  Hah. I know likely comedic misunderstanding but, in case it was not clear, the 27-year-old pedo was the gross one.

    Don’t worry, I got what you meant. I assume the other poster did as well, but had to make the joke haha.

  They deserved it. They should have known to wait 13 years to date a 14 year old. The equation is 1/2 your age +1.

    … The formula is 1/2 your age + 7 tho.

    So for that 27 year old dating a teenager it would certainly not be okay. 27/2=13.5+7 which i would generously round down to 20 years of appropriate minimum age.

    27/2+1=14,5 so don’t think i can agree with this ancient wisdom.

      They got the formula wrong.

      Half your age +7 is the correct one. Works surprisingly well.

        it’s transcended “works well” to “has literally become the cultural standard,” IMO.
