Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Wait- what is the x again?

X is your age. So, at 34, you should date people older than 24, since (34/2)+7 < 24+.

Hmm...

If they have tattoos they're legal. This is a much easier formula to remember.

Well, if I followed the rule, my dating range would be 28-64, both extremes of which would creep me out.

By that formula, when I am 36, patrick and I will be perfect for each other. If I can do math.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All I know is that ageofconsent.com was a very useful tool while it was up. Beyond that? Depends on the person. I have not led the sort of life that leaves me with the luxury of saying "Well, he's funny and interesting and sexy and I love his company--but he's too young/old for me."

I don't have the opportunity to start that sentence. I can't imagine finishing it that way.

I try not to think about how old (or, um, not) Brendon Urie is. And I really try not to think about how old I am.

Yes. This.

Leave me alone, Marco Andretti! Can't you see I'm just no good for you?!?!?!

Yeah. Not gonna happen.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Back when I was younger (and thinner), I drew far more attention than I wanted from the twice-my-age-and-lacking-appropriate-boundaries crowd. Who did not take being turned down gracefully. Gaining weight and graying a bit may not do me any favors when I'm the one on the prowl, but it has paid serious dividends in not being perved on.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I personally think you are not a cougar unless you have had a face lift and are wearing a leopard-print camisole to show off your new breasts.

Everybody else who finds younger men attractive is called "able to see."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I concur with Nutty in this matter. Also, a cougar's skin is often tanned to the breaking point.
