    Read the text 3 times before spotted the 36 on the pic. Where is the useless red circle when you have a brain fart?

      I came to the comments for an explanation because I completely missed the age labels, so thank you.

      Honestly I’ve unironically missed the entirety of the image at first, I went directly to the text. And probably a lot of internet-savvy people would, this kind of image is useless decoration 90% of the time and people are trained to not look at it. Same concept as in that research where they asked people to find the current population number on a webpage and they had a very hard time, despite the value being in big red digits or something equally distinctive.

      When it’s concerning a brain fart, should it instead be a nice green cloud-shaped circle around the relevant part?

        It’s a horse riding addage, a horse ridden hard gets dirty and messy, put away wet means it doesn’t get cleaned. Basically a dirty worn old looking horse.

      It’s a 35 year old as seen by an 8 year old, which appears to be, as I suspected, the age of wikihow authors.

        Do you have gray hair? Because that can easily be fixed with dye. I’m around your age and balding. So I shaved my head. Shaved head looks younger than a full head of gray hair.

    Good advice from 1901. Especially the bit about not marrying women older, taller, or wealthier than you. Especially all 3. Even if she's like 1 day older, 1 inch taller, or $1 wealthier than you. You gotta man up and not tie that knot!

    /S

      This but unironically

      source
    • lemming007@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Actually, a good advice in general though. Not many marriages last when the woman is considerably wealthier or older. Not sure about taller, I’ve seen a lot of successfull exceptions.

    These were originally labeled “56” and “17” because a Libertarian made the image.

  • Resol@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And if you’re 18, you can only date someone who is exactly 18. Can’t go any lower or any higher.

    Idk who told this to me, but what a weird contradiction. I guess it sorta makes sense.

    source
    • Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Nope. If your age minimum for a partner y is determined by your age x with the function:

      y = 1/2 x + 7

      then the point where y = x is at y - 7 = 1/2 x. Setting y to x leads us to x - 7 = x / 2, which happens at x = 14.

      At x = 18, y = 18/2 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16.

      Relatedly, if we invert the function, y - 7 = 1/2 x, thus 2y - 14 = x, which gives us the theoretical maximum for a possible partner. If a possible partner is older than that, you’d be understood to call them a cougar, or whatever the male equivalent is.

      source
      • Puffymumpkins@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        My favorite feature of the x/2+7 rule is that it implies you shouldn’t be dating below the age of 14. Run any number lower than 14 through it to see what I mean. You can’t reasonably say a 6 year old should only date people older than 10 and also younger than -2.

      The rule is min: age/2+7, max: age*2-7, 36 -> min: 25, max: 65. 18 -> min 16, max 29.

      source
      • JakenVeina@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The opposite of age/2+7 is (age-7)2, not age2-7. I.E. the min age for a 29-year-old would be 21, not 18, and the age whose min is 18, I.E. the max for an 18-year-old, would be 22.

        source
      • Laticauda@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That max age formula is pointless and contradicts the minimum age formula. For 29 the min age based on the min age equation is 21.5 which I’d say can be rounded up to 22, which sounds more reasonable than a 29 year old dating an 18 year old, which isn’t illegal sure, but I’m sure plenty of people would be raising an eyebrow at it.

        That max age equation would mean that a max age for 14 would be 21. In contrast the min age for a 21 year old is 17.5, which can be rounded up to 18. Yymv on that one in particular, but I’m sure we can all agree that a 21 year old dating an 18 year old is a lot less sus than them dating a 14 year old. The minimum age formula seems fine enough on its own, not necessarily a universal rule but enough of a guideline to go by. If you want to calculate based on the younger age, just re-arrange the formula. With the older age being AgeO and the younger age being ageY, you go from ageY = (AgeO/2) + 7 to AgeO = (ageY - 7)*2.

        You got the order of operations backwards for the max age. It’s (x-7)/2

  • Chickenstalker@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    If both parties are 18 and above, it is none of our business. Many men are into cougars and many women like sugar daddies. Whatever floats their boat.

    • ryathal@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Legally yes. Socially dating someone in the same life stage as you is the line. The half your age plus 7 rule roughly aligns to that.
