Of course it is, you've taken her off the market thus that other guy that wants to date her must lose. People are a limited resource, there's only one of her, when resources are limited the game is always zero sum.
- siscia 11y agoYeah, if you only counting heads of course. But our analysis should be a little more deep. In my opinion she is the maximum; from any other gals I won't get as much positive "points", still in my opinion, I won't be able to provide more positive "points" to someone else but her. This is not a zero-sum games, because, if it was, swapping girls wouldn't changes my "points"...
- gnaritas 11y agoNo, you're too focused on you; it's zero sum because two men can't have her, one gets her and one doesn't. Zero sum isn't about you, it's about if getting what you want deprives someone else of what they want, which it does in the case of a woman.
