You Ever Fell Victim to the 80/20?

Brothers, if you aren't familiar with the 80/20, then it is when you have a woman who is probably about 80% of what you want and need, but she lacks that 20%. Since you aren't getting that 20%, another woman can come along and actually appeal to you more than the woman you are with who is giving you 80% of what you need.

The problem here is while you are getting that 80% from your woman, you aren't thinking about how things would really be once you got with that 20% woman. The mind tends to focus only on what you aren't getting right now. Some men then leave the 80% to be with the 20%, only to painfully find out that they are worse off than before.

Anyhow, any guys fall victim or were tempted by the 80/20?

I'm also curious if this ever happens to women as well...

LOL........... strangely enough I think I have been both in the past. An 80% and a 20%

The grass is always greener and some short sighted folk ain't never happy I guess.

Of course it happens to women as well, but is all about thinking with your head and not some other body part! The grass is never greener and all that.
Who will ever be a 100% anyway, I don't think it is healthy for you to get 100% of what you need from someone else. What ever happened to making yourself happy first and being able to rely on yourself before depending on others.
In practice if you depend on someone else too much you could drive them away.

Its pretty difficult when you realize the 20 is just that....
