It's absurd..



^ this


Its mathematical trench warfare..

Neither side is going to relent..

It's the way men used to be.. Ruthless and Unforgiving..




well there are better things to do with all of that testosterone (in my opinion)flowerforyou


I just poured myself a drink and I will relax..




don't mind me - if arguing about relatively flimsy stats is what floats your boat....

you & Spider look cute togetherpitchfork

I just gave you the equation for calculating probability with independent variables..

How is that possibly wrong?

There is no mathematical relation between your hand example and the original post..

That would be like saying the couples could be father and daughter, father and daughter that are in an incestuous relationship or a couple that is dating.

Obviously.. if I chose father and daughter I would have a probability of being 66% correct.

It's absurd..


Honestly, I don't think I can explain it more clearly. The problem is that you are giving each possibility equal weight.

1) Father/daughter
2) Husband/wife
3) Boyfriend/girlfriend

These possibilities aren't equally likely. May-December relationships aren't very common. Saying it's equally likely that the couple is father/daughter as it is that they are husband/wife is absolutely ludicrous.

You are imagining a restaurant where all things are equally probably, no such place exists. It's much more likely for the couples to be father/daughter than the other possibilities. I understand where your confusion is coming from. You think "There are three possibilities, so each is 33% likely", but that is ignoring weighting of possibilities.


You only weight probability if you know that an outcome is more likely.

You roll 2 dice and you know (not assume) that the combination of the two would be more probable adding up to eight than two.

In your scenario... You think it is more probable that because of the hypothetical age difference that it should receive more weight than the other two.

I disagree.

You have no ability to prove that the age difference should lend more weight to the probability.

I can prove 8 is more probable than 2

This is where your injection of assumption into a mathematical equation has done you in.

Well, as far as Im concerned, whoever makes the longest post is always right. So far Im thinkin its a tie. But if one of you can stay up later than the other it may get interesting.


I'm screwed then

Me personally. About a 10yr range either way is as far as I'd consider. After that you fall into the possible "Is that your son/ father range?"

I've had that happen before. A customer, my gf (at the time) and I were talking and he referred to her as my Mom. laugh

What's your preferred age range for dating? I have never really considered dating anyone more than 5 years younger than me, but I wonder if I am eliminating too many people. I mean, if one of my best friends can be in a relationship with someone so much younger and make it work...maybe.

I just worry that there are too many stages in life and if two people are not in those same stages it could cause a lot of problems.


My perspective age range runs from nubile to MILF.

MILF?

MILF=Mother I'd Like to be Freinds with?devil Here's how I date and this is a good way to gage. Take your age and divide it in half then add seven and that's the youngest you can date. I don't date anyone under 25.
