Tiogyr:
EDIT: Spent another five seconds thinking about it and here you go.

(2 * Younger Age) - 7 = Maximum age you can date without it being creepy.

So if Dora is 26, then 45 is the oldest she can date if you go by that dumb formula that we've just shown is broken, because a 26 year old dating a 45 year old is creepy as hell.

EDIT #2: Hell, I'm 30 and would feel weird about dating a 26 year old. 28 would only be slightly better because by then it is safe to assume that she'd be done with college stuff too and actually finished growing up (unlike an unbelievable number of people in their 20s that think it is still cool to go to bars that knowingly serve underage kids).

Mr. Doctor:
Hey Tiogyr, the formula you wrote is not the same as the one I make, I can go from 50 to 32 with the original formula but with yours I can't go from 32 to 50

The one I wrote that was the reverse of the old age formula is (younger age -7) * 2


--- Quote from: Doctor Online on 09 Jun 2011, 04:00 ---Where I was getting at is, maybe, just maybe, Dora has similar feelings on the matter. It's never been discussed, but the expressions on her face whenever Jim comes around speaks for the lack of words. I'm reading her expressions as "...this is very uncomfortable." but I could be wrong.

Even if she had te thought "...this is very uncomfortable"... That doesn't need to have anything to do with his age. That situation can still be awkward with a person of the same age just staring at you in silence.

Elysiana:
First, BOMDAS/BODMAS is brackets, orders (exponents), division/multiplication, addition/subtraction (I have no idea what "brackets of multiplication" would be). Also known as PEMDAS and several other things. But the "lowest acceptable dating age" formula has always been half your age plus 7. Nobody has ever claimed that it's a hard and fast rule, it's just an easy way to remember to keep things in perspective.

Second, Dora just entered into a business relationship with Jim. I reeeeally feel uncomfortable with the notion of her entering into a romantic one with him too at this point. It just seems unwise. Also Dora is so cute when she's caught off-guard. I chuckled.

Mr. Doctor:
I think everybody can agree that the formula doesn't really work well... The discussion was just about math :P

--- End quote ---

I was "rocking" (through much ridicule) an entire head of silver by age 14. Completely naturally.

It's very possible.
