Unbelievably 17 is the age of consent in some States. Except in the South where it can be as low as your mom.

27 / 2 = 13.5 + 7 = 20.5
Apparently its ok. Idk how many people heard of the “half your age + 7” rule of thumb.
Jerry Seinfeld dated a 17 year old when he was like 38 which is way worse and he just kinda… got away with it?

I have a very general rule. 25 and older are all fair game, no matter your age.

Yeah, I feel like after 30 age gaps in dating aren’t even talked about.

It mostly works, though at the early edge it’s a little dicey. I’m not sure I’m cool with a 20 y.o. dating a 17 y.o. Maybe require a firewall between high school and college, excepting HS seniors dating college freshmen.

I’m amazed how well the 1/2+7 rule of thumb works, it seems like it shouldn’t match up so well with the limits of what I see as acceptable

The thing that sucks is every time I tell someone this shit in some circles I get flamed to hell. We need to fucking excise the prudes from the left.
