5 x 20% RULE

I have met a few wonderful women in my life time, and there were many different things I liked about them all. Sometimes it would be something as simple as her smile and other times it was something as serious as our compatibility. Whatever the case, it was never enough to keep me interested. I really can’t explain why. Maybe it was that thing they call the 80-20 rule or maybe I just haven’t found the right combination for my 80%. Well I think I have found a solution for this it’s called the 5 x20% rule.
Everyone has heard of the 80-20 rule. It’s crazy how we would risk losing 80% for a measly 20%, but let’s keep it 100 this happens all the time. I think most people appreciate having that 80%, it’s just that they’re not quite sure which 80% they really need in their life. This is where the 5x20% rule comes into play. I remember joking about this awhile back, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense to me (That’s all that really matters).
Let’s start with the obvious the 80-20 rule equals 100% and the 5x20% rule equals 100%, so it’s basically two different paths to get to the same location. The 5x20% rule is simple. Listed below are 5x20% rules in order.
First, you must be honest with yourself and honestly figure out what five qualities you really feel you need in a companion. (You may only choose 5… Hence the 5x20% rule)
Second, take your time and find a few people that possess one or more of the qualities you wrote down on the first step. Me personally I would chose one person per quality, that way you can evaluate each quality in depth, but to each his/her own. You really have to focus on this one, and try not to pick people with the same combination of qualities. Doing so would defeat the purpose of spending time with different people. You must understand this isn’t about sex. So I’m not saying you have to sleep with the people you choose… We all love sex (trust me I understand), but sex is usually the first thing to diminish in a relationship. This has to be about the important things in a relationship, and even though sex would be first on a lot of lists I consider it more of a bonus then a necessity.
Third, as you’re spending quality time with your quality people try and shorten your list of required qualities. This is going to the frustrating step, but this has to be done in order to find you true 80%.
Finally, once you have finished the elimination process remember which 4 ( 80%) quality you decided to keep and which 1 (20%) you feel you can do without. Now here is the tricky part... even though you now know what you're looking for you may not find that particular combination of qualities in one of the previous people you spent time with. So if you don't find that combination you're still in good shape, because the previous steps give you a good foundation to start with. If you are lucky enough to find that person during the initial quality search then the process is complete. This may sound a little crazy at first, but it’s the best route to take, because when you finally commit to your special person it should truly be a match made in heaven or a GIFT from GOD… In my world this would be a perfect solution to stop people from wondering around looking for that 20%, because now you have already told yourself you can do without it. Now it’s on you to man up and not chase after it. I know this seems a little crazy and I will even admit that it is, but hey this is my blog and these are JUST MY THOUGHTS. What do you think?
