Anything over three school grades difference is disgusting.

That doesn't scale. A 40 year old person can date a 44 year old person.

The most common rule of thumb you hear is age/2 + 7. So for a 20 year old it indeed 3 "school grades" (more commonly known as years) but for a 30 year old it's 22

It was a joke on how young people think about age difference.
