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.

Get the half-your-age-plus-seven mug.
