Context, I’m 30 now and i will find women my age and up attractive, but 15 years ago a 35 year old women would never have been attractive to me.

As I’ve aged younger women are less and less attractive (thankfully)

But when I’m 60 will 60 year old women be attractive to me?

      As soon as I saw this post I jumped on xkcd. Glad I checked the comments before replying, or I would have made quite the fool of myself.

      The full analysis is of course much more complicated, but I can’t stay to talk about it because I have a date.

      Since turning 30 I’ve been thinking about the half-your-age-plus-seven rule a lot more. It would feel creepy as fuck to date a 22 year old. Is this all in my head? It feels predatory to swipe right on anyone younger than 25

        I’m about to turn 40, and 27 has proven to be too young for me. The folks I’ve had the most success with have been 30+.

        At 30, I’d think 25+ is the spot to be in.

        As a 37 year old 27+ seems reasonable to me, but it would be a lot more of a “maybe”

        I’d agree it’s bordering on predatory… but honestly a 22 year old should be mature enough to do what they want. In reality i’m assuming there will be a massive difference in interests and knowledge with an age gap like that (this was my experience talking to girls in their early 20s when I was in my late 20s), but anything is poasible I guess.
