Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/new-data-here-s-how-many-sexual-partners-most-americans-have-had/ar-BB1ob50P
(This study was conducted by Dr. Jenni Skyler, PhD, LMFT, C-PST, licensed marriage and family therapist, certified sex therapist, board-certified sex researcher and a spokesperson for Adam & Eve, a sex toy company that commissioned the study)
So, if you go by median instead of mean, its probably actually lower than 5 (probably 3 ish?), as 45% of people have had one sexual partner or less.
Displayed in another way:
Last time I was on a dating app that had a free commenting ability and like community threads... think it was boo? Some kind of weird, basically instagram but for dating, but everyone just used it like it was instagram...
I'd run into like 23 year olds saying shit like 'this person my age was saying they've got a 200+ body count, is that normal?'
And I'd respond 'It's not impossible, but uh, chances are that they're either lying, or they're literally a sex worker, pornstar or something, that's extremely abnormal.'
I'm 35 and in the 11-25 tranche, more than average, maybe even outside of one StdDev, but its astounding how many people think that just everyone has an average of a different sexual partner for every week or two past the age of 16.
There are people that approximate that, but its pretty damn rare.
Yeah, I'm in the 11-25 range too, which is actually surprising to me. I've two friends who probably are the tier above that and the vast majority of the people I know are below that.
The only person I can think of that may have been even a tier above that did some work in that area, was an attractive girl, and high libido. Definitely an outlier.
TBH though I would've thought the average would've been higher
^jesus.
...just, how?
Edit: Also, if the sequence is adjusted to sum to 100% (≠104), the last line would be more accurate as 0.01%.
