Difference in age?

Heh, my thoughts exactly 🙂

Although...my haircut "girl" is 9 years older than me (I'm 21, she's 30), and I wouldn't have a problem with that...at least in that specific instance 😀

i think there are 2 age lines that shouldn't be crossed-- 16 and 21.

under 16 and you shouldn't be dating anyone more than a year off, but between the two and older than 21, anyone else in the same category is fair game.

half the man's age plus seven.

never break the rule. Its amazing how well it fits.

so...

20 and 40? - low limit for 40 is 27. This is a no-no
25 and 40? - still no-no
20 and 30? - low limit for 30 is 22. no-no.

I place all of the men in the loser category for hitting on girls to young for them.

Well everyone knows the 1/2 + 7 rule, but I think it's a bit simplistic to say that that's the complete solution to the issue.

actually it seems to work perfectly.

hehe

i think anyone loses when they limit the people they're interested in by rules, when both people are capable of consent.

I don't understand this 1/2 + 7 rule.

Just a general guideling on when the other person is too young for you. There have been a few "I'm 22 and want to date a 16 year old high schooler" threads. But that 6 years difference in age is completely different from a 40 year old dating a 34 year old.

So take your age (or theirs if they are older 😉) divide by 2 and add 7. It is amazingly close to what most people consider an acceptable age gap in a couple.

14 = 14
15 = 14.5
16 = 15
17 = 15.5
18 = 16
19 = 16.5
20 = 17
21 = 17.5
22 = 18
23 = 18.5
24 = 19
25 = 19.5
26 = 20
27 = 20.5
28 = 21
29 = 21.5
30 = 22
31 = 22.5
32 = 23
33 = 23.5
34 = 24
35 = 24.5
36 = 25
37 = 25.5
38 = 26
39 = 26.5
40 = 27
etc.

Going by that chart, I'm allowed to entertain all sugamamas up to 40 yr old or younger.

That doesn't change when you get older. I'm 37 and I would also love to pursue a 21 year old. I suspect when I'm 45 I'll still want to pursue a 21 year old. It's academic though as I am married.

BTW-My wife is 6 months younger than I am.

c'mon dude. A 40 year old and a 20 year old.

That's just sick. Any consent in that match would be the older guy consenting that he can't get anything in the gene pool but little girls.

Funny, I would place them in the very attractive or very wealthy/powerful category. That's pretty much the only way a 40 Y/O dude is going to get any play from a 20 Y/O woman.

I'd have to say, when I am 40 and if I can still hook it up with a hot 20 year old, that'd be great and I don't think you can convince me otherwise. 😀

Heh, my thoughts exactly 🙂

Although...my haircut "girl" is 9 years older than me (I'm 21, she's 30), and I wouldn't have a problem with that...at least in that specific instance 😀

Weird; I hate most people younger than me, girls included. Hell, many people my own age and older often seem pretty childish to me.

Older women are HAWT. 😉

40/20 is probably ok based on the number of 20 year old girls that find 50+ year old men attractive in hollywood.

Agreed. 90% of older men looking for younger women are just a$$holes looking for an easy lay from a girl they can impress with money/power. Honestly, why else would an older man with a house and career be interested in a girl who's biggest concern is getting her homework in on time.

girls mature faster than boys. so 16 year old boys can date 45 year old women.
