Seriously? Do you just hallucinate things you want to see so you can get upset about being gay? And not being able to know everything about the PARTNER is not relevant in this hypothetical, it's just assumed they are the partner of your dreams. Perfect for you.
It is true the question was posed in a gender neutral fashion, but most of the replies were not. I'm not in the least upset about being gay, vanilla gorilla. If you have ever seen me upset about being gay, I'm not the one hallucinating. Do you want to get upset about everything I say? The point of playing devil's advocate is to raise a different idea/perspective. If I were the interviewee I'd ask the exact question, how can one tell this is the perfect partner from a quick glance? They probably wouldn't hire me.
Wouldn't you also ask how you know the old lady was going to die immediately without medical attention with just a quick glance? I think the intent was to accept the facts as given . . . if one is going to question the hypothetical, there are many unanswered questions. My thought is I would call 911, but I don't think that is what the question had in mind.
Take the old lady to get help, but tell the Partner of my dreams to call me and give her my number. My friend would understand, any friend of mine would want the person in need of medical attention to be treated first. The woman of my dreams would also understand and find my helping the old bag totally hot. Later that night I'd call my friend to to make sure we were all good, and the sexy sexy dream babe would call me wanting to show her appreciation for my heroic actions.
I'd turn the hottie over to my friend and say, "now we're even." Then, I'd turn to the old lady and say, "I hope you like hairy backs..."
Well, if the old lady was having a heart attack at the bus stop, it's safe to say she may well die without immediate medical help. Hmm, maybe we can throw a wrench into the machine by making the perfect partner a cardiologist? Perfect partner takes care of old lady, calls ambulance on cell phone, so you have to settle for giving your friend a ride.
