I cannot believe you guys let me get away with this! Particularly the bleeding hearts on this site. The basic point was that if someone has invested more than the other in a relationship they are more desperate.I was planning a big defense when no one took me up on the offer. So here is the commented passage again.
It is very much possible that one person may have more invested in a relationship and stands to lose more from a break-up.
Wether you like an asset or not is independent of how much you invest. If you are making a profit you will invest.(i.e. wether you start a relationship)
But the amount you invest depends on the availablitiy of other assets and the relative risks. So if a person has more invested that just means that either
(1) there are few less risky assets available (only losers are hitting on you) or
(2) that there is a dearth of assets.(i.e. you are desperate)
Remember the assets with low yield are usually low risk as well and vice versa the high yield assests also involve higher risk.
