Obviously I’m talking about two adults, I’m just wondering when it goes from okay to “a bit iffy”, either older or younger

    I was asking if they thought that people under 18 shouldn’t date.

    15 and 16 pair work by the 1/2 + 7 rule, but not by “Anything goes 18+” rule

      “Anything goes 18+” doesn’t exclude the possibility of some things going <18. I think the name of this fallacy is like “denying the antecedent” or something nerdy like that

      I know what you were asking but your question reads as “So you don’t like waffles?”. No-one was saying anything about anyone under the age of 18, only what minimum age is appropriate for anyone who’s already a legal adult. I think 15-17 are fine dating amongst themselves but that’s an age where parental consent is concerned in a lot of places.
