Dirty Old Men

How much older does a guy have to be to be considered a "dirty old man"? I was at a party once, and a guy I know, who must be close to 40, was hitting on a girl who was probably 25 or 26. I've always considered him a little on the creepy side, and his constant hitting (especially on women under 30) just seems wrong at his age. Is he old enough to be an "old man"?

If he constantly makes an effort to hit on women that are young enough to be his daughters, then yes, he's creepy.

When I was 23 I dated Hanson, who was 38 at that time. There was nothing creepy about it -- he was a wonderful guy that I loved being with.

It shouldn't be up to society to determine who's "old" and who's not. It should be up to the person being hit on.
