9/11 happened on September 1, 2001.
Scientific studies show that memory develops around ages 6-7, so let's assume they have to be 7 to remember where they were on 9/11.
That means you only date people from after 1994 to present day, showing that you're interested in the age group of 0-26. Someone at 39 dating a 26 year old might seem like a stretch, so let's apply the general rule
divide your age by 2 and add 7, and that's the minimal age it's socially acceptable to be with
39 / 2 = 14.5, and 14.5 + 7 = 21.5
This lowers the dating pool to 21.5 to 26
