[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe strongly in the classic formula:

((older person's age)/2 + 7 = (lowest partner age))

For a 50 year old:
50/2 + 7 = 32

At 30, you're already a couple of years below a 50 year old's floor. I know 30 is only 2 years young than 32, but the formula is already lenient. It allows for greater differences in age as you get older, as those differences gradually mean less. If he was in his mid-40s, I'd say go for it.

Of course, there are always exceptions. Maybe he is unusually fit and youthful looking, or has enough money or personality to make up for it? Patrick Stewart was the "Sexiest Man in America" in his 50s.

I hate to say it, but unless he has enough money that you don't have to worry about affording medical care, or help around the house as he ages, I would tread cautiously.[/quote]

Everyone talks of this classic formula, but they forget that this formula was for men from ages 18 to 30 years.   It was not for really old guys, like a 60 year old man with a 37 year old woman, Which is quite creepy.

So for a 18 year old :
18/2 + 7  = 16

For a 30 year old man:
30/2 + 7 =  22[/quote]
