If you didn’t read the original post, stop and go back and read it–because in context, there’s no other way to read it except as “14 or younger”. I know it’s super-fun to try to play “gotcha”, but it’s kind of pathetic to do it without clicking on a link to the post. But since it’s too much bother, let me quote Budget Rapist Cadet from his post #44:

> [@Hun, Please tell me your mom will throw you out for having a boyfriend \_before\_ I become your first](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hun-please-tell-me-your-mom-will-throw-you-out-for-having-a-boyfriend-_before_-i-become-your-first/630522/44):

> Slight epilogue: she told her mom she wanted to be with me and now I’m not allowed to see her any more. I went to her house to try to say goodbye, and her mom told me “Oh, you’re fine, you’ve done nothing wrong. It’s just that she isn’t ready to have a boyfriend; she has developmental disorders, and she isn’t 15 like she told you”.
> 
> …She told me she was 16… I’m not even going to think too hard about that.

She’s not 16, she’s not 15, if she’s 17 or older, the thread doesn’t make sense, ergo she’s charitably 14.
