Creep Rule

A person's a creep if the age difference between them and their date is greater than half the eldest's current age, plus 7. For example, if a guy is 30, the youngest person he can date without being considered a creep is 15+7=22; younger than that, society looks at the couple sideways.
Dude, you're 45 and dating a 20 year-old? You're a creep!!!! Creep rule is half-your age + 7, my friend. You should date my cousin instead, she's 30 and a freak in bed.
