Applying half your age plus seven to 34 gives 24 so it’s exactly one year out from acceptable. Maths.

This has really made me reconsider how I judge people! Such a powerful message.

Bit of a gap but I wouldn’t have thought it was that dodgy.

Now that he’s gone on the defensive and written a song about it and gone to the press I definitely do though.

Streisand effect innit. Good work Luke.

Two very different stages of life really. 10 years is definitely the point where a gap becomes a Gap

Tbh some people on twitter have gone mental about dating someone who is more than 5 years either side of you, which is quite funny

#24

2 and half years when they first met though, imagine that would have been when he was getting the most judgment

#25

Depends on the ages. 21 and 16 is dodgy

#26

Yeah obviously there’s cases where it’s weird like that but being 23 and 34 is none of our business

Although when he is 36 it’s all fine again.

Daft rule

Disagree. As they get older the relative difference between their agrees decreases. By the time he’s in his 70s and she’s in her 60s no one cares. The reason half your age plus seven works is that it takes into account relative gap. How important a twelve year gap is massively depends on how old the people are.

No what I’m saying is when he is 36 she will be 25

So using the silly rule is fine.

I imagine it has a pleasing curve

well I’m no maths guy!

…

oh wait, I mean the age difference

that would be a pleasing curve perhaps idk
