The rule to define the youngest that a romantic interest can be before the relationship is indecent.

26-year-old Barbara waited patiently until Jack turned 20, fulfilling the half-your-age-plus-seven rule, before pursuing him romantically.

Other people are getting the reverse rule wrong. It would not be twice your age minus seven; it would be twice (your age minus seven).

- Dude, you're 40 and dating a 27-year-old. Isn't that a bit gross? - Hey, half-your-age-plus-seven. - Oh? So that means you would go for twice-your-age-minus-seven? So for you that would be 73. - Actually, it's twice-the-quantity-your-age-minus-seven. So 66. - ??? - I'm guessing you're too dense to see this algebraically. It's alright; we can take our results and work backwards. 73/2=36.5, and 36.5+7=43.5. However, 66/2=33, and 33+7=40. Got it? - Ah, OK. So you'd go for a 66-year-old then? - Fuck no.

This is a very old rule of thumb: it is the calculation applied to a man's age that provides the age in a woman that he is most naturally attracted to physically. (Things change of course once you begin to actually TALK\! :-o ) In recent years it has been misapplied to mean the lowest age that would be considered "decent" for him to date. This new interpretation of the rule is actually quite bizarre when you consider the remarkable range of maturity among adults of both sexes at all ages.

That 50 year old think's he'll be able to romance that 32 year old. I'm not surprised he's attracted to her - she is the proverbial "half-your-age-plus-seven" - but let's see how far they really go together.

The lower limit on the age of a potential partner for a person over 14, by socially acceptable standards. Used as a rule of thumb. The converse is twice (your age minus seven). The following online calculator makes the math easy and also calculates how long until an UNacceptable relationship becomes acceptable: tinyurl(dot)com/halfpls7

tinyurl(dot)com/halfpls7 Dave: Yeh man, I totally banged that Kath chick last night. John: Are you a pedo?\! She's 15\! Dave: Nah, she's 15 and a half, half-your-age-plus-seven, I'm 17, so half my age is 8.5 and plus seven is 15.5. John: ...Doesn't change the fact that she's my sister...

There's 1300 reviews on this phrase, and no one has managed to figure out the reverse of this rule? Surely my town wasn't the brightest of the lot? If you're 40, 27 and younger is skezy, as 40/2+7 = 27. If you're 40, 53 and older is skezy, as 40*3/2-7 = 53.

No one here seems to know how to write a formula. Half-your-age-plus-seven

Bullshit formula that middle-aged me use to justify porking coeds. If they were consistent about it, they would also advocate being with women using the inverse of that formula: Twice-your-age-minus-seven.

- Dude, you're 40 and dating a 27-year-old. Isn't that a bit gross? - Hey, half-your-age-plus-seven. - Oh? So that means you would go for twice-your-age-minus-seven? So for you that would be 73. - Fuck you.
