Chris Willx argues that doubters are usually right, but one major success makes all your failures irrelevant. The downside of failure is limited; the upside is uncapped. After enough bad dates, finding the right person erases the sting of all the ones before.
Friendly reminder that every person who doubts you is right until they aren't. People who doubt you will be right most of the time, but can I be so right one time that it makes all of the times that I was wrong irrelevant? And in the nature of life, the answer is yes, almost a resounding yes for just about every domain. Everyone can say that every person you've ever dated has sucked and they can predict that you're going to break up until you find the person that you're going to marry. And in that moment, Who fucking cares about the other 90 people that you went on dates with? The downside risk is significantly smaller and more frequent. You're more likely to lose, and it's more likely to happen more times. It's just that upside is uncapped.
