do you have any friends that are 4x your age or more?
Do you have any friends that are 4x your age or more?
Yes
No
1) if you can find me a 160yo to be friends with, I will do so in a heartbeat, but until then no I do not.
2) this is a very badly-conceived question unless you're literally only asking like. KIDS. Because that is such a HUGE gap to the point of the question being laughable. A 13yo, the youngest age someone can have an account on tumblr to vote on this poll, would need to have a 52yo friend to vote "yes". By the time they're 16, they'd need to have a 64yo friend. the 18-24 demo is (i believe) the largest on the site. I don't think most 18-24yos have friends in the 72-96yo range.
I'm not saying that's impossible, obviously, but like... it's VERY unlikely. Plus once you pass 29, you officially can simply no longer have a friend 4x your age, given that the oldest (age independently verified) living person is 116.
(side note but shout out to Jeanne Calment of France, 1875-1997, oldest recorded and independently verified person to ever live, at 122 years. She lived on her own until she was 110, met van Gogh when he moved to her hometown of Arles, France when she was a teenager, and recorded a spoken word musical album shortly before she died. Absolutely fantastic.)
Anyway, as I said, this is a very badly-conceived question by the asker, the percentage of people who are even theoretically able to say yes is already pretty low, let alone taking into account how few people are ever actually going to be friends with people that much older than them. Not related to, not "I know someone this age" or "I'm fond of someone this age" but actually friends with them.
Yes, this poll does not actually address what the original poster seems to be questioning. At least I assume so! Unless they are genuinely curious if folks 25 years old and younger have elderly friends. Almost no one over 25 could answer this poll affirmatively.
But...if what they are genuinely asking is, "Do you have friends that are significantly older than you?" then a poll like this might work: A) have (or have had) at least one friend 10 years older than me B) have (or have had) at least one friend 15 years older than me C) have (or have had) at least one friend 20 years older than me D) have (or have had) at least one friend 25 years older than me E) have (or have had) at least one friend 30+ years older than me F) I do not have (and have never had) any friends 10 years older than me.
If my grandmother counts as my friend (and I think one of them did and one of them didn't) then I would answer E. If not, then D.
