6 months?!?
The big one was used as the inspiration for the street layout in a subdivision in Tempe, Arizona.
Inaccurate. It doesn't show the people wasting their teenage years completely unable to talk to anyone and not learning how to form a relationship.
Those don't make for titillating prestige TV.
You'll get a show like Derry Girls or The end of the fucking world (both of which are great don't get me wrong), and that's about it.
They're just not pictured in this graph. If you scroll to the next image you'll see them.
spoiler
There is no next image
I figure they just aren't included on the chart.
This guy fucks
New emoji "the plumber".
Like, I am a conventionally attractive fella and while not that much of a player, I do have lots of opportunities but damn. That is just 6 months. That's a different girl every 3 days. I don't even jerk it that often...
Teens are horny and have poor judgement. If you have a kid who's confident and a smooth talker, you get this. Some people discover their rizz at a young age.
How are you getting that number? It's a girl every three weeks or like every 20 days assuming I counted right at 9 girls.
oops I did mess up and went by weeks not months
Sex degrees of separation.
Original paper data is from (available on Sci-Hub):
https://doi.org/10.1086/386272
I'm actually not sure where this specific figure was taken from (the one in the original paper is greyscale), but I found a version in this paper (open access):
https://doi.org/10.1186/s41018-020-00071-7
Unfortunately, the diagram is a raster image rather than a vector image, so I can't make an arbitrarily high-resolution version, but I rendered the PDF to a PNG, brought down the page header, and added the DOI so that people can easily find the full paper in the future:
The person that made this specifically ignored gay relationships. There is not a single lesbian or gay relationship depicted. You can not tell me that there was not even a single pair of girls experimenting. I will accept gay guys hiding it successfully enough to not get it logged but no lesbians? Bullshit.
Anyway, this dude knows he has "it":
Edit: I'm wrong, after reading the paper and finding them discussing it, I realised there are two:
Several other users have pointed out two same sex pairs. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just totally under reported, though.
Considering it’s based on self report i wouldnt be surprised if the queer kids were not ready to come out to some random interviewer lol. Especially since it seems they would be also outing whoever they were fucking?
Yeah i'm assuming that as well, but that does show that the interviews were conducted in a way that did not make people feel safe and anonymous enough to answer intimate questions honestly, which calls the other findings into doubt as well.
I know teenagers are way different now, and hookup culture wasn't much of a thing when I was growing up, but in my experience a lot of queer people are late bloomers. I didn't get really laid until late in life because I realized who I was really attracted to.

not a single gay relationship in that high school waow
Or just 1 willing to reveal it
Edit: 2, lots of others commented it
I’ve only spotted one, at the end of a branch on the upper right of the big complex network.
That top structure is just the goth tables at the cafeteria
top structure
Goth
waaaay too het
I'll be real my group of goth kids was mostly het
Not gay enough. They must've left out the theater crew.
Hey now calling the theatre kids gay is a homophobic stereotype.
That said I'm also a gay theatre kid so not really beating the allegations.
I was part of the crew that's why I called us out XD
Gay theatre kid to revolutionary communist seems to be a whole thing.

I see 1 (one) same sex relationship.
I count 2, definitely still massive undercount
I count one (gay) on top of the right appendage of the huge blob and one (lesbian) in the middle of the second grouping on the first row.

Yeah real "they were roommates" hours in this graph
So mostly monogamous straight couples in this highschool?
Wait.. that giant ring is... Oh
It does just say "romantic", not "sexual". Keep the volcel police on standby.
Titled "The Structure of Romantic and Sexual Relations..."
Fucking communists and their LITERACY propaganda

tag yourself, I'm not pictured because my polycule goes to different schools
Mine's the blue dot with a black circle connecting to itself with no other dots.
something something power law scale invariance, something something renormalization group flow on spontaneous fuckgraph networks
The kids are all right
This is from 2004, the people in this image are at least 35 years old by this point.
What's crazy is there is definitely a version with everyone's names lol
Somebody had made the graph already for gossip reasons. They just took off the names for publication.
