I need some relationship advice. I suggested 125% but my wife won’t budge from 10%. Is this normal? How did it go when you had this conversation with your romantic partner?

      I think he means “legibility” as in being more clear, upfront, honest, open. It’s still a weird way to use the word

        I don’t think so. Because if the world were really full of dateable fuckable people (a world of greater eligibility), people would be constantly “trading up” on relationships. But the world is NOT full of dateable fuckable people. Most people are happy if they can find one dateable fuckable person.

          I know for a fact he meant “legible”. I’ve read a lot of his work and talked a great deal with people in the rationality community, and legible makes perfect sense there.
