August 28, 2007 | Happy Birthday, Baby
Had you been a fly on the wall in our apartment this morning, you would have heard the following:
"But I am older than you! Men don't live as long as women, so in...uh,"man years", I'm older! It's like dog years! I'm going to do the math* and let you know!"
"I'm going to tell everyone I'm 35 and then get offended if they say I don't look young for my age."
If you haven't already guessed, it's the boyfriend's birthday today. He doesn't have a blog where you can leave comments, but he does have a flickr account if you'd like to wish him well. Or, as always, feel free to leave a comment here.
*I am eagerly awaiting the results to see exactly how much older he is in "man years".
Younger dudes is where it's at! My bf is 5 years younger than me, so when i did the 1.0691 math, we were closer to only being a year apart! Ha ha ha!
Thanks!
If you divide your age by 1.0691 you will get your age in man years. And, if you multiply 1.0691 by your man's age, you'll get his age in woman years.
It's pretty depressing, really.
I got that number using the life expectancy data for all races here:http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005148.html which apparently got it from the cdc.
Happy Birthday! I hope someone who is *younger* than you makes you cupcakes! My hubby is 2 1/2 years older than me. I wonder how old he is in man years..... I thought he was 35 when he was 28. That might be a clue ;)
Happy Birthday, C!
I believe in dating/marrying younger men. Mine is only 10 months younger than me, so he must be a LOT older than me in man-years! ;) (I'm curious to find out how much older, too, ha.)
