Not only an adult. She's the freaking Princeton valedictorian.
Being valedictorian is not indication that she has any social or emotional intelligence.
And while we've somehow decided that 18 is the age you become an "adult," the brain isn't done maturing until about 25. I imagine she'll easily regret this decision by that point...

Both of these women have been diagnosed as bi-polar. Half the time they are deliriously happy, the rest of the time they are having *** with an old man (respects to Norm Macdonald).
I respect the norm joke but you have to get it right. Catherine zeta jones has been diagnosed as bipolar. Half of the time she is happy the other half she has to suck an old mans c.o.c.k.
Ivies Suck said The 1/2 plus 7 rule should be written into law.
it isn't a rule.
some guys did a study on age difference in courting couples and they found that this formula explained the results. so it is an algorithm for determining an average age difference between around 600 American couples forty years ago.
there is no reason to suppose that anyone should take it seriously today.
cheers.
I don't know what you think the 1/2 + 7 rule is, but it's not supposed to be some sort of statistical thing...it's just a common social norm that you shouldn't date some younger than 1/2 your age plus 7. For a 72yo, that means he could get away with a 43yo, not a 25yo. Personally I think it's a great rule; gives some leeway for people of different ages who want to be together, but keeps pervs in check.
She must have had a poor father figure, if any during her childhood. This is female psychology 101. I could go into further detail but basically she now has to compensate in adult life.
I thought it came from Elijah Muhammed (Malcolm X's one time mentor). But maybe it predated him.
Well, becoming Princeton valedictorian shows that she is wicked smart. When you dominate over every other English major at Princeton, you are incredibly smart, but note too that she would have had to take about 3/4 of her classes in other subjects, cover the distribution requirements, and get an overall GPA higher than anyone else in her class. But, you say, that doesn't mean that she has social or emotional intelligence, right? That's where the Rhodes Scholarship comes in. You don't get that just because of GPA and athletic achievements. You also have to pass the interview/cocktail party tests. Bill Clinton is just one example of the kind of speaker you have to be to get one.
Lif's main goal is banging 20something women. As you age this just gets clearer.
Just an observation
If my options are an old Princeton professor or a LetsRun bottom feeder, I'll tolerate the wrinkles. You all are cray cray.
A lot of states are actually moving away from a strict age limit. There's a shift for statutory rape to only be applicable if the age gap is greater than about 4 or 5 years, assuming the parties involved are consenting, neurologically normal, etc. So the 19 and 17 doesn't really apply anymore

Only in cases where it is already statutory. (e.g - a 19 and 17 year old) not a grown woman and man... You are truly a confused person when it comes to reality based on all of your posts on these boards.

Not only an adult. She's the freaking Princeton valedictorian.
Usually these high academic types are the dumbest when it comes to street smarts and emotional availability is generally lacking.

One of the great things about these January December romances is that if it goes bad, she will not have to put up with it for long.
Except of course for her legal fight with any of his current heirs who are pissed that someone of their child's age just muscled in on their inheritance.
You linked to a scene with Matt Damon outsmarting a Harvard grad student in "Good Will Hunting," which he wrote with Ben Affleck as evidence that degrees in English literature mean nothing when you can just check out the books at a public library, as he says in the movie. Matt Damon was an English major at Harvard, but left 12 credits shy of a B.A.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Damon

She has degrees in English Literature. It's not like were talking about Einstein here. She spent the last seven years of her life and hundreds of thousands of dollars studying books people wrote a hundred years ago that you can check out at your local public library.

Good for her, and him.
She knows what she wants, and she got it.
They both know the risks, the biggest being that the guy will die probably when she's still in her 40's.
But they are both adults, they know what they did. Wish them luck.
My 2cents.
For sure. Good luck to a dirty old man and a young woman suffering from psychological problems.
