That’s not what’s being said. From the context of an adult dating some, 15/16 is too young unless the older person is really close to that age (18, 19 at a push and I only think like that because I’m from somewhere with an age of consent of 16. Places with AoC of 18 would obviously be skewed older).
When one of the people is on the younger side, the old rule of thumb (age of older person/2+7) is a best practice for what would be considered inappropriate.

I was asking if they thought that people under 18 shouldn’t date.
15 and 16 pair work by the 1/2 + 7 rule, but not by “Anything goes 18+” rule
