Is age just a number? What age is too old or too young to date?

The “Half-Your-Age-Plus-Seven” Rule is sometimes used to decide whether or not the relative ages of individuals in a couple are appropriate. By this Rule, a person would not date someone who is younger than half their own age plus seven. This package provides several functions that apply the Rule to given ages. I (Sydney Lewis) am the original author of this package.

Please note: This package is meant to be silly and NOT to provide any absolute judgement about a couple. Relationships are complicated and a super simple mathematical formula about one aspect of the individuals involved shouldn’t hold too much weight. Cheers to love and connection at every age! ❤️

Functions

lower_limit : provides the lower age limit for a given age

upper_limit : provides the upper age limit for a given age

age_range : provides the appropriate age range for a given age

check_couple : provides a verdict about a couple, given their two ages

ages_firstok : provides the ages when a couple would first meet the rule, given their birth dates

Examples:

lower_limit(40)

[1] 27

check_couple(30, 45)

[1] TRUE
