The 80/20 phenomenon is observable in other phenomena, otherwise known as the "Pareto Principle", however this "principle" is commonly taken way too literally.

In other words, the "80/20" rule describes inequality (in this case the distribution of affection in online dating), but it does not "prove" that things will always be unequally distributed. | ||
