      Uh, no no. The rule is “half my age plus seven”. I’ve no idea what your other term is supposed to represent.

        He’s saying it goes both ways. The upper limit is a women who you would be half her age plus 7.

          This “rule” only works for a small set of ages from 14 ~ 30ish

          If you are 14 then the range for “age” is 14 - 14
          If you are 30 then the range for “age” is 22 - 46
          If you are 40 then the range for “age” is 27 - 66

          At 30 the upper level is 16 years different; while it could work it is a big gap to bridge. It only gets worse the older you get.
