Found this question on an Instagram reel as dating advice for girls if they don't know what to talk about and that men have a lot of opinions about this. Let's see if she's right.

I came in here for this comment. When the choices are "criminal fighting the immensity of the ocean", "guy named for all the cows and famous for shooting/being shot by other cow guys", and literal nobility, it's a solid deal. Of all three, one has the lowest chance of death, highest quality of life, and you pretty much got to do whatever you wanted depending on the era. The law that let you kill offending lower classes for twenty days of house arrest was only struck off the books in the mid 19th century.
