As a former Alabama resident(It was a free house, and I am not a wise woman), that "could be" isn't needed. Same way it's not "they could be on meth", they're from Alabama, they're on meth.
I dont think its a state issue. I mean half of the USA voted someone as president who we openly claimed he wanted to fuck his daughter and who privately did.
So if you're in the usa id probably get off that high horse...
There’s nothing wrong with being out with your daughter. The game is inspired by a 30 Rock scene where they say “I hope she’s his daughter” and then they kiss and it’s “I hope she’s his mistress!”
I'm reminded of a time I was on a business trip to visit a remote office, and I had dinner with a woman that I worked with. Both of us are married, to other people, who were not present. We must have given off the right vibes, though, because the server asked if we wanted separate checks at the end.
Or maybe they thought the date had gone REALLY badly.
I worked at an ice cream place, and me and another coworker would offer to upgrade people's orders for free* if they let us guess if they were married, had kids, how many, etc. I have no idea why we wanted to play this game, but people were always on board, we got some laughs out of it, people got more ice cream, it was a win/win.
Not my money, don't care. The owners would later fire me when I threatened to report them for withholding paychecks after a freezer mishap. I got my $23.
I'm guessing there is more than just the age of her partner that made you break off contact to her? Having family that you can fall back on in situations like hers is essential.
I agree, the weird thing is that this view seems to be changing among leftist people. I live in a very leftist area in a leftist city in a leftist country and the past ~5 years whenever the topic of age difference has come up among people my age (35) or younger it's been increasingly "they're both adults, nothing wrong about it". And I just can't agree, it grosses me out and feels wrong in the deepest parts of my soul. Yeah, they're both adults (when it comes to the youngest being 18+) but that can't be the only thing that decides if it is or feels wrong.
Even then, there are 18 year olds I've met that have the maturity of a 25 year old and 25 year olds that just don't seem to have a frontal lobe. Age is an important heuristic but certainly not the only important factor when you are thinking about emotional maturity and power dynamics in a relationship.
Well, yeah, of course that's less bad. You're both older and the difference is less
Ultimately a lot of it comes down to levels of maturity and the places ones are in their lives anyway. A 17 year old definitively can never be mature enough to have a healthy relationship with a 40 year old
With this administration firing everyone competent? I suspect that you could add a MAGA hat to the outfit and you could just walk into those vaults too.
My go-to is to just forest introduce myself to the actual client, and then if they have anyone that I don’t already know, just ask something like “And who did you bring with you today?” So far no problems with that method.
Man, everyone is jumping to the conclusion there's an age gap. Have none of you met anyone that doesn't look their age?
As an aside, my wife and I are 14 years apart. She's the older one. Started dating when I was 23 (she was 37, so the "rule" would have put her limit at 25.5) and married for nearly a decade now.
My ex wife is six months older than me but apparently looked much younger than me. When we were in our mid twenties we would regularly get odd looks, she’d get carded and I wouldn’t, etc.
The funniest time though was when we were at an “adult event”. A friend of mine who hadn’t met her yet saw us together, pulled me aside, and said, “Dude, she’s way too young for you and teenagers aren’t allowed here. Get her out of here before we have to kick you out for good.” We were both 28. 🤣🤣🤣
My partner and I are pretty regularly confused for mother and daughter, which is super weird because we're only 7 years apart. We're in similar life stages so we never thought about the age difference at all until someone mistook us in public. It was super awkward all around. Is 36 really that much more than 29?
I get carded if I shave and don't have a beard but that's only an age difference of 12 years off my real age and to be honest I don't actually think they think I'm under 21 it just just aren't 100% certain, so they card me.
But for my wife to look like my daughter that would have to be at least an apparent 20 year age difference, minimum.
Ehhh...it breaks the half-plus-7 rule (I'd call 37 'late 30s')...but it beats 20s. I'm only forty and I can barely relate to my 20-something BILs. I couldn't imagine dating someone in their 20s, and not just because I'm happily married. The culture gap is so real. I could relate to X so much more than Z.
Still...even mid-30s doesn't give much time to plant the seed before you have to worry about the first frost. You gotta sow while the soil is warm. Having your own kid is great and all but maybe look for a divorcee/widow with a toddler...
Statistically his mean life expectancy is ~20 years left. Keep in mind as you get older your life expectancy goes up since you've already survived what killed many others younger
He'd be expected to die shortly after sending his kid off to college
Aging lies at the intersection of genetics and environment, which implies that 1) not everyone ages at the same rate, and 2) by optimizing the environment your body operates in (e.g., optimizing sleep, exercise, nutrition, supplements, and drugs ), you can optimize regeneration/repair and effectively slow the rate of aging. I'm lucky enough to have really good genetics for aging and I take exceptional care of myself, optimizing the above parameters, including the use of rapamycin. I have a long line of ancestors that have lived well into their 90s, even back in the 1700s, so I think there is a good chance my corpse will hold out long enough to see my offspring into adulthood.
Same, I'm just getting to forty and the older I get the less dating someone half my age makes any kind of sense. I have patients that I have seen from their teens and they're now in their mid twenties. Thinking about them as anything other than kids just seems unnatural and morally decrepit.
Thank you for commenting. I always appreciate feedback. I'd honestly prefer to date someone a bit closer to my age, as it's easier to have things in common. However, I'm exceptionally fit (my VO2max is 52), most of my friends are in their mid-40s, I'm very active, and have a couple of genetic SNPs associated with longevity, which I credit with how well I have aged. Most people guess that I'm in my mid 40s, and are shocked to learn my actual age. I'm also fortunate enough to be well-educated, financially stable, and reasonably good looking, so I am able to attract the women I'm interested in. FWIW, I would consider women as young as 25 hypothetically, but in reality I think it's unlikely that I'd find the type of connection I'm seeking with someone that age. Realistically, 30 is probably my lower limit.
I mean.... If you would truly prefer dating someone your own age you would be dating someone your own age. There are more realistic options for you to become a parent and have a quality relationship built on mutual respect.
I think most people dating people more than half their age tend to prefer people they can control emotionally and financially, and they tend to have more than a dash of narcissism. The older I get the stranger it is for me to see people dating someone they have nothing in common with. Like, what do you talk about with these people?
You may be in great shape for your 60s, but aging isn't a gradual progression. It happens in plateaus, and the likelihood of you not starting to have some issues with your memory and physical mobility by the time your child reaches adulthood is slim to none.
All good points for you. I guess the issue comes down to dating younger specifically to have kids. In a way it's reductive, you're not looking for a partner but shopping for a receptacle to give you a child.
From your additional comment I can see that's not entirely the case, but if you would refuse to date a woman that is in all regards is a perfect match for you just because she's closer to your age (and unable to have children) then that's a bit of an issue.
Or let's say you get with a woman that is 35 and start trying to have kids ASAP and that as a partner she's an ideal match. Then after trying for a year no kid. You go to a fertility specialist, and it turns out that she's infertile. What does this mean for you?
In my mind it's always been partner first then child if we so choose.
This isn't to say it's wrong to want kids, but if that's the primary factor that can have issues
Wanting children in your 60s is selfish. Not only do you put them at much higher risk for birth defects, but you likely won't be around for most of their life
If you want kids at that age, the solution is simple: adopt. Adopting is just a good idea in general, though. There are already too many people. There's no good reason to make more.
Meh, once someone is over thirty they've typically done enough adulting that the "half your age plus 7" metric isn't really necessary. There isn't a power or maturity imbalance, and I'm inclined to think that such women are capable of evaluating the pros and cons of dating me. My current best prospect is a M.D. that is 35.
I'm 7 years older than my wife. I was 27 and she was 20 when we met, both freshly divorced too. Most definitely a rebound thing, even 40 years later. I keep waiting for her to catch up to me in age, but she's taking her sweet time about it.

18-25, 7 years. That's half their current life and basically all they can remember. Just to the point where you should really think about marriage.

Funny, but also creepy.

Sounds like a mutually benefical arrangement assuming she's with him for the money and he's with her for her looks.

I'm 7 years older than my wife. I was 27 and she was 20 when we met, both freshly divorced too. Most definitely a rebound thing, even 40 years later. I keep waiting for her to catch up to me in age, but she's taking her sweet time about it.

😂 Lmao, that's the tradeoff. You will be in diapers much sooner, she will be much less mature.
