Read the text 3 times before spotted the 36 on the pic. Where is the useless red circle when you have a brain fart?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I came to the comments for an explanation because I completely missed the age labels, so thank you.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Honestly I've unironically missed the entirety of the image at first, I went directly to the text. And probably a lot of internet-savvy people would, this kind of image is useless decoration 90% of the time and people are trained to not look at it. Same concept as in that research where they asked people to find the current population number on a webpage and they had a very hard time, despite the value being in big red digits or something equally distinctive.

xkcd readers remembering 8 billion comic id numbers:

[–] thedrivingcrooner 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You act like they have to pull it up with a number ID and don't already have every xkcd alphabetically, pneumonically and categorically sorted in their bookmarks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I can find most of them by googling. XKCD seems to have their SEO down pretty well.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Amazing, there really is an xkcd for everything

[–] ericisshort 77 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s a ridden hard and put away wet 36.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is a "meth as a career" 36.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the second time this week I’ve ever heard this phrase in my entire life. I feel like I know what it means but I’m afraid to ask

[–] Cabrio 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a horse riding addage, a horse ridden hard gets dirty and messy, put away wet means it doesn't get cleaned. Basically a dirty worn old looking horse.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ohhhh. Oh. That was not what I was thinking at all. Lmao

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I think you and I are thinking the same thing. Guess we don’t ride horses.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think it's more the riding gear than the horse. You'll get a rotten saddle pretty quick when the leather gets waterlogged and not taken care of.

Homeboy is HAGGARD for 36! That man is at least 65.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a 36 year old as seen by an 8 year old, which appears to be, as I suspected, the age of wikihow authors.

[–] MajorHavoc 15 points 1 year ago

LOL. Yeah. That dude in the picture took her age, added 7 years, doubled that and then lied about his own age.

[–] PutangInaMo 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Idk I'm 36 and this checks out

Good advice from 1901. Especially the bit about not marrying women older, taller, or wealthier than you. Especially all 3. Even if she's like 1 day older, 1 inch taller, or $1 wealthier than you. You gotta man up and not tie that knot!

Thank god for that "/S"

These were originally labeled "56" and "17" because a Libertarian made the image.

[–] RojoSanIchiban 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

42-year-old, here. Late-20s-hotties, give me a ring.

Whaddya mean, "what does ring mean?"

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They will not say “what does ring mean?” They’ll look you in the eye and shout “I don’t understand your dated cultural references old man!!”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

"you know, dial me up..."

"...dial?"

[–] Resol 19 points 1 year ago (14 children)

And if you're 18, you can only date someone who is exactly 18. Can't go any lower or any higher.

Idk who told this to me, but what a weird contradiction. I guess it sorta makes sense.

[–] Iron_Lynx 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Nope. If your age minimum for a partner y is determined by your age x with the function:

y = 1/2 x + 7

then the point where y = x is at y - 7 = 1/2 x. Setting y to x leads us to x - 7 = x / 2, which happens at x = 14.

At x = 18, y = 18/2 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16.

Relatedly, if we invert the function, y - 7 = 1/2 x, thus 2y - 14 = x, which gives us the theoretical maximum for a possible partner. If a possible partner is older than that, you'd be understood to call them a cougar, or whatever the male equivalent is.

I believe now if you are 18 you need to consult with a lawyer before dating.

If both parties are 18 and above, it is none of our business. Many men are into cougars and many women like sugar daddies. Whatever floats their boat.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Legally, yes. You can't and shouldn't prevent them from dating.

But, it's still creepy, it's usually still predatory, and there can be a huge power imbalance. Basically, the main thing is whether either person can easily leave at any time - often the younger one can't.

[–] LonelyWendigo 9 points 1 year ago

I don't know man. If at 50 I ran into a 20 something that was into dating me, I'd feel more like prey than a predator. But, who am I kidding? If the roles were reversed and I was a 20 something encountering a 50+ cougar, I'd still feel like prey. It's definitely all about power dynamics, but I don't think making assumptions about adult people's situations based on age alone is appropriate or helpful.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

How is that any different than 18 year olds getting an apartment together and being too broke to easily move out if needed? And there are plenty of older people in the same boat financially. In fact most people live paycheck to paycheck.

I guess what you really mean is that poor people should only date other poor people, to make it a fair power balance. /s

41 dating 25, we're both happy but guess I should hand myself in somewhere ;~;

But yeah definitely looking younger than 36 based on these standards 😅

Makes you wonder whether there is a dating rule "based on science".
