The truth is that you will never know the answer to this question. There is no instrument for measuring the eventuality of marriage.

The struck out part is too Walt Disneyish. Don't think the world and your surrounding will pan out in slow motion when you meeting the one. Often times, it is quite the opposite; someone you prolly never imagined or hoped.

In the end, it is a great leap of faith.

I'm not sure I understand your point

It's simple. According to the screenshot you shared, Indian women were recorded to be the first to shave their pubic hairs and this they did before the Birth of Christ, quite a long time, really.

Also, the shaving seemed to have been an exclusive practice of the Hindu Nair Caste system, which means it wasn't a usual, general practice at the time.

As at the 18th Century pre-Victorian Britain, pubic hair shavings were seen as souvenirs amongst the upper class of the society.

Among the upper class in 18th century pre-Victorian Britain, pubic hair from one's lover was frequently collected as a souvenir. The curls were, for instance, worn like cockades in men's hats as potency talismans, or exchanged among lovers as tokens of affection.[42] The museum of St. Andrews University in Scotland has in its collection a snuffbox full of pubic hair of one of King George IV's mistresses, possibly Elizabeth Conyngham, which the notoriously licentious monarch donated to the Fife sex club, The Beggar's Benison.[42]

It wasn't until the first half of the 20th century that it became widespread and seen as a trend. The Hindu Nair Caste though started way early, they did so exclusively.

You're just making a mountain out of a mole hill. GRRM didn't give a timeline for the show because it is pure fiction and fantasy. Dragons never existed so I don't know where you got your 'million year old' theory.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GENRE WITHOUT A TIME IT WAS SET IN!

Dragons are mythical, I rightly pointed this in my post. It is common knowledge. Dinosaurs are said to have existed over 2 million years ago and the idea of Dragons was born from the structure of Dinosaurs, Birds, Reptiles, largely Snakes and Lizards. The myth of Dragons was more sellable at a particular time than in other timelines for reasons. The 'nearly/over a million years' time-line was a rough estimate based on the era it thrived and was almost thought to have existed. It is the same with vampires. The myth was super sellable at a period that many believed it. Today, the idea of Vampires is laughable and somewhat foolish.

There is no way you'd say a movie is 'purely' so and so genre and it doesn't have a time and place of setting. All students of literature know both fictions and non fictions must have these elements. They are the foundation of every work.

India first, though BC but nowhere was it mentioned that it spread during a particular time line. Plus, my initial standpoint is culled from the widespread culture of shaving during the old Greek Empire. The documentation, even as shared took place in the 20th century.

kenturkish:

are you for real? in the beginning of the series we clearly see the stark boys being shaved for the kings visit, albeit it was their beards, so if they could shave their beards why cant they shave down below? besides the people of westeroos are highly educated, its a medieval show but its not the stone ages.

Funny, beards shaving started during the stone age when the earliest men found a way to make knives from stones and other objects in their immediate surrounding. We are probably looking at a movie set BC and it is believed that shaving pubic hairs became widespread in the first half of the 20th century.

Now, we are talking about an era of Dragons, though mythical, we are looking at an event of nearly a million year old if not over. It clearly doesn't make sense that people in this era clearly know what it means to shave their pubic areas when they have probably never heard, seen a gun; its introduction being in the 20th century. It makes no sense.
