yes, it is so sad because all women ever want is to marry some guy. And it is totally up to him to decide whether or not he should propose, because it goes without saying the woman would say yes.
I came here to see if anyone else caught that, too. Not to mention, there is no possible way those 4 qualities could possibly determined as usuable percentages, and as soon as it went from actual statistics to made up statistics, I stopped being interested.
shut up. The whole “awesomeness” of it was in how exacting it presumably was. If it’s wrong, it’s not awesome in the first place, or he should have tried a different kind of proposal. Or no proposal at all, whatever.
Once, bored, I calculated how many people on the planet (statistically speaking) have an IQ as high as mine. Then I calculated a rough and actually very broad estimate of how many pedophiles there are in the world. With only those two variables taken into account (assuming they aren’t, somehow, linked) this kind of person only appears every 1 in 58,000,000,000,000. That’s fifty-eight trillion.
Which means (again, only considering those two traits of my being) that of all the humans alive today, of all the humans that have ever lived and all those that shall live for thousands upon thousands of years into the future, there will never be another like me.
So how’s that for your special little snowflake idea?
You’ve illustrated that you have no idea how IQ works: IQ is *defined* by the number of people smarter than you: the median is *defined* to be 100, and the standard deviation is *defined* to be 15.
So there is no `statistically speaking’ how many people have an IQ as high as yours. If you know your IQ you immediately know how many people have an IQ as high as yours.
It’s damn near impossible to calculate how many people have an IQ above 160ish (or even pin it down to a certain number) because they don’t make standardized tests that go higher than that. Furthermore, although IQ is — in theory — on a perfect Bell Curve, humans aren’t that consistant. There could be, hypothetically speaking, a large number of people at 160 and 180, but due to a quirk in the human brain, almost none at 170.
I based my calculations on a weighted average of what it SHOULD be, in a world where humans are mathematically consistant, modified with actual membership in several high-IQ socieities and a good deal of guesswork.
With some wiggle room in the numbers, the result was somewhere between the billions and the quintillions, so I used my “best guess”. That was all I could do given the impossibility of knowing anything exactly.
My only problem is that it says “only 2% of people are gorgeous inside and out” that made me mad. Every person is gorgeous inside and out because they were all made in God’s image. And even if they weren’t too pleasing on the eyes, why would you care? She is probably a nice person. It should say “100% are gorgeous inside and out” I’m tired of those venn diagrams where people say ” girls that have nice personalities” and “girls with nice bodies” and there’s no overlap. Good looks isn’t what men should be looking for in a girlfriend.
First of all, you missed a very important word. “Only 2% of people are *so* gorgeous inside and out,” as in, only 2% of people are as gorgeous inside and out as Stacy is.
Second, you need to ask your doctor to up your dosage of Reality. Shallowness is fact. Not everyone is attracted to people based only on looks but many people are. Even those who are attracted to personality, are usually also attracted to looks, so of two really nice people, the better-looking one is more likely to get a date. There are also bad people in the world who are very ugly inside.
the 100,000,000 = icon is to just repeat for the graphics presented below. I did a double take because he used a feminine icon to represent the total population (traditionally one would use the neutral stick figure), but yeah, you missed the concept.
Best proposal ever. I sure hope she says/said yes – If she didn’t, she’d be making the biggest mistake in the world because. I hope some guy proposes to me like that someday. Sadly, however, I’m Forever Alone for now.
He says he couldnt meet more than 4% of 7billion people based on where hes lived and time hes spent there… has he not heard of the internet dating scene? If you want a japanese girl or a chinese girl there are dating sites dedicated specifically to that and they even help you with plans and paperwork of getting together.
This would be cute as a Valentine’s Day card or something. But as a proposal .. yikes. I would still say yes because she seems like a sweet guy, but I would much rather be asked in person.
am I the only one here thinking this isn’t particularly original or funny or that I would “totally marry someone” if they did this? Not to rain on this guy’s parade but there have been too many of these sorts of things on here.
I find i funny that everyone believes the statistics here. Let’s assume that his numbers are right. Even so, he simply multiplied the percentages at the middle of the poster to the lump sum. That’s not how math works. There could be overlap, whereas he assumed that if a woman is gorgeous inside and out, she can’t “keep him laughing” or whatever else he said.
I read the title first.
*headdesk*
If stacy is a woman and she is on memebase that is perfect enough.
fake and gay
I don’t think internet content has a sexuality.
Nothin’ gayer than a man proposing to a woman!
you just have no creativity
You assume it’s a man. That makes you a bigot. Many states now permit women to marry other women.
Except that it says man in the proposal. It’s from a man to a woman.
I applaud your sarcasm! Bravo!
I came here to say that.
Bravo… Bravo… *standing ovation*
Wow, I’ve never had so much respect for a guy I’ve never met. This is fantastic.
Freaking amazing proposal, my hairs are standing to attention, kudos to your creativity and general awesomeness.
Good one, I enjoyed this.
Well done mate, very impressive.
This man deserves an award. Something like best proposal ever
I believe he will be satisfied with the Yes award.
So his ‘award’ is to get married?
Poor bastard…
You are awesome.
Amazing proposal! I hope she says yes!
should have learnt another language or two. that would mess up his logical conclusions…
Well???? Did she say yes?????
Well that’s good, but as it is Valentine’s day I feel the urge to complain.
/angrymanonvaletinesday
I bet all the hate comments got moderated
[Marcel Marceau in _Silent Movie_]
“Non!”
[/Marcel Marceau in _Silent Movie_]
+1 internets
There’s a typo in the proposal. He meant to write Stacy’s Mom instead. *snicker*
stacy’s mom has got it going on.
Awesome.
^This, I was totally thinking about doing this, lol!
This is so awesome, if she says no….. well….. she won’t
If someone did this to me, I would instantly begin sobbing and say yes and begin planning that damn wedding.
I’d give him a bj, shoot him and steal his small, valuable possessions.
Me too. I don’t think my boyfriend will ever propose to me
yes, it is so sad because all women ever want is to marry some guy. And it is totally up to him to decide whether or not he should propose, because it goes without saying the woman would say yes.
/sarcasm
Well thanks so much, if you hadn’t put that no one would have ever know it.
/sarcasm
Wow, this is amazing. It’s so sweet.
Does it make me an arse to say his math/logic is flawed? The 4 percentages need stated dependency on one another and this wasn’t expressed…
Yes, yes it does.
As much of one as is (I can only imagine) his source for those numbers.
I came here to see if anyone else caught that, too. Not to mention, there is no possible way those 4 qualities could possibly determined as usuable percentages, and as soon as it went from actual statistics to made up statistics, I stopped being interested.
This is exactly how I felt. I’m really happy there are other people on here with critical thinking skills.
You guys sure know how to kill an awesome proposal by logic.
shut up. The whole “awesomeness” of it was in how exacting it presumably was. If it’s wrong, it’s not awesome in the first place, or he should have tried a different kind of proposal. Or no proposal at all, whatever.
Not to mention the fact that the dude is only willing to “date” people within a 5 year age range. Wow.
Meanwhile, some other girl who’s name is Stacy will see this and think that her proposing to her when he really has no intention of doing so.
Otherwise, this is genius.
*her boyfriend is proposing
That is the most amazing love-related thing I’ve heard about/seen all Valentine’s Day. Well done, sir.
no it’s not. It’s hardly the first thing like this posted on memebase. getting kind of annoying, this site is for lulz, not sappy crap
You really need to get laid.
I would marry the man who made me this without a second thought.
This is incredible. HE SHALL HAVE MANY INTERNETS.
This is the nerdiest proposal ever, if she says no then she is an idiot! But she won’t.
Once, bored, I calculated how many people on the planet (statistically speaking) have an IQ as high as mine. Then I calculated a rough and actually very broad estimate of how many pedophiles there are in the world. With only those two variables taken into account (assuming they aren’t, somehow, linked) this kind of person only appears every 1 in 58,000,000,000,000. That’s fifty-eight trillion.

So how’s that for your special little snowflake idea?
Once, bored, I read this comment.
there will never be another me
and no matter what they do there will never be another you
you can search but you’ll never find
you can try to rewind time
but in our hearts and our minds we will never die
we are forever alive, and we continue growing
one day at a time…

No, thats not right Dave.
100 is defined as the arithmetic mean, not the median, although it doesnt matter, because in a normal distribution the median equals the mean.
No.
H-h-h-heartbreaker !
Anyone can make their name be Stacy
probably wasn’t the one
If nothing else, give this guy a klondike bar
He needs to listen to “If I didn’t have you” by Tim Minchin…
My only problem is that it says “only 2% of people are gorgeous inside and out” that made me mad. Every person is gorgeous inside and out because they were all made in God’s image. And even if they weren’t too pleasing on the eyes, why would you care? She is probably a nice person. It should say “100% are gorgeous inside and out” I’m tired of those venn diagrams where people say ” girls that have nice personalities” and “girls with nice bodies” and there’s no overlap.

Hitler was gorgeous inside and out?
Bazinga
What planet are you living on? Oh wait, wait. God’s image. Gotcha.
^this
Even god trolls.
Even his existence is a troll.
not fat people, they are gross!
First of all, you missed a very important word. “Only 2% of people are *so* gorgeous inside and out,” as in, only 2% of people are as gorgeous inside and out as Stacy is.

There are also bad people in the world who are very ugly inside.
So this would make a small part of god a murderer, a paedophile and a thief then.
I was gonna point out how flawed this was but I will keep my mouth shut for the sake of love and sex.
:youareawizard:
7,000,000,000 people on earth, only 100,000,000 women ?
I think I didn’t get it…
the 100,000,000 = icon is to just repeat for the graphics presented below. I did a double take because he used a feminine icon to represent the total population (traditionally one would use the neutral stick figure), but yeah, you missed the concept.
My thoughts exactly.
Never mind. Now I got it.
If this is just abput 50% true, I’ve allready met the girl and screwed up…
:forever alone:
*about not abput* GNARR
Best proposal ever. I sure hope she says/said yes – If she didn’t, she’d be making the biggest mistake in the world because. I hope some guy proposes to me like that someday. Sadly, however, I’m Forever Alone for now.
This is how we define “Like a Sir!”
Guy couldn’t bother learning a new language?
He says he couldnt meet more than 4% of 7billion people based on where hes lived and time hes spent there… has he not heard of the internet dating scene? If you want a japanese girl or a chinese girl there are dating sites dedicated specifically to that and they even help you with plans and paperwork of getting together.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Did she say yes? Cause if she doesn’t marry him, I will
This is so sweet! What girl who goes on Memebase could say no?!
i’ll marry you
That is the sweetest thing I have EVER seen. I am totally stealing this.
Same! Don’t forget nerdiest though! But I’m not stealing it I am just going to save it on my computer.
This would be cute as a Valentine’s Day card or something. But as a proposal .. yikes. I would still say yes because she seems like a sweet guy, but I would much rather be asked in person.
If a guy proposes to me like this, I would soo say yes.. Yep, I know, NERD
am I the only one here thinking this isn’t particularly original or funny or that I would “totally marry someone” if they did this? Not to rain on this guy’s parade but there have been too many of these sorts of things on here.
Yes you are the only one.
to which she says “TL;DR”
I find i funny that everyone believes the statistics here. Let’s assume that his numbers are right. Even so, he simply multiplied the percentages at the middle of the poster to the lump sum. That’s not how math works. There could be overlap, whereas he assumed that if a woman is gorgeous inside and out, she can’t “keep him laughing” or whatever else he said.
I though I was all you wanted!!
My, what shyte glasses you have!
Wow…I hope Stacy said yes otherwise this would be awkward to the tenth power…
It’s a shame you already cut her open to see if she was beautiful inside…
THIS IS ADORABLE GO TO HELL HATERS
