoughts for a reason.
You seem incapable of seeing things in a non-binary way—black or white, right or wrong. That’s likely why you’re quick to break out “progressives” and “millennials” too—you have to categorize people into big, basic groups. I don’t think you’re much of a thinker.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think “it’s wrong for a 29 year old to date a 20 year old.” I never said so. Don’t care to reiterate my point to a dunce, though.
A 20-year-old girl is to young for me to be interested, and a 20-year-old boy is too old for me to be interested in. Either way, I'd have to turn them down.
cultivate a friendship. You'll know what's right in time. Good for you that you are making a connection. Don't worry about it for now.

Jesus Christ, America, wake the fk up. You are going insane.
So a 29 year old dating a 20 year old is now considered 'predatory'? News flash, most of your parents would never have been born with that thinking.
That girl could have served two tours in 'Nam by now, I think we can let her make her own decisions.
well, except for the ones involving abortion.
Fax some some wrinkled balled State Senators to decide that. Otherwise, a 20 year old is an adult.
Direct abortion is predatory, though nobody (that I'm aware of) eats the embryo or fetus. But keep 'em coming my way ;)

lol, if you don't want to be categorized into a big, basic group don't act so big and basic. I categorized you into a herd because you are exhibiting herd behavior. Moooooo. I noticed you didn't deny being a millennial.
If I knew your age and then used that to infer your behavior then that would be one thing but it's a bit odd to be upset when it's your own behavior that accurately categorized you. If you don't want to categorized as a baseball player, maybe lay off the going out into a field with bat and glove and swinging at baseballs bit.
But maybe I should lay off on using logic. Wouldn't want to abuse the power dynamics.

It’s so strange that you think I’d be ashamed to be born in 1992. You caught me!
https://m.facebook.com/andy.i.marshall?ref=bookmarksThere, you can stop speculating on my demographics. I don’t care.
You’re a talented, hardworking troll. We’re all impressed—that “moooo,” dude?—killer.
I never implied you were ashamed of your generational grouping. I just thought it funny that you resented being called a millennial when your behavior so clearly identified you as such. Hate to break to you but probably either going to have to learn to embrace the label.
When you say things like "don't abuse power dynamics" when referring to people in the 20's just trying to go on a date, it’s unrealistic not to consider what others might think. They won’t be able to call you a sex offender, sure, or a pervert, but many will consider it “millennial.”
WWJSD?
Is she an old soul?
I honestly think that anyone who has a problem with two consenting ADULTS (18+), regardless of age, is an angry and bitter individual deep down. Jealously is a real thing.
