The brainrot is real, even with "old hags". My ex was 3 years younger than me, but she was an avid tiktok scroller. I was often being shown and taught about new "memes" that everyone promptly forgot about by the next week.

people both younger and older than me talk like this and I just want to go anywhere else every time I hear it
No cap
I once made the mistake of dating someone 12 years younger than me (she was 25). Man, what a mistake, nevermind the cultural differences, her emotional maturity was....intolerable, and this from a person I'd considered a friend for a year already. It was the first and last time iv ever done that.
OP doesn't understand what cultural progression is. Of course different people gonna do stuff differently as time progresses, the class she was when you where in high school is just irrelevant.
This is the case where op just has skill issue, and is stuck in the past like a boomer he is.
When you call someone born in the late 1990s a boomer though. It might be "hip" or "trendy" to do. But Boomers were born in the 50s man. Young kids calling adults from different generations "Boomers" just makes you sound like you didn't pay attention in history class.
Born in the 1900s? What'd you do before they invented fire? Ride dinos?
Ironic...
I'm 34 dating a 25 year old myself. Which I checked, it passes the "Half your age plus 7" test
(34 / 2 = 17 + 7 = 24) Sometimes I still feel weird about it though
I'm just a bit older, but been there.
I could never get past it though. I have a daughter too, and it really just takes one experience where they really remind you of your kid and... yeah, I don't think I can do this y'all.
"My girlfriend did this test and I think its broken? Her minimum age is higher than her starting age"
@ 30 22 feels waaay too damn young. tf am I even gonna talk to this person about? I'm a decade in to a high stress high reliability industry. I'm starting to get ~~Greg~~ grey hairs! I make jokes about all the child rapists I met while working for the state! Too much happened in that 8 years between us. Too damn much.
God damn it Greg!
Can't fathom calling a 28 year old a hag 💀
It's a similar joke to calling 30-yos boomers
My man just wants to fuck children.
Late-stage brainrot
You haven't seen the 28 year olds Anon dates
They're 48 in crackhead years.
Meth does some wild shit to a person’s looks but heroin addicts can look just as fucking gnarly

When did we as a society give up on the "½ X +7" minimum dating age formula?
When we decided to mind our own business and stop moralizing other people’s relationships based on our personal feelings.
What's interesting is this rule apparently originated from the early 1900s.
Exactly, this "rule" is really just equivalent to other forms of snake oil there is. It is baseless and completely made up.
Just FYI, this rule falls apart after a certain age (in the 60s or 70s).
Nah I think it holds up. Bill Belichick, 73, was in the news for dating a 24 year old and it's not only as creepy and gross, but also like she's taking advantage of him by inserting herself into his interviews.
If he were dating a 43 year old, I don't think anyone would be nearly as concerned.
That's not the only thing that falls apart in your seventies, eyyyy
This reminder me for some reason of how my grandfather cheated on his wife a few years ago and had a heart attack during sex. He's like 80 or so.
When you have heart procedures/ surgery, they tell you, "no sex for 6 weeks with your spouse, 8 weeks with anyone else." Theres science backing up the extra strain/excitement of having sex with someone else
Gotta look after your ticker if you're going to stay active at that age. Condolences and/or congrats to his wife though.
Sigh, ain’t that the truth.
I mean, once you're both above 30 who fucking cares
After that age, the older party is essentially a lottery ticket
