20/80 rule 

The rule guys refer to when they think about cheating on their wives/girlfriends.

Their wife/girlfriend is the 80%: she cooks, cleans, gives him all her loving, and has decent sex. But it's never 100%.

The girl he wants to cheat on her with is the 20%: she's very pretty, has a great body, and is perfect at sex. However, she's a slob/druggie/junky/alchy.

(Seen in Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married?")
Bill: "I don't know, man. My wife's just not cutting it in the sex department, ya know?"
Joe: "20/80 rule, dude... think about it..."

80/20 rule 

The belief that in a relationship, you'll never get 100% of what you want, so at most you get 80%. But some other person may come along and have that missing 20% you don't have. Some folks fall for the 20% just to realize they should've stayed for their original 80%. C/O Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married?"
"Damn, my co-worker is so HOT and incredibly funny!"
"Think about the 80/20 rule, Becky. Think about it."

"Dawg! She is baaaad...34/22/36. Damn i would so hit that..."
"Whoa man; 80/20 rule dawg. Lisa is a good wife..."
