A sideboard, 20 pounds of used tupperware and a stereo. And I might be convinced to sweeten the pot with a futon.

Alright then... 35 years younger, as long as you don't mind older men (that would make me 17).

Does this one make you wish you were 30 years younger ?

Yeah, but I wouldn't trade hair-lines with you. :-p

Heh. I'm with you man. But my kids think my celeb preferences are creepy.


All seriousness aside though, the formula I think works well: p >= p'/2+7 where p and p' are the younger and older participants respectively.

Rats! I clicked on that damned formula half a dozen times before I realized that it wasn't a link.
 
  • #3,217
haha that formula works quite well! did you come up with that? it would take my personal vote for the most elegant formulas in physics thread for once and for all settling an age old* issue :smile:

* I never thought I'd say this, but: no pun intended.

I remember seeing that formula on QI. Supposedly its the age of a mans perfect partner.

You can try explaining that to my 57-year-old wife. I'm way too scared to even raise the topic. :eek:

I don't know about that - it works both ways.

So a mans perfect partner is more and more younger than him as he ages. Then someone had better find a way to make these divorces a bit cheaper.

Who says you have to get married?

It's not about perfect partners, it's about acceptable age discrepancy - and it works for younger AND older partners, and is gender-independent.

A man or woman's acceptable range of partner's age starts very narrow and expands as he or she gets older. Age discrepancy matters is a big deal in your teens but lessens as you get older.

When you're 16, male or female, you should only be dating partners between 15 and 18.

When you're 18, male or female, you should only be dating partners between 16 and 22. (Notice how the formula is nicely reciprocal for both the elder partner : 18yo as seen here - and the younger partner: 16yo as seen above)

When you're 30 you should only be dating partners between 22 and 46. And so on...

From college on, with one or two exceptions, I dated women older than me. My general policy is not to become involved with younger women.

I generally agree with you 100% astro.

I enjoy talking to a woman that can hold a conversation.

I'm sure there are many girls my age who can hold a conversation. They're all just probably somewhere out there hiding from guys my age.

Women my friend, not girls.

25 and older.

For me it's a matter of experience. Most of my male friends in college were two or three years older.

I much preferred intelligent conversation, especially with a woman who had similar interests in arts, sciences and humanities.

Why?:confused: I thought you wouldn't care about people's ages.

I'm 25 but I'm not a woman! Heaven knows how much I hate the word "woman".

Well, this is a moot point since I've been with the same woman/lady for 27 years (as of this week). My wife is also 6.5 years older than me. That was not deliberate, but just a matter of circumstance.

In my personal experience, woman my age or younger lacked a broad range of interests and experience which I needed in a partner.

Of course, I can be a friend (i.e. have a platonic relationship) regardless of age.

What does one consider oneself? Or what term would one prefer?

Happy Anniversary, pal. Pass on my best wishes to Mrs. Nuc. I've really got to meet her some day. If she's that good a match for you, she must be absolutely awesome.
(A brief side-note re: your signature. I found this great radio station a couple of months ago that plays all kinds of stuff that I love. A couple of weeks ago I heard, for the first time in probably 20 years, 'Cool Change' by the Little River Band. It made me think of you instantly.)

Lisa, I remember from when you first showed up here that you hate the term 'woman'. I think that you even gave a bit of an explanation in a PM, but I still don't really understand why. Is it a cultural thing? In North America, it's the 'politically correct' term for a female over the age of majority. We get in trouble for calling them 'ladies' or 'girls'.

This week is 27 years from our first date, and we got engaged 3 months later and married 11 months after that (so we've been formerly married for almost 26 years). I'd already known her for about 7 months before we dated, since we both had the same friends (her best friend was living with my best friend). She is absolutely awesome! :biggrin:

That might seem like ridiculously rapid progress to some people, but I know exactly where you're coming from. W and I ended our first date in the back seat of her minivan in a rural friend's driveway. Our second date was 3 days in a motel. Our 3rd was 4 months on our (her) niece's couch. Our 4th is now going into the 3-year mark. When it's right, it's right. Why stall?
Okay, I got to go now. Pool league finals match in 5 minutes. Catch you later.

I made the best choice at the time.

Well, I considered us married the first time I spent the night with her - and she agreed. The actual marriage ceremony eleven months later was a formality, and a good excuse to party with friends.
