How much does the partner that someone chooses reveal about their level of self-worth, do you think? I like this, starting with a strong one. Well, I want to add a little bit of context to that. How does the partner that someone chooses reveal how much they love themselves, how they see themselves? It can tell a lot, but I think more importantly is the way that they feel about someone's judgment of that.

So the way that I frame it is if someone told you that they could tell how much you love yourself by the partner that you've chosen, how would you feel about that? It's kind of like if I say, oh, is that a new shirt? And you're a little insecure about it. Or like, what does it make me look? Do I look a little heavy?

Do I look a little, can my muzzles look small? Right? You're like, there's an insecurity there. Yeah. Versus, thank you, it is a new shirt.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
