Dating experts weigh in on the 'half their age plus seven' dating rule

 

Fuck that.

 

Imagine getting angry because some people think it's gross to date someone young enough to be your daughter.

 

Well, sir, it's the "some people think" part, I guess.

Because "some people" don't have a say in the matter. Most of them have enough trouble keeping their own lives in order.

 

No one has a say in the matter except the two people involved. I guess no one should comment or make an observation on anything ever that doesn't concern them. Might as well shutter 90 percent of this board while you're at it.

 

It simply amazes how you can spout clean-living talking points and still come off like a douche.

 

If your opinion meant fuck-all to me, that might have been hurtful. Enjoy pining for teenagers and 20-somethings. It's not at all gross.

And a 10-year difference makes them 39 percent more likely.

Az, even if all that's true, nobody should be sitting back from a distance and doing the tsk-tsk. You don't know others' reality.

 

If they're happy, oh well. At the same time, don't put details about your private life online if you don't want to be judged.

Having much younger friends? Not a problem. Dating much younger people? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..

I don't get it, but if it makes other people happy, more power to them. At the same time, don't call your friends and whine about being bored when Skye-Ponee wants to listen to Olivia Rodrigo and Bishop Briggs and you thought you were all down with the kidz with your Taylor Swift, you hipster, you.

 

You gotta admit there's a major difference between marrying or just dating a 17-year-old girl (Seinfeld) and a 30-year-old grown ass woman (Brooks).
