half-your-age-plus-seven

The social rule defining the youngest age one may date without it being socially unacceptable (or illegal). To compute the oldest one could date without it being socially awkward, simply subtract seven from one's own age, and multiply by two.

To compute the acceptable age an otherwise inappropriately matched couple would have to be before they could date, find the difference in their age, multiply by two, and add seven to get the age the older partner would have to be.

And remember, always round up when computing the youngest age you can date, and round down for the oldest. You know, just to be on the safe side.

Andy is 23, Betty is 19. Andy wants to know if they should date, so he computes half-your-age-plus-seven (18.5). This is an acceptable relationship.

Christine is 25, Donald is 43. Christine thinks she might be too young for Donald, so she reverses the half-your-age-plus-seven rule (36). This is an unacceptable relationship.

Eustace is 94, Frank is 46. Eustace considers the fact that half-your-age-plus-seven (54) makes this an inappropriate relationship to engage in. She also considers that she will be 110 before her relationship with Frank will be socially acceptable. She then considers the fact that she will be dead by then. Eustace continues on with her relationship with Frank anyway.

half-your-age-plus-seven

The lower limit on the age of a potential partner for a person over 14, by socially acceptable standards. Used as a rule of thumb.

The converse is twice-(your-age-minus-seven).

The following online calculator makes the math easy and also calculates how long until an UNacceptable relationship becomes acceptable:

Dave: Yeh man, I totally banged that Kath chick last night.
John: Are you a pedo?! She's 15!
Dave: Nah, she's 15 and a half, half-your-age-plus-seven, I'm 17, so half my age is 8.5 and plus seven is 15.5.
John: ...Doesn't change the fact that she's my sister...

Half your age plus five

Same as Half your age plus seven, but is the rule in Tasmania.

Alex wanted to date Meg but the 'Half your age plus seven rule stopped them'. However they both moved to Tasmania and because of 'Half your age plus five' rule they were fine.

software version age dating

revealing your age by referring to the old software you used to use

I though he was like 25 but then he told me that he used to use Illustrator 88 ... so using software version age dating he must be at least 40.

Teens are ages 8-19 that's what I consider people say 10-19 or 13-19 but I believe 8 and 9 years olds are starting to be part of Middle School and they are learning sex ed like 10-19 years olds so I will say they are teenagers. These are all of the words for 8-19. Did you find the ward teens are ages 8-19 you can use many of these words that mean the same thing just to refer to which one you're talking about.

half-your-age-plus-seven

Other people are getting the reverse rule wrong. It would not be twice your age minus seven; it would be twice (your age minus seven).

- Dude, you're 40 and dating a 27-year-old. Isn't that a bit gross?

- Hey, half-your-age-plus-seven.

- Oh? So that means you would go for twice-your-age-minus-seven? So for you that would be 73.

- Actually, it's twice-the-quantity-your-age-minus-seven. So 66.

- ???

- I'm guessing you're too dense to see this algebraically. It's alright; we can take our results and work backwards. 73/2=36.5, and 36.5+7=43.5. However, 66/2=33, and 33+7=40. Got it?

- Ah, OK. So you'd go for a 66-year-old then?

- Fuck no.
