I know a girl who might be attractive if she put on twenty pounds, but she's also dating someone who appears to be an absolute tool.

As she launched into this narrative about how her boyfriend lost his license, but kept driving -- crashed again into a barricade, and then ran from the scene of the crime - I couldn't help but lower my impression of her, as well. She told me that despite her bloodied face and his destroyed car that he made her run from the accident scene so he wouldn't get in trouble for driving without a license.

Then she told another story of him crashing his motorcycle and rather than get it fixed, he sold it on eBay. He advertised it as brand-new, but when the guy got the bike he realized it was all scratched up. Here, she just shrugged like her boyfriend had done something brilliant. To me, it was just unethical and mean.

Throughout the entire discourse, I couldn't help but lower my impression of her. If she'd date a guy like that, doesn't it say something about her?

Do you think who someone dates should reflect on them? Would you think negatively of someone based on something their SO had done?

If so, I wonder what people think of me based on my girlfriend, and my girlfriend based on me?
