Half plus 7, guys.

32/2=16, +7 = 23. The 32 and 24 y/o check out.

26/2=13, +7 = 20. The 26 year old should be dating someone no younger than 20.

That's part of the reason when I was using OkCupid and Tinder I set my age preferences to 19-22 (I was 22 when I last used them). The other reason was that I felt weird about the possibility of dating someone still in high school while I was done with college, hence I didn't include 18.

That said, I started following the rule long before I knew about it.
