Comment on The End of Loveparent

I think that is the problem with modern dating. There is too much information and too many choices available so that it is easy to reject someone for something that is obviously trivial.

You can go looking for the perfect person and never find them - or you can choose to be with someone and say “I’m flawed and you are flawed but we are going to try our hardest to make it work in spite of our flaws”.

Or as go the lyrics to the great "When my time comes" by Dawes:

Oh, you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back

I watched a video on YouTube recently that was actually on decision making, but it talked about arranged marriages.

With arranged marriages, the decision is made, so they have to make it work, for the rest of us, we think it’s the decision that matters more than anything else, so we place too much value on making the decision, as if a perfect one exists and place less value on making that decision work.
