[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, technically he fails the "dirty old man" formula by 1.5 years.

47/2 + 7 = 30.5

He probably a bit too old for you, but if you like the guy, and he is reasonably healthy and fit, then do what you like. I would put his age at the upper limit for men having children. Prior to birth control, it wasn't uncommon for men (and women) to have children well into their 40s. Of course, it usually wasn't their first child.

Think of dating as a decathlon. He is "below average" in the "age event," but maybe he excels at something else.

Another poster noted (correctly, I believe) that some of the posters here are triggered by stories of older men dating younger women, and tend to have strong reactions that are rooted in insecurity. In the end, everyone is a complex individual. No one here except you knows this guy.[/quote]

"Triggered"?  Are you Lena Dunham?

I think it's just a lot of people find older people unattractive, hence the idea of dating one is unappealing, or "gross" as some less mature people put it.  Simple. [/quote]

OP obviously finds him attractive. It seems to be a moot point.[/quote]
