I once made the mistake of dating someone 12 years younger than me (she was 25). Man, what a mistake, nevermind the cultural differences, her emotional maturity was....intolerable, and this from a person I'd considered a friend for a year already. It was the first and last time iv ever done that.

What does that mean ? mid fr fr ? doesn't fr mean for real ?

Mid must mean "underwhelming"

And big mood ? that's very obscure

OP doesn't understand what cultural progression is. Of course different people gonna do stuff differently as time progresses, the class she was when you where in high school is just irrelevant.

This is the case where op just has skill issue, and is stuck in the past like a boomer he is.

When you call someone born in the late 1990s a boomer though. It might be "hip" or "trendy" to do. But Boomers were born in the 50s man. Young kids calling adults from different generations "Boomers" just makes you sound like you didn't pay attention in history class.

Born in the 1900s? What'd you do before they invented fire? Ride dinos?

Can't fathom calling a 28 year old a hag 💀

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 9 points 7 hours ago

It's a similar joke to calling 30-yos boomers

My man just wants to fuck children.

You haven't seen the 28 year olds Anon dates

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 36 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They're 48 in crackhead years.

Meth does some wild shit to a person’s looks but heroin addicts can look just as fucking gnarly

I'm 34 dating a 25 year old myself. Which I checked, it passes the "Half your age plus 7" test

(34 / 2 = 17 + 7 = 24) Sometimes I still feel weird about it though

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 hours ago

I'm just a bit older, but been there.

I could never get past it though. I have a daughter too, and it really just takes one experience where they really remind you of your kid and... yeah, I don't think I can do this y'all.

"My girlfriend did this test and I think its broken? Her minimum age is higher than her starting age"

[–] ethaver@kbin.earth 26 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

@ 30 22 feels waaay too damn young. tf am I even gonna talk to this person about? I'm a decade in to a high stress high reliability industry. I'm starting to get ~~Greg~~ grey hairs! I make jokes about all the child rapists I met while working for the state! Too much happened in that 8 years between us. Too damn much.

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 28 points 13 hours ago

When did we as a society give up on the "½ X +7" minimum dating age formula?

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Probably about the time that we decided that a certain age means you're an adult and can, in fact, make decisions for yourself

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 28 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

When we decided to mind our own business and stop moralizing other people’s relationships based on our personal feelings.

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

Exactly, this "rule" is really just equivalent to other forms of snake oil there is. It is baseless and completely made up.

What's interesting is this rule apparently originated from the early 1900s.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 27 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

Just FYI, this rule falls apart after a certain age (in the 60s or 70s).

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 hours ago

Nah I think it holds up. Bill Belichick, 73, was in the news for dating a 24 year old and it's not only as creepy and gross, but also like she's taking advantage of him by inserting herself into his interviews.

If he were dating a 43 year old, I don't think anyone would be nearly as concerned.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 56 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

That's not the only thing that falls apart in your seventies, eyyyy

[–] malware@lemmy.zip 16 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

This reminder me for some reason of how my grandfather cheated on his wife a few years ago and had a heart attack during sex. He's like 80 or so.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta look after your ticker if you're going to stay active at that age. Condolences and/or congrats to his wife though.

I mean, once you're both above 30 who fucking cares

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

After that age, the older party is essentially a lottery ticket
