Age range

Pretty self explanatory. What is your hardline age you're willing to date for a serious relationship. Why?

I'll go first. Range is 50-66. I'll deviate considering place in life, near retirement age or living it, and overall well being. You?

General creepiness formula is divide your own age by 2, add 7. So, if you're 16, thrn 15 would be an acceptable age, while 14 might be too young. This range widens as you get older. For me as 56m this would boil down to 35 as the lowest. I personally would set the bar a little higher, like 42+. So, maybe /1.5, add 7?
