Isn’t it ironic that the fear of not being loved is what stops you from giving love fully, which in turn prevents you from entering into the loving relationship which you were so fearful of not finding?

For sure – there is definitely a gap between the quantity of love provided, the quantity of love received (perception differences), and the relevant values that the individuals take into account.

There are a multitude of explanations we could write up to explain this result – you could do a blog post on another if you like 😉

Do you also think that there might be observability problems with love? If it’s costly to give without receiving equally in return, then difficulties observing reciprocation could cause underprovision.

Agreed. The binary decision set was only put forward to simplify the discussion – as always. The only goal was to discuss that there could be a “underprovision of love”, not to state that there is a “zero equilibrium” level of love in the world.

With continuous choice variables you might still get underprovision, but I doubt it would be zero in equilibrium.
