The reasons why this algorithm wouldn't work so well in producing stable marriages are

  • the people preferences may change (especially if they know someone better)
  • people may prefer not having marriage at all (when rejected by some of their choices)

Still, it's not like there is better algorithm. -- Hkmaly (talk) 10:02, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

When I read 'I love you out of all the girls who love me back,' I thought that he meant...

Rob: 'I courted a lot of females because I was looking for the best life partner, since marriage is a serious thing. You are the perfect future life partner.'
Megan: '...but what about all those girls who do not love you?'
Rob: 'Frankly, my dear, I couldn't care less. They do not love me. Why bother violating their wishes for my own?' Greyson (talk) 14:44, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

You know, when I read the comic, I thought he meant the "girls" who were related to him (e.g. is mother, his grandma(s), his niece(s),etc.)
