Can I fix this?

[brimic]

ince I'm 34, dating a 24-year-old would be creepy?

Ayup- in a creepy head asplody kind of way/

The creepiness rule:
Take your age.
Divide it by 2
add 8

If your mate is younger than that number, its creepy/and/or illegal.

I thought Heinlein said it was plus 7.

Faster horses,
Younger women,
Older whisky,
And more money.

[MrsSmith]

So by using that theory, it's perfectly acceptable for me to date a 70 y.o. man or for him to date me? What about the creepy factor going in the other direction?? No offense to of any of you who might be that age, but that's older than my mother - and you're welcome to date her but don't call me when it goes to hell. And it would. 

So guys my age should be dating girls (and I do mean girls) in their late 20s?

That's it. I'm done dating.

And I read everything Heinlein ever wrote and don't remember this. Maybe because I did the math and blocked it out.

I could be wrong. This subject came up once before and I thought someone here said it was a Heinlein thing -- which sounded plausible considering some of his other relationship views. :)

I know I've heard the half plus seven years but as a Muslim pretext.

Same with me, 27+7 is 34? No way dude, not for me. 

[wmenorr67]

29 or 30 for me.....depends on her how mature she is.

Know a lot that are my age that are still not that mature.

[MrsSmith]

But what about the reverse factor for us girls?? Explain that!!

Boys rule and girls drool? ( I'll be in the bomb shelter for an extended stay)

They are in it for the money.

Second time you've made a money comment wmenorr, so now I'm compelled to address it.

Yes, there are some women who value status and money above all else and they make the rest of us look bad. Most of the women I know are more concerned with integrity, loyalty, happiness, kindness and someone who'll stand beside them when SHTF. Don't label us all as being motivated by a bank account or I'll start making comments about men's inability to look past a woman's measurements.

Such my reply about how mature they are or aren't.

Integrity = Doesn't do illegal stuff that jeopardizes the money.

Loyalty = Doesn't spend the money on other women.

Happiness = Spends the money on me.

Kindness = Not only spends the money on me, but for the stuff I actually want.

SHTF = Well diversified portfolio.

 

Is this absolutely craven self-serving attempt to turn this thread into a discussion of "measurements" working?

I can take my age and divide it by 4 and then add 8....and I'd still be legal.....

Guess this means I'm old now, right?....

Is he wealthy ?   

[280plus]

Don't laugh, one of my doctor's aides (30 yo) married a 58 YO guy. My first question, "Does he have money?" Answer, "No."

Go figure...

I wouldn't say that I'm incorrigible.....I just haven't had the proper person to corrige me yet....
