When asked to rank 9 relationship archetypes, the user said 'the first 3 say it all': Intellectual sparring partners, Partners in crime, Best friends — all peer-equal dynamics where both people challenge, act, and connect as equals. The bottom two (trophy wife, trophy husband) are the only status-display dynamics in the catalog and were explicitly rejected. The frame is that relationships should be between equals who think, act, and be friends together — never status objects for display.
