That's not my point. Would you let your daughter do it? I don't know a single respectable father that wouldn't walk up to someone like that and handle business. Since you stated it wasn't weird until recent times, I take it you're ok with it?

Widow was a fucking creep who used an online persona that involved using Christianity to make him better than all and would constantly quote it in a dick manner. Not even a few posts later he was lusting/harassing every girl on this forum. He was a comical hypocrite that was more than likely timid in real life. That's why you can't really blame him for the way he acted online, it was nothing but a fantasy.

I'd rather my daughter date a 60 yr old Nobel prize winner than a 20 yr old high school dropout.

Why does it have to be an extreme? Disregard nobel prize, regular 60 year old with candy in his front pocket of some stretchy pants.

You asked if I'd be OK with my daughter taking an older person, I explained it'd be fine.

Like whoever stated, the"weirdness" of age gaps in relationships (specifically older males younger females) is a very new phenomenon.

Yet in order for you to be ok with it, you included a "nobel prize" award winner, something that is a rarity. I'm asking, a random 60 year old man with 38 year old kids, would that be ok to date your 16-18 year old daughter?

If my daughter were an adult she can date whoever she wants.

That sentence basically means hell no I wouldn't approve of that shit but what am I gonna do? put a chastity belt on her?

How can you be ok with it but not approve of it at the same time? "of course" lol

Pretty easily. There's certain things you wouldn't want close family members to do, but you're cool with other people doing it. Nevertheless, I was raised in a society where young women dating older men was very strange, and I live in that society. There's a certain level of social awkwardness that comes with it, as well as the obvious difference between a 60 year old mind and a 20 year old mind.

Still, I won't criticize older men who have the ability to get young women. It doesn't necessarily mean that the man is screwed up or the woman is screwed up.
