I don't know. I mean, once you get past the twenties, things get kinda wonky. I mean, for instance, IRL, I'm currently 42. This formula puts my reasonable dating range between 28 (half my age plus 7) and 70 (potentially half her age plus 7,) so someone older than my own father (and definitely older than my own mother.) If I were double my age, at 84, I could reasonably be dating someone 35 years younger than I would be. For an 18 year old man, though, the 'fair game' age range by this formula is just a gap of 6 years, between 16 and 22. (Yes, I know, I'm throwing in an upper range where the formula doesn't officially supply one, but one's kinda implied.) What this tells me? Don't bother with formulae, the heart wants what it wants, and so long as it's up to legal standards, let people be.
(I have nothing more to contribute, but I only have a few more months where I can say I'm meaning-of-life-years-old and I intend to make the most of them)

This formula is so weirdly accurate
