So, the majority of my coworkers are married or engaged, so they (mostly the guys) are routinely trying to fix me up (with their brothers, etc.) After I told them I wasn't about to date someone 30 or older, I was given this equation:
your age ÷ 2 + 7 = the age of someone you can date
So, I did the math:
22 ÷ 2 + 7 = 18
22 + 18 = 40
40.
At this point, I collapsed into horror-stricken, tears-streaming-down-my-face laughter that continued for a good 3-4 minutes. Just as I stopped, one of my supervisors came by and asked why I was crying. Which started the laughter/crying again. Needless to say, my coworkers got a big kick out of this.
They decided the equation only works for how much younger you can date, thus proving that I should date their 30-year-old friends/relatives.
(30 ÷ 2 + 7 = 22)
I happen to disagree.

You've got the equation wrong. The end result isn't the difference in age; it is the age.
Your second equation is correct. The proper age range that you can date and still be generally societally acceptable would be 18-30.

come on! dooo it!
(unless you're going to come down here and meet adrian!)
this made me laugh. i don't really get the equation, though. i never claimed to be good at math.
i agree with d.wo. that is for the younger age. for older is subtract 7 then double. so 30 is the right upper age. but yeah, stay a little closer!
Hahaha. I was just thinking about 40 year-olds. Yuck. We wouldn't be friends....
as long as they're wearing cute sweaters...i am pro-old-man dating.
