To make it more specific, let’s say 2 or 3 years younger. How weird is it if I’m a guy and I’m 20? How about 15? How about 25? Just curious to what you all think. ---

I admit that I’ve never heard of that rule but it seems quite accurate. Dating someone younger really depends if we’re talking 22 and 17 or 29 and 22. The main problem might be that the two people are in two different stages of their live at the moment and might not share so many interests if the age gap is to large. He might enjoy an opera or [theater arts](http://alum.hampshire.edu/%7Eiwf06/theater.html) in general and she is just interested in going out and partying all night long. I always try to meet women who are either my age -/+ 3 years but that’s just my personal opinion. ---

^It doesn’t always work. Especially when you’re 25 and seeing a lady who’s 40. :p: (Not currently, mind you. Craigslist ftw.) ---

Generally speaking, theres a gigantic leap of maturity between High school and college. things seem to change ALOT in personality between 20 and 25. some people have very little dynamic change while others change dramatically. persona isn’t always a static variable. ---
