My Nan and Grandad met when they where 16 and 18 and where married 40+ years, sadly he died several years ago, so it is possible for 2 young kids to form a life long relationship.

I hate that formula!!!! That puts anything teen based out of my reach all of a sudden!

Yes, and a good thing that is too. Then again, if you take a standard margin of error ±10%, your... ahem... "target" minimum becomes 18 again.

I would say yes but only just. I'd love to be in his shoes.

This just goes to show that 16 into 21 does go.

Did i mention she was a nurse ?

The rep when i was in 6th form for that was immense

Pictures of the 21yr old required before further contemplation of the subject

What about a 19 year old guy and a 28 year old woman?

Pure win, she'd ride better than shadowfax due to nearly being at her peak!

I think we've all been there lol. When I was 27, I was "involved" with much younger girls. I learned my lesson though and found a woman the same age. I've never had it better!

I haven't been there yet. Then again, I'm only 24. I don't think I'm old enough to go there yet.

She must have a face like a drowned sea-bass.

Is the golden rule always plus 7 or is it a third of the oldest age?

According to QI it's half your age +7, regardless of your age.

It doesn't make sense for anyone under like 16 or so though.

14/2 = 7
7+7 = 14

Meaning a 14 year old shouldn't go out with anyone younger than themselves.

Why should it apply to anyone under 16?

So I can date an 18 year old? Happy with that.

Macky · 29 Oct 2009 at 00:02

Cause it's not exactly about marriage is it? It's just a relationship. Some people have serious relationships under 16 and get married later on in life with them.
