I have "dated" younger than I (one year). I have gone out with a man 10 years older, but wouldn't be in relationship with someone 7 years older than I. There's a tremendous gap in years beyond that...our experience will be far different (as if there aren't enough things that need to be learned in a new relationship)...and then to have the years between us...it's just not good.
I think I may be stepping on some toes here when I say this, but it may be true to an extent. When you date someone 20 years older than yourself, are you looking for a mate or an authority figure? 
Let me know your thoughts on this.

My points aren't directed at any specific sista here, but I would like to know how all yall feel about these next points. Has anyone else noticed that it's generally accepted by women to date men much younger, but it's frowned upon today by our society when a non-celebrity man does it. He is often viewed upon as having something wrong with him. Suppose he encounters one of yall; and you offer him new ideas, and convince him to explore other things in life-instead of putting all of his time and attention to his job. He may find you intriguing. Is that wrong? Maybe yall just "have it like that" :-D; and he(like all of us) wants a "fresh perspective".
