I’ve always heard the “half your age plus seven” rule (mostly somewhat jokingly) for the appropriate minimum age of your partner. But I read somewhere that it’s origin is from some 18th century manual for finding a wife, wherein it indicated the MAX age of an appropriate wife…
Every kid in my high school knew the “half your age plus 7” rule for bounding age gaps:
Age of younger person in the relationship = (Age of older person in the relationship / 2) + 7
So if you are 30 then you can date from 22 to 46. Science!
Though, really, beyond your mid-20s I think you can date as old as you like. As long as everyone is consenting, open, and honest, then have fun.
The half + 7 also makes it more likely that the two of you have some overlapping life experiences which helps a lot with compatability.
50 and 32? Maybe, I guess?..
More likely than 50 and 22…
I’m 100 years old! Gonna get me a niiiiiiice 19 year old!
What? I don’t give a shit about your little dating rules. I’m 100! I’m gonna get my dick wet using money that won’t be usable in 2 years!
Now then. Who wants to feed me 30 viagra, and get anally pounded for $20,000? Lets get real weird with it!
