Romance with a times two multiplier!
Rajeev: in addition to the standard humor, today’s qwantz is really intriguing. this is totally the sort of thing our college selves would have discussed for hours (and possibly created mathematical formulae for)
Vamsi: this is true
Vamsi: i know i’ve thought of formulae for getting over a person
Rajeev: and we’ve come up with a (n awesome) formula for how to rate a girl
Vamsi: for abandonment/vested value, i think ~1% a month
Vamsi: ie if you’ve been with someone who’s a 90% for 10 months, you can only leave them for someone that’s a 100%
Rajeev: so, at this point, since i’ve been with Renu for 37 months, basically unless she’s less than 63% perfect, there’s no point in considering anything else.
Vamsi: her perfectness could drop, but right
Rajeev: (to compute it backwards)
Rajeev: math is fun!
Vamsi: hahaha
Vamsi: it’s an easy and possibly relatively accurate metric
Rajeev: i like it
Rajeev: man, so every month, the standard to which she must hold drops…
Rajeev: she can willingly “let herself go” in all respects, and so long as it’s done gradually, she’s safe.
Vamsi: Don’t let her find out.
Vamsi: there may be a distance/quality time modifier
Rajeev: oh yeah, definitely
Vamsi: and there is certainly an “are there kids?” modifier
Vamsi: and a “will this be really awkward if i start dating someone else because we’re roommates?”
Rajeev: haha
Rajeev: basically, everything can be boiled down to cold, hard numbers
Rajeev: except there will always be subjectivity in assigning point values
Rajeev: but at least we can say we used some logic/rationale for our decisions.
Vamsi: right now my left hand and i have been exclusive for about 28 months, so i need to find someone above 28%.
Rajeev: hahahaha
