Okay, just went to an event where the man sitting across from us who had to be over 50 was with a girl who didn't look a day over 18. Yuck!

Momof2inca- Definitely not. That was our first assumption till some activity put that option to rest.

Ive' also seen some eyepopping behavior between siblings of very strictly religious families who have pledged chastity- but their parents didn't blink.

Would you pledge your virginity to your father?: News: glamour.com

But maybe she just looked young for her age & he had money?
I used to look 14 till I was 30.

Even if she looked young for her age the gap was at the very least 30 yrs.I would say he has "money" and could have been closer to 60. She has skin that we can only dream about. At first we thought she didn't look a day over 16.

Probably not what was going on with who you saw, but funny:
A few years ago our neice came to town on a business trip with her first job. We figured out that we could pick her up at the airport, she could come have dinner with her cousins, swim, spend the night here, and H could drop her off at the conference on his way to work.
He didn't figure on being the bald 50 year old in the nice car with the leggy blond climbing out at 8AM at the convention center saying "Well thanks, it was so much fun!!!..." He says the valets gave him really dirty looks.

A 30-year gap is way too much. When I was 23, I dated a woman who was 43. I thought she was great, my mom didn't! LOL! Seriously, though, I always looked older than my age and she looked a lot young than her age, but even then, an age gap of 20 or 30 years is way too much if you ask me.

"how can I find a date now? All nice guys are already taken"

Taken doesn't mean permanently taken.

Yesterday, I was going through the old family photos and ran across a pic of myself at 19 with a boyfriend, and my 13yo says, "He looks 20 years older than you!" Uh, close. He was 11 years older than me (I didn't volunteer that). But I was 19 -- not the same at all as 16!! No more than two years' difference at 16.
