The rule as I see it is she’s got to be old enough to be _your_ mom. Thus, a 40-year-old with a teenage kid doesn’t count unless you yourself are a teenage kid. Exactly. It would be silly for me to call Jessica Alba a MILF when I’m old enough to be _her_ father. Which I guess would make me a FILF. In more ways than one. ---

That’s basically the idea. The idea is that if you ever had an opportunity to actually have sex with your favorite celebrity, it would be a virtual fantasy anyway so it wouldn’t “count”. It became popular after there was a _Friends_ episode about the concept. ---

I don’t buy that a MILF’s status is based off of your own age. MILFs are ladies in their late 30s and beyond who have a child. When I’m eighty, I could and will lust after MILFs that are 38 - not 98. That’s ridiculous. ---

At the very least, I think that a MILF has to be old enough to be the mother of someone who could reasonably be sexually attracted to them. So probably late 30s at the youngest, more likely 40something. ---

When I’m eighty, I could and will lust after MILFs that are 38 - not 98. That’s ridiculous. Oh, I’ll be lusting when I’m 80 too, don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I’ll be more inclined to call the 38-year-old a “young mother” rather than a “MILF.” 😉 I look at the whole “MILF” concept as sort of a high school thing, and once you become an adult yourself, that ship has pretty much sailed. It’s just semantics, though, really… ---

As Wheelz wrote, it’s usually young men who talk about MILFs. But the idea of a MILF not being age contextual is also ridiculous. Unless you have some fetish, there’s no difference in being attracted to a 38 year old woman who has a kid and a 38 year old woman who doesn’t. Saying one’s a MILF and one isn’t is silly. ---

You will (give me 50 years). It’s a very recent term. Most people were introduced to it in the first American Pie flick. > [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > But the idea of a MILF not being age contextual is also ridiculous. Unless you have some fetish, there’s no difference in being attracted to a 38 year old woman who has a kid and a 38 year old woman who doesn’t. Saying one’s a MILF and one isn’t is silly. There’s a huge difference! You don’t think having kids profoundly affects a woman mentally and physically? Ignoring his comments on girls, I like Louis CK’s standard for a [woman](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdKlB0XqB-w)(read MILF). ---
