Are you for or against age gap relationships?

If you do support them, what's the youngest adult age that you'll date? If your answer is no, what are your reasons?
 
In regards to myself? I don't know. I'm 29. If I were single, would I date someone 20 years older than me? Probably not. Would I date someone who is 18? No. I'm not sure what would be the right window for that. Maybe within 10 years? I could see myself being with someone in their twenties or thirties, but I could not see myself being with someone in their forties or still in their teens (18-19 age of course).

When it comes to other people, it's difficult to not be judgmental. It's best that we all mind our own business, but it's questionable behavior when you see older people (especially wealthy ones) who are with people younger than their own children. I mean, the 27 year old White House Press Secretary is married to a 59 year old man. 32 year age gap. I don't know, but that's icky to me.
 
The youngest I dated was 10 years, when I was 35 and she was 25 and that's only because she was into older men and we hit it off at the time. It may be questionable or disgusting to some, but if a 50 year old and a 30 year old hit it off and the younger person genuinely likes the older partner, I feel like that's all that should matter.
