half-your-age-plus-seven

This is a very old rule of thumb: it is the calculation applied to a man's age that provides the age in a woman that he is most naturally attracted to physically. (Things change of course once you begin to actually TALK! :-o )

In recent years it has been misapplied to mean the lowest age that would be considered "decent" for him to date.

This new interpretation of the rule is actually quite bizarre when you consider the remarkable range of maturity among adults of both sexes at all ages.
That 50 year old think's he'll be able to romance that 32 year old. I'm not surprised he's attracted to her - she is the proverbial "half-your-age-plus-seven" - but let's see how far they really go together.

half-your-age-plus-seven

A clarification: the formula mentioned to determine WHEN an inappropriate relationship becomes appropriate is incorrect. The correct formula is to double the difference between the appropriate age of the younger person and the younger person's actual age. Conversely, this will equal the difference between the appropriate age of the older person and the older person's actual age. A SIMPLER FORMULA: The older person's age plus 14 minus twice the younger person.
Tim is 46; his girlfriend is 27. He shouldn't date under 30 according to the half-your-age-plus-seven rule; she shouldn't date anyone over 40. The relationship becomes appropriate in six years: 2 x (30-27) or 46-40, OR 46 + 14 - (2 x 27).
