For me it's not so much about age, but stage of life. A senior in high school is much more mature than a freshman, and that's a bit of my prob with it... then again, maybe in some cases it's just circumstances we don't understand. However, if the 18 is a guy in college (me, for example) and the 15 is a freshman or sophomore in high school, then I think it's downright wrong. There's something not cool about a college man prowling for high school girls. Only case I ever see that being ok is if they are two years apart and were together before the guy went off to college. I think at a certain point it changes... once both are into there 20's, age doesnt really become an issue uness you want a long term thing and the age difference could affect the kids. Other than that, both are adults, make your decision.
If any of you are thinking "he's only using older guy examples...." that's because I think that's the only case where it can be "wrong." An older woman isn't going to negatively affect a young guy, just make him excited and brag his whole life. I don't see too much of a problem with it aside from relationship problems... he can get attached, she might not be.
