She Ain't for Everybody

In this episode, the notion of the "sunk cost fallacy", which is a term generally used in economics meaning a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered, is applied to dating and relationships. Another similar aphorism is "doing the same thing and expecting different results."So in this pod, we explore how, for instance, many women who were generally thought to be more mature than men are indeed not as emotionally developed as we thought, particularly if you consider that over 80% of divorces in America are initiated by women. Certainly, all those men cannot be that horrible? In any event, renowned Sista Shahrazad Ali, of the 1980s and 90s Nation of Islam fame and author of The Blackman's Guide to Understanding the Blackwoman, proposes a thought provoking framework of dealing with women that requires the application of the sunk cost fallacy theorem when all else fails in romantic relationships. Fix It or Get Out ASAP is the clarion call of this show, because "she ain't for everybody."
