because standard error is a real thing that exists. moreover, sampling methodology. The fact that he went after the size and not the sampling methodology to try to "AHA! GOTCHA!" the study proves that he doesn't know much about stats.

What is the sampling methodology used in this specific study if you are so intelectually superior?

Because that's the way statistics/inference works?

There have been fundamental truths discovered about how human cognition works in studies of under 10 people. Studies that have found fundamental truths about how the brain works with two monkeys. How big the sample size in comparison to the population doesn't matter.

Your studies are irrevelant to the current subject. The divorce rate of people with even the same age is approximately 50% even among people the same age and 40% for Canada. The divorce rate varies a lot among all countries. You are comparing cognitive studies. Something that can be objectively observed as a species to relationships that changes a lot based on social norms and conditioning.

What point do you think you're making here?

Why would a 3000 samples accurately represent the whole world?

COVxy posted...

Nah, total population size isn't what matters here. Sample size affects the precision of the estimate. And so you choose your sample size based on how much precision you think you need to make the inference.

You are trying to make the claim that the sample is probably biased by being from a single state. That's a different claim. One which could be true, but i have no a priori reason to believe it is.

How many countries are there in the world? How many states are there in the United States?

Exactly my current situation. Starting dating when she was 28

I assume that's a joke

I think the /s is meant for sarcasm

COVxy posted...

Fun fact, the size of the population literally doesn't matter. That's not how sample size considerations are made.

It does matter when it comes to this. That's a sample based on only one state from the United States. You also need to take into account almost 50% of marriage end up in divorce in the United States according to stats

it wasnt a marriage stat.

it was a statistic of the age range was most likely to break up and it pretty much came to the conclusion that all relationships are more successful the closer you are in age.

Also divorce rates are being skewed because old statistics show it at 50% and Millenials and newer gens arent rushing into marriages or families.

New reports show that divorce rates for couples close in age is under 20%

3000 couples?

Which means 6000 couples out of how many?

There's about 7.75 billion people in the world.

There's about 7.75 billions people in the world and about 330 000 people in the United States and it was solely done in one state. 3000 couples which equate to 6000 people is an INCREDIBLY small sample when it comes to this

I4NRulez posted...

Yes it is, statistics show its destined to fail though.

but they are both adults and its their right to choose if they want to work on it or not.

Those statistics does not take into account couples that have failed that were the same age or never married. The failure of marriage even among the same age is very close to 50% as well

yeah it's fucking silly, i've seen people freak out over like a 5 year difference between people who are both past their early 20s, or basically stating that anyone who even remotely has a creative or social media following shouldn't date someone who consumes their content

That person deleted their tweet. But this one I think was one of the dumbest I've ever read

It's specific to women under 30 and straight men that date them. With this in mind, you can easily see who is driving this crap.

The true psychology of the white knight.

I understand finding 40 and 18 concerning, but come on if two people could have been in their 20s at the same time, it's not creepy or weird

YourDrunkFather posted...

Idiots online have been trying to push the idea that you can groom or essentially commit statutory rape on adult women for awhile now.

And the age difference doesn't even need to be that huge. It can be something like 24 and 30. Barely anybody takes the word seriously anymore because of them since they watered down those terms so much. In their heads, they are the new Chris Hansen, but there's a lot of people who were actually groomed that rightfully feel offended by the trivialisation of it

There are weirdos that believe that any petite woman is a coded child. So Biles despite looking exactly like a 22 year old woman because that's what she was is somehow presenting as something else. It's weird af

Also, I'm a huge McKayla Maroney fan. If I ever get a chance, I'll ask if we can all do a double date.

Omg... I remember the "minor coded" tweet that tons of morons agreed with. cringe/10

Sick melty lmao

That power imbalance crap is just a ridiculous cope. The average Straight women actively look for men with a power imbalance over them whether it's money, height, muscle mass.

Also relationship with power imbalances are not inherently unethical. A black person is more likely to experiment discrimination and you would not oppose interacial marriage due to "power imbalances" would you? I also have seen "relationship between a youtuber and a fan is wrong due to power imbalance" are you like supposed to have the same amount of followers to date?

I also have read recently the the brain of neurodivergent people with ADHD can take up to 10 more years to fully develop than a neurotypical. Would you oppose the relationship between a neurotypical and a neurodivergent because of that?

Power imbalances exist in every relationship, the important thing is communication, setting boundaries and not abusing said imbalance

The internets obsession with calling everyone a pedo is absurd

This is sad because it actually water down the term, make less people take it seriously and create a smokescreen for pedos and ephebs for their crimes

Damn. She got the patience of a side. Poor her.

Having that knowledge in itself feel like a big crime. Can someone make me forget that I learned that today?

I feel like a massive creep googling this, but apparently you require to be married before having sex and well the age of marriage is...

I cant even imagine getting outraged over a damn score that someone gave to a video game.

F***in bug-brains.

Some people unironically tried to cancel him for this. If I remember well, the game was not even officially released yet.

I think it's funny how they unironically say crap that having lgbt characters is "foRcInG pEopLe iNto lGbT". Like as if someone forced you to watch a movie. Don't like it, don't watch it

Also, I have yet to see any lgbt people doing that.... however I have seen straight people trying to coerce lgbt into being straight(gay conversion therapy anyone?)

As long as you don't live in Indonesia or Tunisia, you're good.

This is kinda disturbing how many countries set it at 14 or lower

I kinda forgot that the internet was outraged by a game receiving a great score. This is kinda proof that outrage culture is not a new thing

I don't necessarily agree with that rule. When I started dating my current gf, she was a little outside that rule (just by like a year). Now she is just inside it.

But I had known her for 3 years before we started dating, and I held off on dating her even though I knew she was interested because I had to be sure I wouldn't simply hurt her.

I guess I am saying that it shouldn't be a rule, but people need to have heightened awareness of their different stages and everyone needs to be completely open with intentions.

Well... technically I broke it by one year... for a few months. But I feel like while people say "the rule" as a joke, it kinda fit the "stages of life" where people are. Usually the younger can catch up to the older easily. Obviously couples that are outside "the rule" can work, but I think it gives a decent range

I'd probably follow the half your age plus seven rule tbh. At her age, she is kinda figuring out who she is while you won't really have this problem with someone who's at least in their mid 20s

Worse.

It's about politics and bitter 30-40+ year olds congregating, patting themselves on the back for their political views and rallying against invisible boogeymen and "phobes" because it gives their empty lives purpose and belonging, occasionally talking about dating and/or sex because they realized most IRL outgrow that talk in favor of legitimate experiences discussion of which the average CEman has none--

It's good for me to visit CE as a cautionary tale. Because if I end up like the average CEman by the time I'm 25, I might just hang myself because I will know I'm a failure.
Thank the stars I'm on track not to be. But so help me if I ever do...

I swear I see tons of those people all the time claiming any representation that isn't a straight white male is "propaganda", "political" or "shoving down people who aren't straight white male down our throats" but I guess these bigots who don't even have the balls do admit they are homophobic are a product of my imagination

A lot of us got older... also informing ourselves of politics is easier now than when people only had cable tvs

The sad thing is that Trump supporters will see him as a martyr

I am not sure tbh. Bush might have been more articulate, but he was very damaging for m'urica

If you didn't like 1. I don't think you will like this one.

It personally sounds exhausting to me lol

I saw some girl say her brother(or cousin) whatever was brainwashed by Alex Jones' cult. I do wonder, how do you help people to get out of a cult?

Well?

When you go to sleep in a game, sometimes your character struggle to get asleep and get tons of cramps in the morning

Your turn

Some people unironically say that on social medias. It looks fun, but best game? I kinda wanna try it, but I'd also like to get a physical copy. I cannot wait

Dunno, but everyone seems to love it. Gamefaqs hate everything so I will make my own opinion. I kinda want the physical copy though

How cute that you think it isnt planned that way from the get-go. As George Carlin eloquently puts it regarding the state of politics in this country, Its a big club and you aint in it.

Ok? Well... if George Carlin was still alive I think he would probably make a great politician
