Well said, also another red flag, at least for me, is that she mentioned that she is looking for qualities of a partner like looking for a CTO. But the difference is that with a CTO is it is purely an economic relationship which can be terminated at anytime with no hard feelings while with a life partner or a husband, it is more of a covenant relationship meant to survive future uncertainties and so really less flashy qualities such as loyalty, tolerance and humility are more attractive than popularity, beauty or intelligence.


I absolutely disagree. Someone you work with every day who is an intimate partner in your company that you depend on for your livelihood is far from someone that you can terminate with no hard feelings. I'm sure anyone who has built a company and had to part with a CTO knows that there were many many feelings involved and it was a real partnership and by no means easy.


loyalty, tolerance and humility are qualities i would also like in a business partner because our business relationship should also be able * to survive future uncertainties*
