DyVineDyalogue: The 80/20 Rule

May 7th, 2010 | By DyVine

Hey all,

Happy May! This is the first DyVineDyalogue of Spring! I’m really excited about all that the Spring and Summer months have in store… Mainly… NO SCHOOL!!! *Doing the “getting jiggy with it” dance* I did disappear for a sec but I hope you’ll understand. I promise that there will be a vid next week. It’s much easier for me to multitask typing than to have to make a video, edit it, and then post it to Youtube as well as Snewty! Soooo… gon’ head and read this! It’s FUN4daMental, ya know!

Peace & Light,

DyVine

DyVineDyalogue: The 80/20 Rule

If you Googled ® the 80/20 rule, you’d get all sorts of results. People seem to have developed all sorts of scenarios where the 80/20 phrasing works. However, you know that DyVineDyalogue discusses relationships, so, we’ll take it from that point of view.

The official Snewty definition of the 80/20 Rule (as deemed by DyVine) reads as such *breaks out Snewty dictionary*… “80/20 Rule refers to the concept that an individual will leave his/her significant other who composes 80% of their wants in a significant other for another person who, at first, seems to have it all but, in actuality, only composes 20% of their wants in a significant other. Please note, even though there are scenarios where the actual percentages may vary (such as 85/15, 95/5, etc), they are all referred to as the 80/20 Rule when the opportunity cost of the existing relationship is the lesser of the two.”

Still there? LOL

I know those of you out there with the common sense are like… “Why would I leave my 80 for a 20? It just doesn’t make sense!” To you, I say… I know right! However, this happens every day. A guy will leave a girl, who is everything he wants minus a thing or two, for a chick who may have better sex. A girl will leave a guy, who has everything she needs, for a guy who spends a little extra on her. Seems shallow, but it’s the truth. (more…)
