I agree that there is a squick line for everyone re older-younger relationships. I just don't see how 10 years is a big deal. Hell, even if it's a 30 year difference, I don't really care and don't particularly think it's a de facto mommy or daddy issue for the younger or perv issue for the older. If they are both into it, why should it bother you?

Its more of a sniff test than a bright line to borrow from law school. Like, one of the guys I was out with the night I got dosed at the SKy bar- he was into his 18 yo phase bc they had better bodies (I asked) and he was like 29 or so. That squicked. A 36 yo guy and a 27 yo girl would not really squick me, but it would raise questions if she seemed exclusivley into guys at least a decade older. I am thinking os someone in particular and she is alienated from her dad.
it isnt always a pervo or looking for daddy thing by any means, but sometimes it is. you cant say it never is. an ex of mine dated a woman almost a decade older (she was in forties) and I always didnt understand how he could find her physically appealing when he could go much younger without hitting jailbait territory. I always wondered if it had something to do with the fact that his mom died when he was six. Of course, it might have been that she owned a house and offered stability to an unstable guy, but how different is that really? Or it might have just been plain old attraction. I think she ultimately decided he was too young for her.
