    I was in a situation recently which made me think of an old formula I had heard of which suggests a maximum age difference between two people in a relationship. You take the age of the older person in the relationship, divide by two, and then add seven. So a 50 year old according to this formula should not consider dating anyone younger than 25 + 7 = 32. What do you think of an idea such as a maximum age difference in a relationship? Is that old-fashioned? Does anyone know any other formulas?

    What is the benefit achieved by the math? If not based in something other than math what is the point?

    I guess being an engineer I'm a little too fond of formulas!

    If converting from US to Canada you just double it and add 30 ;-)

    Hi,

    Just visiting Canada. I have a "standard" head. :lol:

    Curious... Is there a formula to calculate best time of day to have sex based on couples ages and the day of the year? :lol:

    I would love to have a long term relationship with anybody >=25, but I would worry about my befeeblment and death in their middle age. That is the only thing that stops me.

    I cannot get past that... I guess polygamy after I reached age XX or XX level of dotage could be a possibility.

    I know you can fall in love with anybody regardless of age (adult).

    Stuck

    I know from experience you can fall for someone of any age. I fell for a guy who was only 22. The problem was my daughter was two years older than him, and my son was two years younger than him. I had to just give that one a pass.

    my daughter is 25. in my book anyone with 10 years of that is off limits... well, at least for a relationship ;-)
