I've always followed the "divide-by-2+then-add-7" rule... I'm not sure where I heard it first, but it really seems to give pretty good numbers. It works like this:

take the guy's age
divide it by 2
add 7 to this number

So,

(26/2) + 7 = 20. So, for a 26-year old guy, the youngest girl he could date would be 20.

The funny thing is my current g/f is >right< at the lower-age-limit. I was 24 when I met her (she was 19). It was actually a relief, 'cause the previous 3 girls I'd dated where 1.5, 3, then 6 years older than me... I was worried that doubling of age difference would continue... +12 years woulda been next!! :)

Sex can't be a reason either. Anyone can be a perfect lover for their partner if there is communication. If the women isnt happy with her sex life, she should speak up, and say it, if the guy doesnt change hes obviously an idiot.

Possibly. But, I'm 99% sure the rule is something I'd heard in high school (graduated in '91), so that's before Malcolm X came out ('92). Guess it coulda been one of those "proverbs" that's gotten around.

<< 34 married to a 50 year old...
Kids are one thing, mothering a husband is another, and I sure as sheit don't need another father.
Money ? nope, he didnt have any when I met him.
Hmmm, guess that just leaves the fact that he is a good man.

and your happiness is the final word, nothing else matters...

I can't speak for everyone else but I've always been a bit of a handful, and never could respect a dude that I could run right over, wimps and mama's boys don't last long with me.For me that means I date age peers at bare miniium or preferably guys older than me,even if just by a couple yrs. If you can't hold my attention with what you've got between your ears, what you've got going on between your legs won't matter a bit.

>Bah that's nothing. I once knew a 14-year-old who dated a 30-year-old. Don't ask.

We wont.

That reminds of some lyrics from Frank Zappa and the Mothers on the "Life From Filmore East" Album. My Dick is a Harley, you kick it to start.

I *might* be able to tolerate a 23 year old, politically conservative young lady with a 4 year degree in the sciences. But a know-nothing 20 year old liberal arts student concerned about "the environment" and "the unfairness of the rich" would result in the shutdown of my brain until my body safely left the area.

<< You young whippersnappers do realize that us 30 year-olds don't feel any different than when we were 20, right? There is no magical moment when you feel old. 20 year old women look the same to us now as they did when we were 20. DEAL WITH IT. >>

I still look at pretty 20 year old girls, I just forgot why.

My dad is 20 years older than my mom (he's 75 she's 55)
I don't see anything wrong with it; they love each other and raised me just fine.

ditto.

The same reasons you go for any girl. YOU LIKE HER for whatever dam reason!

If the people like each other and make it work then good for them. They like each other so whats the probleml? Nothing in my mind. Ifs not if they are not capable of doing so....

30yr is not old. 50 isn't old IMHO. Now 85 is getting old....
