I would say otherwise.

flawed formula is flawed
60/2 + 7 = 37
60 yr person with a 37 year old person. just wrong.

It works better when the age gap is smaller - when I was 18 and 19 I had guy friends my age who used it..

Who is to decide what's creepy and what isn't? It's stupid to leave that to an arbitrary formula. If two consenting adults, regardless of age, want to be together, so be it. How is judging someone for dating someone outside of their age bracket any different than judging someone for dating outside their race, or dating someone who is the same sex as they are? They're all equal forms of discrimination. |

I think you might be putting sex on a pedestal. It's really not that sacred of an act. Sex and love aren't synonymous. It's a reproductive function at the end of the day, required for the continuation of our species. Hence why we get urges..or "horny". You don't need to be in love to be horny. And if you want to deal with the horny you either a) introduce yourself to Ms. Lopez b) find someone else to take care of it.
Are you saying that "quality girls" should either deny their sexual urges and/or just take care of it themselves?
And does love somehow make sex something more than what it is?
I'm just asking. Personally, I don't care, but I still find it interesting that having sex without love=a lack of morals. How exactly is sex related to morals?

You shouldn't be dating when you're 60 anyways. |

It's a "joke" formula.

I'm going to ask a simple question: Why?
Apart from your personal interpretation of morality that you seem to be extending over everyone else (and you also seem to be somehow linking morality and intelligence); why can't a smart, moral girl have a casual sexual relationship/encounter?
I personally know a handful of "quality" girls that have had loveless sex with an ex, and one that was in a platonic "sex buddy" relationship. These weren't crazy party girls that were banging w/e came their way, but they did make the conscious decision to have sex with a person they didn't love and I can't see how that would reflect badly on them.
