I don't think "too much choice" is really a problem. I think having no idea how to find a good match plus too much choice is problematic. If you have no idea what you are looking for, it is incredibly time consuming to sort through your choices. But more options are good -- IF you know what you want/need. Many people just don't.
- unclenoriega 10y agoI think it's fair to say that an inability to effectively evaluate the choices is implicit in "too much choice". It becomes too much when it becomes too difficult to evaluate.
- Mz 10y agoI have spent plenty of time on a forum where people routinely ask relationship questions and many people seem to have plenty of trouble evaluating even just the current relationship they are in right now and whether or not it is worth staying. These are perfectly intelligent people. I don't think the world really has established good rubrics for how to sort out who to marry. The high divorce rate also suggests we have trouble with this. So, I posit that not knowing what you want/need in a romantic partner is a problem no matter how many people you are considering -- even if it is just one.
