There's 1300 reviews on this phrase, and no one has managed to figure out the reverse of this rule? Surely my town wasn't the brightest of the lot?
If you're 40, 27 and younger is skezy, as 40/2+7 = 27.
If you're 40, 53 and older is skezy, as 40*3/2-7 = 53.

Get the Act your age, not your shoe sizemug. 
Derived from the half-your-age-plus-seven rule. Used to define the oldest that a romantic interest can be before the relationship is considered indecent. This rule is considered more accurate than the your-age-plus-half-your-age-minus-seven rule, which in some cases conflicts with the half-your-age-plus-seven rule.
Jackie and Dan were mutually attracted, but Jackie waited until she turned 21 to make a move on the 28-year-old Dan, thereby making it acceptable under the your-age-minus-seven-times-two rule.

Get the your-age-minus-seven-times-twomug. A convenient rule to define the youngest that a romantic interest can be before the relationship is indecent. Widely referred to and used, the rule has merit for usefulness. The full version states: "if you halve your years then add seven, you'll have the youngest decent age for a partner; if you double your years then subtract seven, you'll have the oldest decent age for a partner".
However it's somewhat flawed thanks to the poor mathematical ability of its authors -- it gives a different result depending on whether it is worked out for a younger or older partner.

26-year-old Barbara waited patiently until Jack turned 20, fulfilling the half-your-age-plus-seven rule, before pursuing him romantically.
