Somebody once said “rule of 7” which goes something like this

(Older person’s age)/2 + 7 = cutoff age

So for example 20 year old -> 20/2 + 7 = 17 years old.

Then round up for fractions of course. Seems to kind of fit. I dunno. Just thought it was interesting.

Seems pretty logical.

This seems to be a pretty good rule.

Rule of seven is shit, because it's also used for higher ages.

The rule is heavily used by leftist feminazis to shame men who have a younger partner.

You're 27 - no partner of 20. You're 30 - no partner of 22. You're 36? Not under 25. The idea behind that is that as a 36yo who has now an established career you should not find a beautiful, young woman to have a family with. You are supposed to get married to a single mum in your age group and take care of their offspring.

As an example the GEOTUS was 59 when he married Melania (who was 35). 59/2+7 = 36.5 How dare he!

For older ages I thought it became rule of 5. So 60/2+5=35.

I’m childfree and my autism doctors project that I may not be able to date until my late 20’s or early 30’s. That half your age + 7 rule would destroy me.

Meh, or you could marry when you’re both relatively young?

You can. But also Learn about sexual market value. Sounds worse than it is. Women prime out around mid twenties. Men much later. Makes sense for women to date older men.
