By this standard, 14 is the minimum dating age. As a father, I approve Cflare (talk) 14:49, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

The chart appears to be using the following function for the maximum age: max_age_other <= (your_age - 7) * 2 The max age is determined by the oldest the other person can be before you are too young for them according to the age/2 + 7 rule.108.162.216.100 17:20, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
