The 80/20 Theory (Slacker Edition) -edit 4-
I still do not understand serial monogamists.
There was a girl who asked me up front one night if I was looking for a serious relationship.
What did I say? Yes.
But not with her. Or right now at that second...or minute...or hour...
Okay, so you get that I was lying through my teeth.
What happened to just being single? I know I'm not getting into a relationship unless it is someone that I am 80% sure I want to date her.
Why 80%?
I have a theory that 80/20 is good enough. It is reasonable without having overly high standards. B's in class aren't THAT bad, contrary to what Asians believe:
A "B" cup is not that bad either ladies...
but back to my point.
80% is good stuff. All the pros. She likes what you like, and she is attractive and intelligent enough to be seen in public with.
20% is all the cons/bad stuff: The crazy. Her desiring sex less often. Her losing your things. Not knowing how to cook/clean so you have to do it all. The list goes on.
I'm sure you have heard this theory before, but I want to add something to it:
The lower percent of cons/bad stuff a woman has, the worse it is.
Sure, you may get a 95/5, but she is probably a serial killer, has MAJOR emotional/depression issues, does drugs, has children, herpes, etc.
(Would you catch Scarlett Johansons' herpes?)
My conclusion: Don't date until you are ready. Shacking up with people for the sake of a relationship status change on Facebook is ridiculous at best, and excruciatingly desperate at worst.
-edit- Disclaimer: I don't know if Johansson really has herpes.

I've never heard the term serial monogamist before, but I guess I would fall under that? I don't get with guys for hook ups or anything like that. If i get with a guy it's because I want an actual relationship with him and I'm unwilling to do anything like kissing or whatever with anyone I don't have strong feelings for. But it maaaay be slightly different for me because even though I want a guy for the long run, I'm not someone who wanted to get married or have kids. It's something that I decided that I didn't want since I was very young because of my parents' horrible marriage and while I'm open to the idea of marriage, I have yet to find anyone to change my mind about it.
A close friend of mine encouraged me to go out and just try hooking up with guys I found interesting so I did because I was curious about the experience...or rather I almost did. As soon as the guy would start kissing me and touching me, I felt disgusted and couldn't go through with it. Sorry for the blue balls, guys.
@loneshadow_wolf - Not exactly. I'm talking about women(and men) who hop from relationship from relationship, having small periods of singledom (less than a month). These people do it for a variety of reasons. Since you are single right now, I would just say you're picky, but not a serial monogamist.
My argument against serial monogamy is that in my opinion, people need to find who they are before they enter a relationship, because too often, people let their relationships define who they are.The things I do for that FB relationship change.... *Sigh*
LOL at your term "The crazy". Unfortunately I really can't deal with that ish...or being irrational, unreasonable or just plain stupid. Not knowing how to clean is ridiculous. You must mean being to lazy to clean. Can't deal with that either. I have no problem with her not knowing how to cook cause I could make her a gourmet meal but she needs to at least know how make a sammich. Scarlett Jo...lawd have mercy!
I totally agree that a B cup is good enough.
The Pareto principle applied to dating... Interesting.
"Sure, you may get a 95/5, but she is probably a serial killer, has
MAJOR emotional/depression issues, does drugs, has children, herpes,
etc."
Funny stuff man!
8 out of 10 women wear the wrong kind of bra. so even if their bras are Bcups, it's possible that few cups higher.
Do you believe in Barney's Hot/Crazy scale?
Scarlett?
Definitely worth it.
Her-pes, mypes, it's ourpes now.
Haha. I'm single partly kuz I'm in a position where I don't really have time to be in a relationship and I have a lot of personal issues I need to work on. Don't wanna subject a boyfriend to too much craziness. But I do agree that a lot of people let their relationships define who they are and it's a sad thing.
@loneshadow_wolf - I dunno, you're attractive enough for me to deal with it :3
@SlackerSociety - Hahaha. Even with my suicidal tendencies? I dunno, I have a lot of anger, anxiety, and insecurity issues x__x
@loneshadow_wolf - yeah...just about every woman does.
@SlackerSociety - True, though I don't think most have actually attempted suicide. Gotta hate them daddy issues.
There's another asian meme that's like:
Your blood type is B... WHY NOT A?!?!
bahaha
@loneshadow_wolf - I've come to terms that I'm the asylum for girls with problems. I've had (multiple)girls with daddy issues, girls with abusive boyfriends, who have been raped, molested, had body image issues, schizophrenia, kids, and yes, have attempted suicide. So I'm not too surprised by much anymore, unless a woman is industriously homicidal. That is a slight deal breaker lol
@SlackerSociety - Does it count if I tried to set a guy's hair on fire when I was in high school? I didn't hate the guy or anything; his hair just looked super flammable and I wanted to see if it would go POOF like it does in my imagination o__o;
@loneshadow_wolf - We need to talk...
