And that's another thing that we show is that as people get to know each other over time,

it's not 65%.

It starts going down.

And it actually gets remarkably close to 50-50 chance.

There's always still a little bit of agreement left, even among people who have known each other for a long time about who's hot and who's not.

But there is a lot of variability.

So for most people,

Yeah, we might all agree that this person's a six, but there's a very good chance that somebody in that group thinks you're a nine and somebody in that group thinks you're a three.

Right.

That's sad.

That's annoying.

If the goal is to get a bunch of likes online, I agree it's a bummer.

But when we're talking about relationships...

Most people only need one or a few close relationships in their lives.

And so it's handy that we see this democratizing process as people get to know each other over time.

What that means is that if you spend enough time in the right context, it's going to work out for many of us.

And I worry that this is the simple bit of logic that we've forgotten a little bit.

Yeah.

And look, I want to encourage people to not be terrible.

Yes.
