HOW YOUNG IS TOO YOUNG???



Well, I overheard two well-heeled ladies chatting on the streetcar this morning discussing if one of their daughters was dating a girl who was too young for her. One of the ladies informed the mother of the craddle-snatching lesbian that Oprah had settled the whole thing recently. She then proceeded to explain how one can determine if someone is too young for you to date --- with math!!! Now, I should tell you that this is the second time I've heard Oprah's math approach to age appropriate dating determination. The first time was on public transit as well, but it was on the 38 Geary Street bus so it wasn's as sophisticated and the conversation did not involve lesbians and rich moms.



Here is how the wealthy lady explained to the concerned mother. (and I suspect this is one of those public conversations would one only hear in San Francisco --- they could care less who was listening and i just love that!)



OK -- so here is how you do it.



Divide your age 2 then add 7. If the object of your affection is younger than that number he/she is just too damned young for you. I don't know. That would mean I could date a 26 year old without guilt.



That just seems odd to me --- and, far too young.



But, what do I know? Oprah is God. Right?
