I’ll answer as Maezawa too.
It’s the Pareto principle, right?
But I believe it originally meant something like the top 20% of customers generating 80% of total sales, so applying it to romance seems like a bit of a stretch. Still, when I searched, I found plenty of sites saying it applies to romance too.
However, many of them seem to interpret it as “don’t expect 100%; 80% is enough,” which feels somewhat removed from the original principle.
If we force it to fit, I suppose it would be something like:
The top 20% of women fulfill 80% of men’s emotional satisfaction.
If we include customers in that 20% as well, I don’t think there’s any need to multiply 0.2 by 0.2, so leaving it as it is seems fine.
I get the feeling that this 20% exists because the other person cares about you.
In that case, maybe it means that if you date 10 women, things will work out with two of them—but not with 100% satisfaction. Rather, it would be based on an 80% satisfaction threshold.
Somehow, “two out of ten” does seem to make sense. And I can also understand why, even then, you still wouldn’t feel 80% satisfied and would keep looking for more women.
The Pareto principle wasn’t originally intended for romance, so I’m not sure whether it really applies, but it’s certainly an interesting perspective.
