Dating on Age - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Revan · 8th Jan 2010, 07:16 PM

So here's just an amusing little topic about where we state how old or how young we're "allowed" to date according to the following two formula.

Youngest one can date: Age/2 + 7
Oldest one can date: Age - 7 * 2

For me it's 17.5 and 28.

Now please keep in mind I in no way say this is the case. Love is love, so if you're a 21 year old like myself and you date a 30 year old, no biggie. Though obviously young wise don't date someone TOO young or TOO old obviously lol. But yeah I hope you won't mind me doing this topic. I don't think it counts as a game but if one wants to put it in the game thread that's up to them lol.

Anyway, just give it a shot!

So youngest - 15
Oldest - 18

Seeing as Anderson Cooper is a good 40 something, I refuse to accept this.

My own shindig I follow when it comes to age is 2 Years Up/2 Years Down. But thats strictly my own personal dogma or whatever xD

Revan · 8th Jan 2010, 07:32 PM

Like I said, isn't real, just a fun thing to play

RaeofLite · 8th Jan 2010, 07:41 PM

17.5 and 28.
For me personally I tend to work well with women older than me. At least by a year. I've tried dating younger and... it doesn't seem to work.

partietraumatic · 9th Jan 2010, 02:49 AM

oldest 22 and youngest 16...

i would date someone who was 22, given im nearly 19 that doesn't seem that big a deal. Im not sure id date a 16 year old tho...something doesn't seem right about that.

Derek the Wolf · 9th Jan 2010, 03:56 AM

16-22 i guess. BF is 17 so i guess i'm okay. but yeah i've seen this rule many times before.

(15.5/2) +7 = 14.75
(15.5-7)*2 = 17
(15.5-7*2 simplifies to 15.5-14 using order of operations, and this is my math nerd coming out again)

Well I'm not gonna be dating a freshman any time soon... I don't think it's fair
but that's just me.

Youngest one can date: Age/2 + 7
Oldest one can date: Age - 7 * 2

14.5-16 0.o

xballetxbeautyx · 9th Jan 2010, 06:19 AM

14.5-16. Considering that a 17 year old just dumped me because she didn't like the age gap, I'm not liking this rule so much.

Katherine · 9th Jan 2010, 06:36 AM

My age range is 15.5 - 20.

My current girlfriend is almost exactly 15 and a half, so I'm good!

Absentminded · 9th Jan 2010, 07:15 AM

15.5-20

SaturdaySaviour · 9th Jan 2010, 07:42 AM

youngest: 15
oldest: 18

Interesting formula, but I kind of feel that one year gap would be my limit.

9th Jan 2010, 08:40 AM

think mine is 20 for youngest and 38 for oldest. wouldnt go for anyone over 30 myself but 20 i guess is ok ish. might be a bit young.

kettleoffish · 9th Jan 2010, 10:38 AM

15-18.

My boyfriend's 14.. oh well

Youngest one can date: Age/2 + 7

(13.7/2) + 7= 13.9
(13.7-7) * 2= 13.4
My youngest is 13.9, and my oldest is 13.4????

How did that happen?

Connor22 · 9th Jan 2010, 11:09 AM

14.5-16 I don't think it worked very well

See I think in your case that's totally fine. I think really this dating by age thing should only apply to those like 18 or older. This is because someone who's 14 for example could only date someone the same age for the youngest and oldest the SAME age. So it doesn't work that well lol.

From where I am in Ireland, I can't help pointing out this story, of the wife of the First Minister of Northern Ireland, who at age 59 had an affair with a 19 year old boy. From the same women who said "there can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality, than sexually abusing innocent children".

Anyway, it's 18.5 to 32 for me. Though I think 21-25 would be the ideal boy's age for me.
