“GAME” in movies
Personally, I got a lot of game from movies over the years. Now when I say game I don’t mean the game you spit when you tryin’ to get the number, I mean info that you probably wouldn’t be getting elsewhere. For example, in the movie Hitch starring Will Smith, he gives a client of his the “game” he has been lacking in order to approach the girl he has a crush on. Now out of every piece of advice throughout the movie, one thing really stood out to me, the 80-20 rule. I heard that before but never really understood it until that movie, basically this is how it goes; in a relationship, you will never get the 100% we desire so we go out searching for it in others. But in the end, when you leave the 80% you had in the first place, you end up with only 20%, which makes a lot of sense to me. We tend to complain about the things that we don’t have or we THINK we don’t have so we end up doing something stupid like cheating just to find out if that other person will supply the extra 20%. What I learned from that is to not have unrealistic expectations for your partner, but just do the best you can to contribute to making your relationship healthier and you will be just fine.
