Nepenthe Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Hmm, is it morally wrong to date someone 2/3's of your age? I'm honestly conflicted.. Around here it's "champagne time" Lol, not sure what to make of that - but knowing you - something depraved and wonderfully decadent. Hah, girl 10 years or more younger than me -> open up a bottle of Charles Heidsieck. 1 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Amentep Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Hmm, is it morally wrong to date someone 2/3's of your age? I'm honestly conflicted..My first thought was "of course not," but then I thought about what 2/3rd of my age was and it creeped me out. As I recall, the accepted formula for this kind of thing that the partner must be at least (your age)/2 + 7. So, solving for a 2/3 ratio, Ros must be at least 42 years old in order for this not to be creepy. (Wow, it's been a long time since I've done algebra. Somebody double-check me.) That said, "creepy" doesn't necessarily mean "morally wrong." If the proposed partner is of sufficient temporal, emotional, and intellectual maturity that he or she knows what he or she is getting into, it's not morally wrong in my book. 1/2x+ 7 = Y Y= 2/3x 1/2x +7 = 2/3x 3/4x + 10.5 = x 1/4 x = 10.5 x= 42; Y = 28 Checks out. 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Guard Dog Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Hmm, is it morally wrong to date someone 2/3's of your age? I'm honestly conflicted.. As long as you're both legal age I don't see any serious issue. That said, for me personally, I do tend to find it kinda weird when one is, oh say, 75 and the other is 25. And as Hurlshot said, even outside of how mature they may seem/behave, sometimes if the other is below 20ish, they may not really know what they want yet (compared to the one who is a fair bit older), either from life or from relationships, and thus the couple may find themselves growing apart rather fast. But that can also happen to any couple, so I don't see it as a reason to not try. If he's 75 and she's 25 its quite obvious she's just waiting for him to die while she entertains herself with the pool boy! 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

I used to be a pool boy and I can confirm that some of the trophy wives are a bit forward. Anyway Ros, I'd go for it.
