Vanguard 1998's definitions
Aka. L.P.D.R., A social norm where before getting into a long term serious relationship with another person, one of the people in the relationship insists that they have to see if their pets like their partner, which if their pets don't like their partner, they will not get into relationship with that person. It is good way to ensure your partner is trustworthy, and is a highly ethical behavior, for you are making sure your whole family, not just the people, but your pets too, like and trust your partner. The only issue with this rule is the fact that if your pet suffers from social aggression, territorial aggression, and or fear-related anxiety it can negatively impact their ability to accurately evaluate that person. If this is the case, the owner should work with their veterinarian, dog trainer, and cat behaviorist to try to treat their pet's condition before using this approach. This same norm also occurs when two people who have been in a romantic relationship are considering moving in together, so they decide to have their pets meet beforehand to see if their pets are compatible and can easily get along, which good way to prevent unnecessary conflicts before they happen. If they don't get along, the individuals may need to hold off until they can get a veterinary professional to diagnose the problem and attempt to treat it so it can be controlled or eliminated.
Adam: How are you and Victoria doing these days?

Earl: Yes, but I'm not worried. A friend of mine knows her and has met her dogs. He told me they tend to be very friendly.

Brittany: How do you know so much about Andrew?

Sarah: I didn't know that. I'll keep that in mind next time.

Get the Religiously aligned sexual preferencemug. The ability of some individuals, because of certain experiences in their life and or the type of educational background they have, to be able to tell certain things about a person, including their social views, political beliefs, what motivates them, how the person views themselves and those around them, how they will likely handle themselves in certain situations, how to effectively counter their methods if necessary, etc., based on the individual’s attire and behavior in certain places compared to the societal norms about what type of attire people are expected to wear and how they should behave in those places, how they talk about certain topics, what type of public image they try to portray themselves as being, how they handle themselves in certain situations, especially in embarrassing situations, crises, and disagreements, and various other things. It is important to note that not everyone can do this; as these types of evaluations can be rendered inaccurate if the person who does this does not have a decent amount of control over their biases, expectations about how other people behave, is not attentive to detail, and or is not well educated on politics, social norms, and social issues.
Cisco: I wonder why James gets so aggressive when someone disagrees with his political views. He always asserts that he is right even when he is not.
Vulko: Based on what I have observed when I have had to deal with him, he seems to be rage driven because he seems to enjoy having disagreements with people on stuff like that. I also think he does tend to be quite arrogant. He likes to win fights as it boosts his ego, which might explain why he always asserts that he is right.
Cisco: What makes you think he is arrogant?
Vulko: I figured out based on how he dresses more formally when going to various events compared to the rest of his family, which suggests he does seem to have an arrogance streak.
Cisco: You seem to be good at figuring out drives people and what gets them to act in various ways.
Vulko: I have a strong social political sense, which is what allows me to read people.
Cisco: I see.

Get the Social political sensemug. An approach where an individual chooses a group of people, which may include the person’s family, friends, and close acquaintances, to choose someone for them to get into relationship with. Unlike arranged marriage, where usually an individual’s immediate family and or a professional matchmaker chooses an individual for the person to marry and they rush off a short time later to get married, once the group chooses an individual for them to get into a relationship with and reveals their choice to the individual, the individual and the person chosen to be their partner will enter a courtship phase for time period of between three to five years to make sure they are compatible. Unlike dating, where as more time passes people become more physically emotionally, and or sexually intimate, in an arranged romantic relationship there may be increases emotional intimacy, assuming the two people are compatible, but all of their interactions during the courtship phase are to be held in public settings, not just in the presence of their family and friends, but around people they don’t know, which limits the ability to have physical intimacy down to just hugging, dancing, and maybe brief kisses. Once the courtship phase is up, the couple will meet with the group the individual chose to decide whether they will get married or if things don’t work out, they can still be friends or go their separate ways.
Veronica: Who is that guy Anna is now seeing?
Jenna: His name is Chandler. I heard that Anna is having an arranged romantic relationship.
Veronica: I am not sure what you mean by arranged romantic relationship. Can you please explain what that is and how it?
Jenna: She asked some of her friends and family to choose a romantic partner for her and they chose him. Now she and him will be courting each other over the next three to five years to make sure they are compatible with each other. She can end it if she feels things just are not working out. After that, they will meet with the group of people she chose and decide whether or not to get married.
Veronica: That sounds similar to arranged marriage, except it does not rush the couple to get married and it gives women a lot more control over who they will marry.
