Hook

One of the people will have, even if it's not directly, is to find a partner. And I I heard you referencing psychological stability as the thing we should be looking for in a partner. What do you mean by psychological stability? After some sort of emotional perturbment, after something happens, how long does it take for them to get back to baseline? I'm looking for someone who is just what, emotionally stable, or they they returned to their emotional equilibrium, right? So, let's say that we're going on holiday, and the flight is canceled, and it's a big deal because their family is going out there. Is that the sort of thing that happens, and then there is a reversion to baseline within a few hours, or is that the sort of thing that blows up the entire trip of the holiday with their family? Something occurs that causes emotions to be impacted, how long does it take to get back to baseline? That's emotional stability, and it's very predictive of relationship outcomes. Some other stuff, um, conscientiousness, person's thoughtful. They think a lot about you specifically, and they care. Agreeableness, someone who's moderately agreeable. You want somebody who, when you propose plans, is a yes-and person. Like, ah, yeah. And finally, you want someone who's moderately open in openness personality trait. So there's three: conscientiousness, agreeableness, openness to experience. Want someone who's moderately open so that they're prepared to go and do new things. As soon as you get into high openness, that's when wandering eyes come in. I also like the psychological stability thing. I think that's really, really lovely. You want somebody who feels like home. You want a relationship that feels like a safe harbor that you can wall yourself off against all of the ills of the world. Your business can fall apart, your health can decay, your friends can abandon you, but you know that at home there's someone who loves you for who you are, not for what you do, and they've always got your back. And I think aiming for a relationship that feels like a safe harbor is a really good idea.
