        Found Leo’s account.

        Seriously though why so hostile about this? Of course it’s made up, it’s a general rule of thumb, and it describes whether people are likely to look at a couple and say, “ew”.

          One day I mentionned this rule while having a dinner with friends. One of them was a woman I met fir the first time.

          It turned out his husband was way older than this rule allowed when they met. And now that the rule is fine, she didn’t felt bad about her husband.

          Seriously, I felt so shitty. Let people loves who they love without discrimination as long as this is consensual between adults.
