I came to the comments for an explanation because I completely missed the age labels, so thank you.
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.
When it's concerning a brain fart, should it instead be a nice green cloud-shaped outline around the relevant part?

xkcd readers remembering 8 billion comic id numbers:
You act like he has to pull it up with a number ID and doesn't already have every xkcd alphabetically, pneumonically and categorically sorted in their bookmarks.
Wow my dating pool is at maximum, while i have been single for last 4 years
Amazing, there really is an xkcd for everything
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!
/S
Thank god for that "/S"

That’s a ridden hard and put away wet 36.
That is a "meth as a career" 36.
It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

Homeboy is HAGGARD for 36! That man is at least 65.
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.
LOL. Yeah. That dude in the picture took her age, added 7 years, doubled that and then lied about his own age.

42-year-old, here. Late-20s-hotties, give me a ring.
Whaddya mean, "what does ring mean?"
"you know, dial me up..."
"...dial?"
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!!”
These were originally labeled "56" and "17" because a Libertarian made the image.
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
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.
