Honest men have a fatal flaw when it comes to dating: a cognitive bias towards sunk costs.
No matter what it is, they factor it into sunk costs, always convinced that they won't find a deal like this anywhere else. Even if they know it's problematic, they can't let go and would rather muddle through life with it.
Youtiao privately told Wang Yunxiao, "We shouldn't meddle too much in Dumpling's affairs."
"No matter what kind of person that woman is, it doesn't really matter. How much harm could Dumpling suffer anyway? There are so many brothers around him—he won't starve."
"What we should actually be worried about is Dumpling himself."
"If we interfere, and later he suddenly says something like, 'I know she's not good, but I just like her. You guys shouldn't interfere,' we brothers will be in an awkward spot, won't we?"
Wang Yunxiao didn't see it that way.
