Violating the Rule

I have a friend who has a rule for determining how young a person you should date. Take your age, divide by two, then add seven. So if you're 30, the youngest person you should date is 22. If you're 50, a 32 year old is as young as you should go. If you're 59, the person should be no younger than 36 1/2. John Henry doesn't come close.

Red Sox owner John Henry is engaged to girlfriend Linda Pizzuti.

...

It will be the first marriage for Pizzuti, who has been dating the millionaire businessman since she was introduced to him last summer at Alibi, the bar at the Liberty Hotel. Henry, the 59-year-old founder of the Boca Raton-based investment firm John W. Henry & Co., has one daughter from his 14-year marriage to Peggy. He was also married once before.

Pizzuti, 30, is from Lynnfield, and she and her family are in the real estate development business. She's been a near-constant companion of the Sox owner in recent months, traveling with him to Europe and hosting parties on his 164-foot yacht.

At least she'll be a rich widow before she's too old.

The key word there is "millionaire." The rule gets tossed for them.

Hey he's known her since June - what could possibly go wrong?

Hopefully in ten years John doesn;t die from low blod pressure - 70 over 40!

I think I first heard the "half your age plus seven" in The Autobiography of Malcolm X. I've heard it a few times since then. If that is where I heard it, what an odd place for that to have started.

I'm fairly certain that rule comes from Middle Eastern matchmaking traditions. Maybe Jewish, I'm not 100% on that though

Feeling a tad snarky, David? :)

i can't imagine marrying a man oldern your own daddy.

uck

and i seriously doubt an old man like him is "banging" any kind of ***** every day.

shrug

but you sure are right about a whole lot of women valuing $$$ most of all

The initial attraction was obviously his money. However, this one is not as ridiculous as some of these stories. I mean she is 30. Were not talking a kid just out of high school. IIRC, Anna Nicole was in her early 20's and her millionaire was 90.

It is all about timing. If they met ten years earlier (20 and 49) then it would be ugly.

I just read that she went to MIT - she's not some Anna Nicole looking for a ticket up. Not bad, Mr Henry. A baseball team, a mansion in fl, a yacht, a race team and a hot smart chick to share it with. Some guys have all the luck...
