minus-squaremarzhall@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·1 day agoDivide the older person’s age by 2 and add 7. That’s the youngest person they can date without being creepy about it. This rule is commonly cited, but is also completely meaningless, as a social construct.
minus-squareredlemace@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 day agoDon’t apply that when the oldest is younger than 14 … It becomes weird /s
minus-squareLumidaub@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 day agoTaking this half-serious for a second, it still works. 12/2 = 6+7 = 13. Since they’re the older one, the other person is younger than 13, thus they can’t date them. (Two consenting adults can do whatever they like)
