You shouldn't feel the urge to abandon the woman who has built her life with yours, even if a 79% "better" woman comes along.

Have you considered that if you are in a committed relationship and you meet a totally new person who is "25% better" than your partner, then perhaps you are not investing enough in relationships and may not really understand what they're about?

I trade up for a 10% better wife every year, she just happens to be the same human I started dating 20 years ago

why would you dump your partner for someone 25% better when you can just slowly nag them into becoming 25% better like a normal person

If you ever find somebody 1% better than your wife you should divorce her immediately for the new girl.

Lukas (computer) @SCHIZO_FREQ If you ever find somebody 1% better than your wife you should divorce her immediately for the new girl. "Love" and "commitment" are demonic lies spread by satan to prevent you from achieving a beautiful new wife who's 1% better 4:55 PM Feb 5, 2024 · 20K Views

um actually the correct way to do it is to reject the first 37% of partners (that's 1/e btw) and then pick the first potential partner you see that's the better than anyone in that 37%

Finding a 25 Percent Better Partner - OK, here's the thing about this discourse: the reason I can't find somebody 20% or 50% or even 1000% "better" than my wife is that she's the mother of my children, which is worth infinite points.
