The output is clear: even random matching has a higher score than all girls (or boys) liking the same boys (or girls).
This is, indeed, a serious problem if you take that people nowadays have access to:
1. An enormous pool of potential partners
2. A lot more information
The .2 is particularly worrisome. It is clear that too much information early in the interaction can actually bring to suboptimal equilibrium. The thing is, when you know everything about somebody you tend to act on your most superficial preferences, getting to know gives you access to a much deeper connection (and a much better choice).
