- ggggtez 8y agoSo, is your point that using a Stable Marriage solution is ok and realistic in the real world, but a Marriage variation is impossible and dumb? All of the OPs complaints about the Marriage problem apply to the Stable Marriage problem, and yet, the real world doesn't seem to care that the OP thinks it shouldn't work. People use it anyway, and it largely works.
