She's gotta be young enough to be my daughter - 35% Normal
I am 47 years old and seem to only have long-term relationships with women young enough to be my daughter. Not that I mind by any means because, let's face it, a middle aged man who has dated mostly women young enough to be his daughter does not seem to be the norm in society, although it is not looked down upon nearly the same way it was 20 years ago, and many men are envious of me for this. But, then again, it is usually the ladies who start the flirting - at least I think so.
Anyway, I have had several relationships with women who are "within my age range," and we get along great, i.e. no real fighting, enjoy each other's company and so on, but those relationships don't last for more than a year and usually less than six months before we grow tired of each other, whereas many of the relationships I've enjoyed with younger women have lasted well over 3 years, and most of them have been open, polygamous relationships. Probably 75% of the longer-term relationships (2-5 yrs) I've had over the past 20 years have been with women/girls from 17 to 23.
What do you think? Is this normal, or am I just one lucky ol' dude?

Other people may judge you such as Americans as their legal age is 18-21 depending on the state.

Society doesn't tend to look at it positively, but if it did, pedophilia would be a bigger problem than it is now, so what can you do about it?
The main problem is that if you are dating say someone 25 years younger than you are at the age of 22, a 22 year-old wants different things in life compared to a 47 year-old. Even if two people are of the same age, if they want different things in life (eg. one is a family person and the other is a career person), there could be trouble coming their way.
The reality is that most twentysomething people want different things from people your age. You might want to start a family while she still wants to travel the world and explore new adventures. You know, things like that.
I would say you're not normal if you were dating females that were FAR too young to comprehend the results of their actions/feelings.
I assume you don't touch anyone under 16, right?
Don't listen to these people that say you are "sick" because I am a psychologist and I can tell you that your attraction is normal.
Don't cross the lines of the law though. In most places the youngest you can touch is 16. Don't go under that or you're asking for a life of hell with the law.
Morally, what you're doing is fine as long as you're not harming them or misleading them.
Imagine how those girls mothers must be feeling? You are 20 years older than them and that is wrong. I believe it to be pedophila especially if they are 17.
See someone about it.
