How they think
Moves by what's been proven, not what sounds good. Respects the data, the receipt, the version of truth you can point to. Skeptical of slogans, loyal to results, suspicious of anything that's been re-branded twice.
In relationships
Loyal down to the blueprint. Shows love through the oil change, the calendar synced, the problem solved without a thank-you expected. Needs a partner who reads actions as the primary language and doesn't demand a soundtrack over them.
