It sounds perfectly fine to me. She benefits from his financial stability and he enjoys her youth and beauty. So its sounds fair to me.

Me who are older tend to be sweeter than those of today. It's not because I had father issues, or because he spends money on me. Hes just a sweet person who actually makes me feel special. Nothing more, so no theres nothing wrong with it

 Firstly, I don't see it really lasting. I mean when he's 65 she'll be 40. It won't make much difference then but in the mean time "if" it lasts that long she'll be very curious enough to wonder obout other men. So no I don't see it lasting.
This says to me that theres other materilastic values that she may be getting from the relationship, a man who's more financially secure unlike the men in her current age group? Once the men in her own age grow enough to be more mature, have good incomes and look alot better, the fun will where off the older man. Its highly likley she'll jump ship.
But in answer to your question, no its not creepy. it just depends on what she wants out of the relationship. and how stron the bond really is.

 I wouldn't call it creepy, but if you can show me a female under 30 that genuinely loves a guy a couple of decades older than her, I'll find some hens teeth for you. Any female that young who goes for older men either has Daddy Issues, or the guy's spending loads of money on them, or both. That's why so many people think they look foolish together, kind of a living advertisement for the male mid-life crisis and the little girl looking for a new daddy. But, that doesn't mean the relationship wont work.

 Looking young doesn't erase the quarter-century age difference. Creepy? Not necessarily, but definitely suspect.

pinktopaz, what a difference one year makes lol
Fatherly Advice, I don't know what they would talk about. Personally I think their relationship would depend on whether they have a strong basic connection, they respect where the other is at, and admire how they handle their respective lives.

If the guy looks 27, then no. If he looks 28, then yes.
Depends on the person, some people would say that you'd be old enough to be her father and it's wrong while others would say that you're both adults so it's no big deal. I wouldn't go with creepy, but kind of wonder the same thing that FatherlyAdvice does. I mean when I was 20 I didn't have a clue about pretty much anything...

 Why do the mods use the word old? 45 isn't old.

In Australia, you're treated like adult once you reach the age of 18. That's a considerable age difference, but no, he is NOT a pedophile. A 20 year old is NOT a child under Australian law.

 What I have always wanted to know is when a person dates someone who is 25 years younger than them, what do they talk about?
