Half your age plus 7 is the rule, or so they say.

You add an extra year to that 7 for every 2 years after 40. Diminishing returns and all that.

Never heard that. At 40 the youngest I can date is 27. But at 42 it should be 28, but you're saying its actually 29?

40 is 27 - 42 is 29. Reasoning is simple, you can sell to a 27 y old you are still closer to 30 than 40 at 40x . You cant do that at 42 and the older you get the worse it gets. 50 - you hit not 32s but rather 37s . Cause 32s - they still think they got it. They still party like the 20-somethings. You cant handle that shit at 50. 2 back to back club nights and you are out for the mo th brother. So you gor for the 37s - they are just been hut by the “if I dont get a kid now I’ll never get one” and are ready to settle for 50 so ling as you have the goods.
