My Grandad...
... apart from I call him Grandpa as he's extremely posh, and I suppose I am a bit, to a point, but that's getting off the point before even getting started...

He came out with this equation that the age of the woman you should be going for should be half your age plus seven. OK, so now you're thinking about this... and it does work remarkably well. I was twelve at the time, so fairly impressed that Gramps (again, I would never actually call him that) was pushing to get with girls in the year above. He quickly corrected this though and said I shouldn't be after girls yet (fucker) - he didn't mention the fact that you'd be up on statutory rape charges if you were 16... but let's not go down that route.

So why was my Grandpa bothered about coming up with a yard stick for which men should be aiming at their next squeeze? Because having lost his wife, my wonderful Grandma to cancer four years before, he'd just introduced me to his new girlfriend, a slightly odd forty four year old Norwegian woman... Still not bad for a 74 year old!

He's going to be Ninety Three in February and though he's pretty much housebound these days, I wouldn't put it past him to still charm any of the female home help.

Hmmmm...
*does some mental math*

That lands me at 29.

It would still feel a little creepy to me.

I've heard of that equation
and came to a similar conclusion about when you're 16!

I was following that when I was 25, but now I would be giving length to a 21 year old, and not to the lovely missus.
