80s and 20s

We all know what the 80/20 rule is. Either we’ve heard it from our elders giving us relationship advice, OR we watched WDIGM and listed to the brothas break it down. Either way, we’ve heard about it and some of us have come to the point of realizing that the 20 is probably not worth the sacrifice of the 80, right? Well apparently I’m wrong in thinking that.

So here is my question? Is there a magic age or maturity level when [men] learn the 80/20 rule? Is there a specific point where guy’s realize that a 20 can never give them most of what they need. I intentionally didn’t’ say all, because I think it is very rare that we find someone that gives us 100% of what we want and need from them. I am also not saying that 80% is the most that you will get out of someone because, truthfully, this is a subjective number and could very likely be much higher for a specific person. What I can’t figure out is why some guys (and girls) are willing to accept a 20 when there is an 80+ standing around them. I mean, it takes 4-20’s to make an 80. And last time I checked, we only have one heart, so the math doesn’t add up. Or maybe I’m wrong there too. Is the heart not involved in the relationship with the 20?

I’ll be honest, I haven’t always been appreciative of the 80’s in my life. Not that I was busy peeking over at a 20, but the missing 20% in the 80, though trivial, was enough for me to let my interest wane. But I was also immature and still had some learning to do. So are all of these guys running around trying to make an 80 or 100 out of 4-5 20’s immature or are they just doing the player thing? And when does that ish get old?
