A maturity that the young boys just don't possess.

Sometimes. Just like older men can be just as immature as the boys, some boys can be wise beyond their years.

26/2+7 = 20
:)

I've seen that formula every time JohnBeak enter #freelunchdesign, but I never bothered finding out what it was for.

There's nothing wrong, young women are more beautiful than old ones, you can't understand because you're not a man.

That is an extremely seedy and sexist argument, not in the least because it suggests that the only thing that matters is physical beauty. I like my women emotionally and mentally mature, thanks. If that adds a few more years to their age (which it usually will), then that's fine.

Well, I don't understand why young women are attracted to older men.

Well, come to that, I don't really understand (on an intuitive level) why women are attracted to men at all (I do understand on an intellectual level, fortunately). As for why they're attracted to older men, it's again a statistical argument for (emotional) stability. Success and power are also motivations.

(EDIT: and yes, there are plenty of examples of successful relationships where the age difference is huge and/or where she's older than he is.)

Anyway, are we now posting ages of our girlfriends (or boyfriends) as well? In that case, 27.

My last two girlfriends* are today 31 and 20. I don't really care that much about age (I tend to follow age/2+7 ;)), as long as there is an attraction on some level, and both parties are happy.

(* depends on your definition of a girlfriend)

edit: btw, if anyone missed where that formula comes from

My mum is 57 this year, and my step dad is 37. :)
So there is a point somewhere, where age really doesn't matter.

I guess I'd go for age/2+7 ... too bad the girl I'm thinking of owns a cat...
[edit]
In her case, it would be more like age/2+9

In my case, if the girl owns a cat then I am willing to add one quarter of the age of the cat to the age of the girl for the purposes of seeing whether she is in range. Dog owners only get one eighth.

Problem for me is that I'm allergic to cats, dogs, horses, guineapigs and whatnot >:(
[edit]
Oh, and children... so I can't date hot young single mommies either :P

Oh. Then you should subtract at least the aggregate of log2(12 - pet's age) from the girl's age.

One has to wonder what's so wrong with a 33 year old that he must go for a girl who is that young.

Well, she owns two houses (something I've never managed) has lived on her own longer than I have, manages her own investments (I need a joint account so I don't blow my money), so she's the mature one in our relationship.

I don't use allegro so I don't have to post my age.

On the relationship age discussion: When I was 28 I dated an 18 yr old, then my next girlfriend after that was a 43 yr old when I was about 30. Experience is a good thing, imo.

Per Jarvis Cocker, an older lover will teach you stuff although [s]he's looking rough.

EDIT: I've never had a girlfriend who was more than 7 years older than me or 2 years younger than me.

It's natures cruel joke that young men and older women are "on the same page" so to speak. I suppose that's true for older men and younger women too.

When I'm 40, I'll hook up with an 18 year old. The good thing about 18 year old women is they are always the same age.
