There is a widespread idea that the way to find true love is to spend all your effort searching for one optimal partner.
Here is an alternative algorithm: spend some effort finding a good enough partner, and at least as much effort building a good relationship with him or her.
I like this site: it shows the widespread idea in its purest form. Kind of a reductio ad absurdum.
