CHAPTER

Exploring the Myth of Perfect Matches in Relationships

This chapter explores the notion of perfect romantic matches and highlights the impracticality of believing in a singular soulmate. Instead, it delves into the social dynamics of relationships, suggesting that meaningful connections can be formed with a broader spectrum of individuals.

00:00
Speaker 2
So the question is, is like out of the eight billion people alive, does, you know, every single person perfectly match with
Speaker 1
someone else? With and precisely one other person, that would be the so that is actually a very detrimental view. If I think that would lead to bad outcomes of people believe that. And it doesn't seem likely to me to be true whatsoever. They're going to be always searching for perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. And you can move on. And then you get to like, what's the perfect search stop algorithm again? Yeah.
Speaker 2
So imagine you
Speaker 1
have what's the average amount of friends, like people have that they talk to at least once a month to or something like that would probably be the cutoff line, like 50 people, 30, 20, something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 2
something like
Speaker 1
that. Let's call it 20. So on top of that, you also, most of them are in couples, so most of them are not available actually. And then you also have just random people you run into while you're at the store, while you're meeting friends of friends, etc. How many people do people have at least some word exchange with when they are per year, constantly
Speaker 2
on top of people all the time? There's don't interact with many people at all yeah
Speaker 1
so if you're someone who interacts with very few people and you only interact with say like tens of people per year that you feel like you had sufficient opportunity to kind of understand whether there is something even like like oh we are having a good time talking to each other yeah across 100 people are you gonna find someone you gel well with? I would imagine so. Right?
