Picking any age as the defining point of "Now you're an adult and can be trusted to make decisions for yourself" is largely pointless because people mature at different rates. When I was eighteen, I was a moron. I know someone who was running a household at fourteen without missing a beat. I also know a forty-two year old who shouldn't be allowed outside without supervision.

As a general rule, it's not a great idea for an eighteen year old to date a forty-something, but if we're looking at an actual real life couple? They could very easily be an exception to that rule depending on the individuals involved.

This. I have friends who are nearing 30 who make me wonder how they even survive in the wild because they are just SO BAD at being adults, and then there's my coworker who I thought was 27 or 28 until she told me she was actually 20. She's very poised and mature and has been living on her own since she was 18, so she comes across as being much older than she actually is. I wouldn't even bat an eye if she started dating someone older - in fact, I think that would probably be a better fit for her maturity-wise than most other people her age.
