Does anyone else use film as a system for evaluating potential relationships?

I show someone media and depending on their reaction to themed and what resonates with them will affect my desire to be with them. For example: if a character does something heroic and virtuous I look at their body language and ask them about it. Also their ability to appreciate art, design, structure and aesthetics. I find that its a better predictor for compatibility and “clicking” more than certain first date/first meeting platitudes.

I usually make my girlfriends watch cowboy bebop. Its the perfect yardstick:

Anime puts people off - openness to different media established.
Character archetypes established
Heroes journey explored
Thematically varied
References other media
Distinct aesthetics that reference other time periods, cultures and mixed media - if she recognises this thats good
General artistic skill of hand animation and the appreciation for that art. This is just a few metrics I use.

What are some of your favourite media pieces to show friends/partners to sus them out and gauge compatibility?

Its kind if a meme that men force their girlfriends to watch lord of the rings and they do the same with love island and the gay hockey one.

You are most definitely a woman. Perhaps not biologically.

Evaluating people based on their affinity for storytelling and characters as well as what themes resonate with them is worth exploring. Especially finding entertainment that offers specific triggers.

If you don’t care then go and post your 2019 memes in the 13th obsession thread or join the other indians posting about underage celebs.

the obsession with your gf needing to "appreciate" art like you is one of the most retarded things men do.
women don't expect us to care about their retarded romance books beyond letting them yap about it

My roomates brother is seriously considering leaving his wife of 20 years because she is vegan and will never appreciate a delicious hamburger like he does. Amazing.

You use this methodology to gauge friendships as well. At least some reciprocity in interests is a good idea even with the most retarded foid.

It also lets you plan strategies and plans based on how they “tick.” Reaction to media is often more honest than people realise, rarely do people obfuscate response to entertainment. Its a good watch to catch women at their most honest.

My cat just got out of a 2 year relationship with the neighborhood playboy. She has had 6 kids so far with him and treats him like air. None of the young bachelors have caught her eye so far.

For me it's usually the way around: if a woman expresses enthusiasm in dumb shit (latest Netflix series, Masterchef), I assume she isn't worth it. Her dumbness will surface in other aspects of her life.

>Anime puts people off

Easy. If they watch and like reality tv, or constantly yap on social media, it's an immediate nope. The two biggest indicators of an evil woman.

theres a 13 year age gap between me and my fiancée, one movie we've seen together was apocalypto and she liked it, not sure what to make of that because i haven't given it much thought

>>221801852
>men do
this is universal, women do this too

>>221801585
My fiancée is retarded but she's attractive and takes good care of the home and children love her. It's not that relevant she doesn't like Goodfellas.

Pretty much put on any movie that requires a modicum of intelligence (not merely education, there's a huge difference in being highly educated and actually intelligent).

But this is a good place to start as a personality test imo.
