      So for reference with updated numbers. She would be 24, and he would be 19…

      (24 * 0.5) + 7 = 19

      Well would you look at that.

          The common wisdom (at least in the US college I attended) for the youngest acceptable age gap for a person is to halve their age then add 7 years. So for a 24 year old, 19 is as young as their partner can acceptably be in a relationship.

            I haven’t personally heard this math, and I think it’s ick and prudish personally. But you’re taking a risk getting into a relationship with someone under 25. She FAFO lol

            Common wisdom my ass. Its stupid is what it is. Relationships are always more complex than a math formula with one variable…

            edit: sry for the crashout. I just really dont vibe with that type of oversimplification, but that doesn’t have anything to do with you. My bad.

              Well, it’s the minimum socially acceptable age.

              A 38 year old dating a 26 year old? I don’t think there’s anything socially unacceptable about that.

              25 though? Well I should just call Chris Hansen right now.

      I don’t know about that. There were some significant glances in that first film. She was giving a vibe. There was something there me thinks…
