The 80-20 Rule

What’s the deal with the 80/20 rule in Netflix’s “Adolescence”? While this concept suggests that 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes, it’s often misused in discussions around dating. Some incel communities argue that 80% of women only go for the top 20% of men, but this idea lacks solid evidence. Surveys, like one from OKCupid, show skewed preferences based on the app’s dynamics, not real-world dating. The reality is more nuanced, with marriage rates and cohabitation trends not aligning with the rule. The narrative pushed by incels can lead to harmful views on relationships and reinforce negative behaviors. “Adolescence” offers a raw look at these issues and reflects the struggles of youth in today’s society.
