too.young {UsingR} | R Documentation

## What age is too young for a male to data a female?

### Description

In U.S. culture, an older man dating a younger woman is not uncommon, but when the age difference becomes too great is may seem to some to be unacceptable. This data set is a survey of 10 people with their minimum age for an acceptable partner for a range of ages for the male. A surprising rule of thumb (in the sense that someone took the time to figure this out) for the minimum is half the age plus seven. Does this rule hold for this data set?
