"Half, plus seven" is the age-old dating rule for dudes. It justifies the dating of younger women, within reason. The formula begins with each dude's age (for example, 22). That age is halved (22/2 =11), and 7 is tacked on to the divided result. Therefore, a 22 year old male may legitimately date an 18 year old female, a 25 male may date a female of 19.5, and a 30 male may date a female of 22. While there is no technical ceiling on this social anthropological formula, there is a point at which common sense takes over, and it just becomes disgusting. For instance, this formula should not be used to justify a 60 year old man dating a 37 year old female.
Half plus seven examples:
Guy's age: 20. Formula: (20/2)+7 = Minimum acceptable age of female: 17.
Guy's age: 25. Formula: (25/2)+7 = Minimum acceptable age of female: 19.5

1. Crazy; mentally ill; insane.
2. Really stupid.
1. You hear what Joe did? He choked his girlfriend with her own tampon! That kid is half-past seven!
2. You beat me, one-on-one? Shit, you must be half-past seven!

Original definition: A man is most attracted PHYSICALLY to a woman half his age plus seven. (Rule of thumb).
Modern twist invented by frustrated younger guys: Minimum age that a woman must be for an older man to romance her.
He's infatuated with her , and she lacks any interest in him, so he cites this debunked "half plus seven rule" to justify his frustration with the guy that she's dating.

A rule the specifies the youngest person that a person of either sex can date without it being inappropriate. The rule is always calculated by the older person's age.
Kristi: I got asked out today by a guy who's 30.
Jason: Well, you are 22 so it fits the half-plus-seven rule...

basically the idea that an age gap is fine, as long as the younger is half the olders age plus seven years.
"Dang doesn't she look a little young for Jim?"
"Well, ya know what they say, Half + Seven."
