Lots of people throughout history have connected in relationships that would be considered indecent by this rule. I've always thought it would be best to connect with someone within the range of my own mortality, meaning, I don't want someone so much younger than I am that they would be stuck taking care of an old woman while they were still youthful nor someone so much older than I am that I would outlive them by a long range of years.
I know my view on this colors my thinking. Not everyone wants what I want in life, society etc.
TIL the "half your age plus seven" rule for dating has been around since at least 1901.
