Common denominator problems

When someone complains about how bad something is, so they substitute it for another thing they believe is good, only to complain how bad it is almost immediately after the substitution. The individual making the complaint has no self awareness and therefore doesn't realise they are the problem and the things they claim are bad, probably aren't.

Example 1:

A woman is bored of sex with her husband, so she divorces him and finds a new and exciting man to have sex with. Then she realises the sex is boring and repeats only to find the sex is still boring. It is likely she just sucks at sex.

Example 2:

A man is frustrated with the demands of his job and quits after a year taking on a similar job elsewhere believing it will be better only to realise that he is frustrated with the demands of his new role. He then repeats this, when in likelihood, he just sucks at managing his workload.
Joe: "man, Bill always complains that the women in this city give bad head"
Steve: "maybe Bill is the problem?"
Joe: "how so?"
Steve: "Common denominator problems, my guy. He probably just has a numb dick"

Least Attractive Denominator (Lad)

The least attractive denominator (lad) is a phenomenon that occurs on dating profiles, where the least attractive person pictured in each group photo is the owner of the dating profile.
Jerry: Every one of this girl’s profile pics is in a group photo, most of the girls are attractive but I can’t tell which one is her.
Chad: It’s always the least attractive denominator (lad), in this case the fat girl wearing too much eye makeup. Sorry man.

The denominator

A value in mathematics - fractions - that is symbolic of mathematicians making unnecessarily complicated what should be very simple.
"Why do they call it 'the denominator', why don't they just call it 'the bottom number'? I mean, it sounds like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie! 'I AM THE DENOMINATOR.'"

The Society of The Lowest Common Denominator is a term I invented for the end result of Socialism and Politically Correct Pseudo Interllectual Fascism. It describes a society where everyone is condemed to the level of the slowest, weakest, most interlectually inadiquate and emotionally crippled.
You can't give an honest opinion on fedd back forms in case someone is offended? Talk about the society of the lowest common denominator!
