LOL-ita
There's a pretty and blonde receptionist at my local gym with whom I occasionally have a mildly flirtatious little conversation as she swipes my card.

I joked to myself that this was silly, because she's probably about half my age. Then I stopped, realising that the joke probably wasn't all that inaccurate. And then I felt very sordid indeed.

I'm off to the grubby mac shop now. See you later.

how flirtatious were you?
Did you say "er, um, eh, hello" or something?

Oh come on
There are so many bad things about getting older (like nasal hair...I mean, what's that all about?), at least we should be able to hang on to the few consolations -- like perving over nubile young strumpets. Otherwise we might as well just off ourselves right now.

Grubby mac shop?
Are you buying an iPerv then?

Girls half my age are
17 - fair game! (to other 34yr olds anyway. I've already been snapped up!

so far
I have restricted myself to my own age ± 13 years. That puts the half-my-age lot well out of reach. You perverts.

depends...
of course that depends on how old you are and how sick you are

Isn't the rule
Isn't the rule: don't date/shag anyone younger than half your age + 7 years?

So at 20 that puts your minimum at 17, but at 40 it becomes 27.
