    Yes if they have really great chemistry. I dont think age matters as long as the person cares about you and treats you right. My mother always says as long as the guy treats me right she doesnt care how old he is.

    Really, no....no more than a 39-year-old woman should be dating a 21-year-old man.

    There's a enormous gap in maturity levels here. Most men of that age range are settled down and having families; a 21-year-old of either gender is probably in college and still a long ways from discovering who they are and what they want from life.

    I would personally discourage this.

    WHAT would they have in common???? Lot of living is done between 21 and 39.

    But to each their own.

    no, bad idea. when the 39 year old was 17, the 21 year old wasnt even born. its just a little wierd.

    I think that it would be ok to date each other. You are both adults and most likely know what you are doing and if you trust each other. Age differences are only a factor if you are young and dont know any better, so in this case i think it would be just fine!!

    if both feel attracted to each other why not? rels with such age difference sometimes are the most delicious rels. 39 is still young.

    No, I always feel there is something weird when a guy or girl doesn't stay in a 5 year range. Your going to do what you want anyhow, right.

    only if the 39 year old is too lame or dysfunctional to find or interest a woman his own age.

    I think it depends on how the couples feel. if they are really ment to be together it will work out. So I would try it out even if it is a little weird at first.

    Well legally there is no question why you shouldn't. But there is a whole generation of difference in your maturity levels and although it will be great initially......prepare for relationship destruction, cuz it will only be a matter of time.........
