A dating profile from 1865 is circulating the internet, and boy, was it a simpler time.
The ad starts with “Chance for a spinster” which personally offends me (but also, pick me!).
The ad writer then goes on to detail everything he could offer a potential wife including “a good set of teeth” and “nine sheep, a two-year-old bull and two heifers”. And honestly, he sounds like a pretty good catch.

What a 18yo male accomplished at this stage of his life, compared with 18yo's today. Back then they were 'men' at 18 and ready for the commitment of a family... Today they are living on your couch playing video games! Pfffft
He should really stick to the rivers and the lakes like he's used to.
