Too young? Don't you know the creepy age factor equation?

Half your age + 7

So for me 44, half is 22, plus 7 is 29, so I could be with a 29 year old and it would not be creepy.

36, minus 7 is 29, times 2 is 58 so you would have to be 58 for it to be creepy to go out with someone 36.

If you're still confused, here's the full explanation:

I'm 36.

6 x 6 = 36, hence it is a square number.

It is also a triangular number:

1
2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15
16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

/thread.
Sorry but that triangle appears off by the numbers 15, 21, 28, and 36.

this thread is bugging me, 'cause to me, a triangle is a female genital piercing that goes under the clitoris.

as for being square, well, I'd hold it against you, but I'm too hip for that.

I thought that at first too, but it's just because of the font spacing. Match up the double-digit numbers to their single-digit counterparts above them: 11 with 7, 12 with 8, 13 with 9, 14 with 10, and then 15.

I know why it looks off. But still... if you lob off 15, 21, 28, and 36 it makes it look cleaner.

The Quadratic Equation is pretty ugly too. We should just lob off a few variables here and there.

I'm the same age as Zen, I could be going out with a 25 year old.
No thanks!

BTW if you round up, 59 is the non-creepy age for us.
I know my friends would still find that creepy though.

Bud Abbott: You’re 40 years old, and you’re in love with a little girl, say 10 years old. You’re four times as old as that girl. You couldn’t marry that girl, could you?
Lou Costello: No...
Bud Abbott: So you wait 5 years. Now the little girl is 15, and you’re 45. You’re only three times as old as that girl. So you wait 15 years more. Now the little girl is 30, and you’re 60. You’re only twice as old as that little girl.
Lou Costello: She’s catching up.
Bud Abbott: Here’s the question. How long do you have to wait before you and that little girl are the same age?
Lou Costello: What kind of question is that? That’s ridiculous. If I keep waiting for that girl, she’ll pass me up. She’ll wind up older than I am. Then she’ll have to wait for me!

When I was about 28 I went out with an 'over 50' for a while. He wasn't far over 50, but he had already had his first heart attack. lol

In the end I decided he was definitely too old for me. First, I was always afraid I'd kill him in the sack and second his name was the same as my grandfathers.
