[quote=Anonymous][quote=singledadmclean][quote=Anonymous]My answer is it depends....I have been playing around with simulations of relationships (because of a thread here).  The gist of the model is an assumption that everyone wants to pair up.  But a certain percentage are jerks, and it might take a while to figure that out.  (For example a 1% chance per week).  I also assume anyone who is not a jerk is compatible with anyone else.

What software are you using for the simulations, and do you need a co-author?

I think you need a much lower jerk-discovery rate.  More like 25 percent per year rather than 50 percent per year.  Accomplished jerks are great actors and hide it better especially as they gain life experience.  There is also a discontinuity involved--marriage and/or childbirth seem to allow jerks to let their jerk-flag fly because after those events they assume their partner is stuck with them.    [/quote]

I am writing the software in matlab.  I only put about 2 horus into the project so far; I am not searching for coauthors at the moment; that would mean I have deadlines, and this does not pay the bills.[/quote]
