I kinda see it like this:
Some of us have a 100% idea of what we want from someone.
We may mostly meet people who can give us 50% and we have to decide if we wanna work with that.
If we are blessed we find someone who has 80% of what we are looking for...we get with that and stay.
However....if something happens and we break up(especially if it's our <'our' being used to mean anyone!!>fault!)....the next person(s) that come along will only be worth 20% of what we had...because it's damn near hard to find someone right off the bat that will be close to what we just lost.
Agree or disagree?
Speaking for myself personally, I remember a relationship that I was in years back where I was getting my 80% and after it ended...I just went thru this drought and saying to myself...if I could take the intelligence from person A and the funniness from person B, the drive of person C and so on...and mix them all up....I would have my last gf....LOL
Is it possible to take a 20% and build them up to at least a 70%?

How in the world is someone supposed to answer that question? How can you possibly put people, their attributes and feelings, into numerical values? Any numerical assignment is completely abritrary, and in my opinion, pointless.
It's really an insane question.

That is really very sad.
