What’s the right age difference? My friends set me up on a date with a girl who is 12 years younger to me. I was feeling so uncomfortable all through my dinner with her.

It’s all about the goals and mindset. If you’re able to form a true connection, the twelve years suddenly won’t matter anymore.

What’s the right age difference? Ask Dane Cook.

I think it depends on the two people involved and where they are in life. I was 29 and dated a 44 year old lady for a year; the first 6 months were amazing, the second half less so. It was a great relationship for me because it helped me to basically level up: maturity, palate, style, interests… each situation is unique.

I feel like my people must be here. Everyone on my team is <35 (and I love them) but I’m right on the cusp and officially over the 35 mini hill. Who else has younger team members but is still “young” and doesn’t know what to advise about this age range to the youths ready for some great awakenings that come in this late 30s era?!

I always thought mid life crisis was when you get to mid life and realize you are never going to be all you thought you would be.

I turned out better than I imagined on all dimensions, and I’ve discovered a different kind of midlife crisis. The “ok, so now what?” Crisis.

Tell me someone else has this, and what do you do about it?

Why do partners feel the need to speak when they obviously have very superficial knowledge about the topic? So exhausting pushing back on stupid ideas, needless analysis, unnecessary credit taking attempts and spending time making their input sound coherent with what was already aligned with client.
