I'm confused by this. How does judging someone you just met and know zero about (the spouse or lack-thereof) tell you anything meaningful about the other person you know zero about (the person whose character you're primarily interested in judging)?
What criteria for “sizing up” their partner?
This sound sociopath behavior. if me business partner do like this maybe they not right person to partner with.
if someone partner a business criminal or physically hurt someone good to know what you getting into up front. but otherwise trying to judge someones partner feel poor behavior.
seen havior like where one tries to judge your ability, motive, and success based on how you look..what car you drive..value of you house..based on what you father does and how much he earn. toxic traits.
always fools errand and people like this never get far long term.
