I am striking out all over with people with whom I would be considered "age appropriate." No offense to anyone on here, but the pickings recently have been old and stodgy. Sorry folks, I don't drive a Buick and am not tucked into bed by 9 PM.
So the question of the day is how young is too young? I am thinking there is no reason I cant consider someone over 40. Not looking at people my kid's age.
Always happy to hear from someone more age appropriate, but they aren't knocking on the door anymore.

If someone is young enough to have gone to school with my oldest child, that is too young for me.

In Ohio, 16 is the consensual age, so technically anything 16 and above is LEGAL, now I wouldn't say it is APPROPRIATE, however.
One of my Security Officers was over 18 and dating 17 year old, so being that Security Officers are not allowed to have charges against them or they lose their State license, I had to review these laws to make sure he wasn't in any immediate danger of going to prison.
A few pointers for your situation:
1. Try making your profile visible. Hard to knock on a door that is not visible to the naked eye
2. If you are looking at the range above 40, you will need some "old school" values to attract these women. "Old School" dates and some very intellectual conversation goes pretty far with these women, because they have seen and done quite a bit with their lives(usually).
3. Make sure to dress the part. Women, just like men, do appreciate a man that is clean cut and proper. The over 40 crowd is usually not focused on dating so much, and they have already learned to avoid the "bad boy" and "male slut" types.
4. Watch for your own age, here. I haven't met many 40+ that enjoy the idea of being a "cougar", but there are some out there and they are usually pretty damn hot for being older.

It depends on what you are looking for.
if its just casual...then legal is the main concern I suppose with many people...including women.
If its for a serious life partner, then you have to be realistic, what age will she be, in ten years when you about 75 ??? how will you likely be then, how will she be...and will that effect things in a bad way?

Dude, if your striking out with women near your age, it should be that much tougher with younger ones....ya think?
Maybe, you need to find out why your striking out and fix that...instead of adjusting the age deal.

This. And what enigma said also, about making your profile visible & clean cut look. Dirty look might be appealing in a young man, but not on someone 60+
Now,OP, I do not know you and as usual it always depends from the person involved. Something which may apply to me doesn't mean it applies to others. But as a woman of 40+ more than 10 yrs. difference it is a bit too much for me. I may have been okay with 15-20 yrs difference in my 20s or 30s (there is always a great appeal towards more mature men at that age), but not at this age anymore.

The main thing I see wrong with the question is, that legaleye thinks he has to ask it. That means he isn't actually attracted to the people he is talking about, as people, and is only trying to change his targets for the sake of a numbers game.
It's the same thing as if I were to say "since I haven't had any luck so far looking for a woman I like, I should start looking for one I don't like."

I think it all depends on how well someone has aged. Someone over 40 has enough life experience to make a choice. Question is..can you attrack women in their 40's?

A dude getting with a woman in her 40's and being near 65 is nuts.
There is no possible realistic future in it.
Not a real one, with love and monogamy.
So...a smart man who is realistic, wouldn't even consider it.
Attracting a woman that age wouldn't be that hard either....but they aren't going to fall from the tree's.
There are younger women who can't find a real guy their age, that they can respect as a person and have what they are looking for.
Just a couple of years ago, I had a few send emails who were legit, and not seeking a caretaker....tell me this exact same thing an they had interest of me...back when it was a better forum and I posted better...and they were in their 20's.
and I told them politely, that there is no possible real future in it, and why.

I think once you become a certain age, an age difference doesn't really matter. I think it's more a matter of if you're in the same place in life, or you're willing to be in the same place in life, if you aren't already.
Using me as an example, when I was ready to date again, I had a small child. Most men in my age group had already raised their kids and were not interested in starting over again with more kids. We just weren't in the same place and it was totally understandable that a man my age wanted to start the next chapter in life.
But if she'd been an adult, too, and out on her own, or if I didn't have any children, it'd be quite possible we'd be in the same place even if we had a 20 year or so age difference. I think, too, that it is possible to blend the different point of references that happens when you have a big age difference. Just because one person is big into The Animals and the other is big into The Clash or Prince...or Boys II Men (wait, that one may be too big an age difference...) doesn't mean it can't work.

I'll answer that one.
There was a time, when even if it was just for sex, I stayed within my age group....but rarely would I just seek just that...but sometimes it just happened spontaneously..
These days...I look back and see missed opportunity..........so sure I'd consider it, but under my terms too...and there wouldn't be any bullshit lies either, I've never had to coerce before and I'm not starting now.
But, that wasn't the point of my post...I assumed the op meant for something real and I posted based on that.

I don't agree.
If he is 64, and gets with a 44 year old woman.....even if compatible, when he reaches that age where he really looks old and can't get it up, and lost interest, and just sits around....likely in ten years or so.
She will be just in her early 50's...still relatively young looking, sexually active and into doing more than sitting around all day....and women are visual too...and he looks really old now.
Now...if he doesn't mind her having her flings and feeling like a sugar daddy...it might work.
Other than that....lets get realistic here.
and the same goes in the gender reverse of this.

64 and can't get it up? Bee, you don't have much time if that's what you think will happen at that age.
We'll agree to disagree. I don't think a 20 year difference is a big deal if we're both mature adults. Wouldn't matter if I was 30 and he was 50, if I was 40 and he was 60, or if I was 60 and he was 80. If I love him and he loves me, we figure things out as a team.
Oh, and I'm quite sure that 74 year old men are still able and willing to have sex, too.

Nope...I was referring to ten years later when he is 74, not now at 64....that's 6 years away from 80 with a 53 year old????
And with your reference: you started out young where it doesn't matter as much, and evolved into it....the love built over years....the op is 64 now, starting this out now, is a whole nother story....and this was not an actual experience of yours, but a hypothetical situation....so you really don't know for sure.
Your talking a 20 year difference, with the op being 64, if he gets with a woman 44...that's a 30 year difference.
From who I've talked to over the years, only a very limited number of men at 75 are still able to get it up and have sex....most can't....sure they can give her oral...but is that enough over the long haul?
Women these days are different, most aren't like you, many have issues and make mountains out of molehill and bail at reasons less severe than the other suddenly seeming very old.
I say, if people start out young and evolve into this its possible....starting at his age? forget it.
Unless he doesn't mind her having flings with guys her age..

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do NOT pass "GO". Do NOT collect $200.
You should really consider watching what you say, before you do wind up in jail. Christ, I like joking inappropriately and all, but you aren't even humorous in your trolling. If I had daughters and you lived within 100 miles of me, I would make sure they carried a concealed gun at all times, and thankfully in VT, that can be done without a permit.

So, I could teach her how to NOT be a lazy, entitled man-hating Feminist that thinks the world owes her something, because she has tits and a vagina.
I could teach her how to be respectful, accountable, responsible, and make wise choices, and how to follow through on her choices, the way I was taught by my family.
In other words, she would be the exact opposite of you, and wouldn't suffer from PPS: Pampered Princess Syndrome

Trust me, had I had any duaghters, these men wouldn't need to be worried about me. My daughter would be taught what "self-respect" is, and the minute these men tried half the shit they get away with on women with no self-respect, she would know to f**k their world all up.
I would teach her all the things that I never knew as a child, and pray to God she actually listens.
These men would know to respect my daughter, and IF she couldn't handle them, well, I have a shovel, a gun, amd an airtight alibi

OP - As long as you stick with competent, consenting, adults, there will be no problem with the law.
From there on, you have to avoid problems with yourself, and your community. Maybe you can stand dating someone young enough to be your grand-daughter, but your friends / family may have problems with it.
Please yourself, and either please, or avoid, your friends / family / neighbors, etc.
Some folks like dating younger people, others enjoy dating older people, others don't let age bother them either way, and some are nuts about only dating in their own age group. Decide where you fit on that spectrum, and then look for someone who fits your criteria whose criteria you fit. If you want to date a 25 year old, find a 25 year old who wants to date you.
I have dated college gals 14 years younger than myself, and retired grannies 23 years older than myself, as well as women my own age. I haven't cared what others thought about it. You seem to be the type to care, though. So, date whom your friends think you should, if you wish to please them instead of yourself.
Or, worry less about age, and more about being compatible in the arenas of: music, movies, recreation, religion, politics, life goals, and investment goals. You can consider someone over 40, or under 40, as you wish.
Maybe your striking out has more to do with your attitudes, recreations, goals, etc, than with your age. If all you want to do on a day off, is sit and watch sports, but the women you meet want to hike, bike, swim, etc, you will strike out.

Actually I figured nobody would notice that I ran this in relationships and not dating. But anyway, family and friends are not an issue. Years ago I dated a young lady who was 17 years younger than me, 45/28 but she hadnt been an adult long enough to have what, "grown up" and there just werent enough years of experience as an adult to have a common background in historical reference.
But I started this thread for a couple reasons. One was the reason that was stated, which is getting some feedback on just how young is too young in terms of being able to have an actual relationship.
The second is to shake the trees a little bit and maybe some (none identified) nice lady will figure out that she might do a lot better in life if she started to think positive and have a young attitude. Its unfortunate, or maybe bad luck, that many people I meed are doing nothing more than hanging around waiting for the grim reaper. Sad but true.
As I have said in real life, someone prove me wrong up close and personal.

How young is too young?
I think it's a personal choice if you want to be with someone much younger. If you are comfortable sleeping with someone 20 years younger than you are, then that is fine. I've have met some 20 years old kids that are very very mature for their age, very responsible & successful at work & in school. Age is just a number. You have to look at each person individually & not lump them together as one group because they are young. Young people can be very mature & very responsible.
I've also met some 50 & 60 years old people that are very very immature with the mindset of a 10 year old little kid.
Trump is 70 years old, & Melania is only 45 years old. Trump is very comfortable with his wife being much younger than he is. The media has been very kind to trump & they are not making fun of their age difference. And she also pose nude for those girly magazine. She has the breast implants many many years ago before she even met trump according to her nude pictures.
Society is more accepting of a man being 20 or 30 years older than his wife. People would not think much about it.
But society is not very accepting of a woman being 20 years older than her husband. They would make fun of her or think that she is robbing the cradle. Or they will think the guy doesn't know what he is doing that's why he is with a that woman 20 years older than he is.
