I don’t know. I think, as Ross MacDonald’s Lew Archer put it, that it’s a good thing when if, as you get older, the girls you like get older, too.

I follow the half your age plus seven rule, which gives me 35 and up. (Of course that’s just flirting. I’m married, after all.) And since I have a 15 year-old son I can sort of mentally consign anyone younger to Jake. I would advise him to follow the flip-side of the rule – twice his age minus seven. Which leaves women 24-35 safe from our devastating charms.
I think it’s a pretty good rule of thumb. By and large I honestly don’t find today’s young starlets remotely appealing. Rather than getting all excited my instinct is to want to pat them on the head and give them a quarter to go to the movies. My interest range runs more from Salma Hayek (46) to Dana Delany (56).
We have lots of young students running around. I find that most of them seem more like kids, and you just dont flirt with kids. Once they hit about 30, it becomes more enjoyable, but if you really want to have fun, try talking naughty with the 70-80 y/os. I still remember the 80 y/o lady who answered for her husband when I asked if he used Viagra. She said no, he wouldnt want to wait that long.

Couldn’t help but be reminded of this. (language warning)
I’ve dated women less than half my age and more than twice it. I do draw a line at bubble heads, no matter how hot they are. If a conversation is impossible, then I’m not interested.
