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.
The opposite of age/2+7 is (age-7)*2, not age*2-7. 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.
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.

Don’t you hate it when your 6 year old starts dating those people from the negative mirrorworld? No child of mine I say!
When your six year old starts dating people’s tentative plans to have a child
And a newborn should be dating nobody younger than seven, while also dating nobody older than yet to be born in 14 years 😛
Yeah 14 is fine. 6 year olds shouldn’t be dating anyone anyway

I guess this makes more sense.
I hope my kids don’t go to the same school that you did.
Same.
The rule is min: age/2+7, max: age*2-7, 36 -> min: 25, max: 65. 18 -> min 16, max 29.
The opposite of age/2+7 is (age-7)*2, not age*2-7. 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.
Max dating age limit for 18yo is 22? That doesn’t sound right at all.
“Kids fresh out of high school should not be dating adults that have graduated college” sounds roughly right to me.
Seems fine. It would raise some eye brows but it’s literally the max acceptable.
