Funny,  I have a rule for age differences.  Its for something a bit dirtier that dating,  but it can still be applied. 

I like to call it Pilt's Law

You can check it out here

Har.  So you should only date if you're within 1 year? 

Not so good at math I see. 

Pilts law allows a greater margin as you get older.

For instance I am 21 11/12,  so acording to Pilts law I can get with girls 19<= x < 26

but in ten years I'll be 31 and I'll be able to get with  girls 28< = x < 38

You can only get a 0 out of something like that if the top part of the fraction is 0.

So (x-y)^2 -1 = 0

(x-y)^2  = 1
x-y=1

So your age, minus her age, must be a year, no?

And PuddleMonkey - to sum up, your stupid rule was to date only older men, and your older rule was to date only stupid men.  Way to go, Gippy!

Well, a girl's gotta have her standards.

Isn't it a well known fact that men hit their sexual peak in their late teens, and women in their mid 30's? I don't know how many times I've heard/read that.

That's based on a single study, the Kinsley data during the 1950s, which has since come under heavy fire.

okay, I'm not gonna debate the study, but I just GOTTA educate you on one thing: it's Kinsey (since you've written "Kinsley" at least 3 or 4 times.)

Anyway, I'm not sure if I'd date a woman who was younger than me. I guess it would depend on how old I was at the time. If I was say, 24, and she was 22 or 21, I don't think I'd care. But if I was 21 (as I am now), and she was 19, it would weird me out. Don't ask why, it just does.

Older women? Again, it depends on how much older. I'm 21, and my girlfriend is 22. No biggie there.

see, i just find this silly.







girls can't date other girls. 

no one shoot me please i'm just funnin'

gozer, you're silly.

and maybe a wit bee jealous cuz you don't get to watch

I suppose this is logical, since men hit their sexual peak at 19.

Speak for yourself. I've gotten much better as I've gotten older.

It makes sence that men hit their physical sexual peak around 18-19. That's when the bones are fully formed and when, in pre-historic times, men were at their strongest. The pre-historic lifespan was much shorter than it is now, and given humanity's love of tribal warfare (in addition to a difficult environment), men didn't live very long. Someone in their 40's was considered an old man. Today, that's practically mid-life.

Males are, in many species, competitive with other males. Those who are physically strong get to procreate. So, coupling the peak of male sex drive with the male physical peak makes logical sense.

Recent research suggests that the brain isn't fully mature until 24, fyi.

It also makes sense that women hit their sexual peak late in life. Although women typically experience menopause (the passing of their final egg) later than the 30s, it's dangerous to try to have children in one's 40s. Eggs develop flaws ("fragmentation"). Babies are likely to be miscarried or born with defects. So, women can bear children with reasonable safety in their 30s, which is why their sexual peak is during that time. Their biological clocks are saying "you had better reproduce now before it's too late".

Since women don't battle each other for mates, it doesn't matter that their physical peak was around 19.

Pilt, I have a much simpler formula that generates nearly the same answer...

younger age = x
older age = y

if (y/2) + 7 >= x, then it's acceptable.

For example, say a 22 and 28 year old: 28/2 = 14, 14+7 = 21,  22 > 21 so it's OK.

But if it's a 17 and a 14 year old, then 17/2 = 8.5, 8.5+7 = 15.5, 14 < 15.5. Not OK.

The margin increases as you get older, too... if 40 = x then the younger person has to be at least 27. See?

Personally, I'd only ever date a woman who was older than or equal to my age. Both for the mental and emotional maturity, as well as the fact that people younger than me invariably remind me of my younger sister, and that thought just sticks and ferments and grows until... :shudder:

I don't get it.

THAT line (scene) should be in the movie quotes thread! 

like, puddlemoney is older than me and I'd do her.

that's not nice to say when I'm around.

But I do see where you're coming from. I'd do her too.

j/k, we are just friends.

Hm, my foot is craving your testicles right now... 


How's the celibacy thing comin' by the way?
