Am I seriously the only one that doesn't find it weird? (opinions welcome)

2

Okay, so my friends who are engaged were having a conversation about a girl they know who is 20 and just started dating a 26 year old. Talking about how they found it weird. Me being 26 had to put my input into this. I asked them why they thought that is so weird. It came down to them basically saying that its almost a generation apart and some of the time they don't have a clue about the things I remember as a kid. Another thing is they believe that people should only date within a 3 year gap of their age.

I have no problem with people having different opinions but when I'm being told that I'm weird because I would date girls 6 years younger than me it kind of bothers me.

Finding your love or soul mate is difficult enough, but finding one within 3 years of your own age seems almost impossible. Maybe I'm just more open-minded than most. For a while I was talking to a 38 year old which I had so much in common with. I let others opinions get to me and I stopped talking to her instead of seeing where it might of went.

So my question is How do you all feel about Age and dating 1-3 limit or 8 years and beyond? . As far as I see it love is love regardless of age or sexuality. If you think you're in love don't let age or anything else stand in your way. Obviously I'm not looking for girls under 18 but you get the point.

26-20 is not a generation. They need to look up the word. A generation is you, then your parents and then the next generation grandparents. Unless they have friends who are 26 that have a 20 year old kid. When you're in your early 20's it's normal to think these small gaps in age are huge. They will think differently when they are in their 30's and also when they are in their 40's. Nothing wrong with people having their own hard and fast rules to dating but in all honesty they should keep those rules to themselves. If they feel like limiting themselves that's fine. Not cool to shame your friends according to your own stupid rules. Each and every person is different, just as each and every situation is different. I have my own age rules but they are not written in stone. Too bad you missed out on that 38yr old girl, I had met a 32yr old when I was 19, it was worth it.
