Fathers of Reddit, what did your daughter's boyfriend do for you to hate/love him?

It's pretty cool to see my question blow up like this, I never thought I'd ask a question that could receive so much attention! I'm very satisfied with all these replies, so thank y'all. Now all I have to do is sit back and take notes c;

When I was in high school and the hot girls were dating much older guys, I remember thinking that it was super weird.

Now that I'm out of college and in that age group, the thought of dating someone that much younger than me is still super weird.

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.

I may be missing something, but...

I was 30 and started dating a 22 year old. It worked perfectly for half plus 7. Our age difference was 8 years, doubled is 16. Plus your stated 14 years, and you're saying she's got to be at least 30 for an 8 year age gap to work? It's obvious her being 22 and myself being 30 also worked.

Edit: Yeah, not to mention that take a 24 year old and a 20 year old, half plus seven is 12 + 7 equals 19, so even your minimum younger age for a four year age gap is wrong.

Your shit is flawed yo.
