I had always heard (as a rough guide) that the youngest you can date and be socially acceptable is something like "half your age, then add 7".
So, for a 27 year old, that would be: (27/2)+7 = 20.5. (Go ahead and drop the 0.5.) So, at 27, it's socially acceptable for you to date women as young as 20, if you buy in to the formula.
(And, interestingly, here's a brief article talking about age preferences for men and women compared to their own age, and how that formula works compared to the research. Neat.HAVE TO REMOVE LINK

I remember a girl who when she was about 20 married a man in his mid to late fifties. I think that article shows how narrow minded people are. What diference does age make if the girl is old enough to make up her mind and it is not an abusive relationship?

it would not be creepy for a 30 year old to date a 22 year-old, but an 18 year-old would be off-limits

Nonsense if the girl wanted to date him it is their business
