Years ago this rule-of-thumb stated that a man is most attracted physically to a woman half his age plus seven. But in recent years this rule has been perverted. The new meaning is that dating a woman younger than "half your age plus seven" is considered anything from "inappropriate" to "indecent". How superficial is that. Other superficial rules have fallen away over time. - Religion: In our society today, most people approve of a romance where the participants have different religions. Right? - Height: It's ok for the woman to be taller than the man. No? - Race/Ethnicity: They might be different races, ethnicities, or come from vasty different cultures / nations, and that is ok, right? - Gender: A majority even approve of same-sex relationships. But G-d forbid that a 50 year old man should date a 31 year old woman? This is indecent? If you really are judging other peoples romantic relationships by this "half plus seven" rule, you need to do some soul searching.
