Hearing I was younger than my wife, her older sister joked "You dirty old woman!" 🀣 Early ref.s cite it as _ideal_ rather than lower limit πŸ™„ e.g. Frenchman LΓ©on Paul Blouet. Also, sexism: man to be older. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_dis... And of course, XKCD gets last word: xkcd.com/314/

Just 1 numerical issue. Statistically the number of men is less. Per the Bureau of Statistics, in my age group there are 0.8 men for every 1 women. Of that 0.8 I can assure you because of the ratio imbalance, all the reasonable -> good/better/best are already taken! 🀣 Consequently, (age/2)+7 βœ…οΈ

Trust you to wheel out the stats! 😁 Btw by older woman i meant β€œexperienced”. To be perfectly clear.. In straightlaced Bundaberg, nigh on impossible in my circumstance - tongues wagged ceaselessly.

It is a bit of a worry. Might see a drop in population growth as a result of Covid.

Absolutely.. πŸ’― One can only wonder if that was the intent - if Covid was indeed engineered by the β€œgain of function” research πŸ”¬ to cause the Pandemic 😷

My sci-fi fiction take on it was Covid was a result of some viruses getting together to save the environment and non-human species from humans. Covid has a hive brain, communicating across the globe. Avoided seasonality, mutate frequently, etc. Posted a thread on X, can't find it now.

Well, Cher breaks the rules re "man to be older". Saw a TikTok the other day arguing the women should be older, made a lot of sense! To your wife: "Great work, girl!!"

In retrospect, with 20/20 vision, absolutely πŸ’― At least for the first several β€œintimate” dates. Nigh on impossible in the social pressure cooker I grew up in 😒
