It seems more like a job requirement but I feel like it’s quite important to me that whoever I date knows first aid.
I imagine someone who hasn’t taken a first aid course is still aware of things frequently depicted in movies and TV like how to assist a choking adult or CPR but I feel like it still leaves out a lot.
I can’t really recall a lot of media depicting how to treat burns or how to perform first aid on children, cats, and dogs for example so I’m not sure if that would be absorbed to the same degree by cultural osmosis.
Edit: What I meant by my question was if you found out someone you were interested in didn’t know first aid and didn’t express an interest in it if you’d view it as a negative.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t date them.
I’m more curious about how important of a factor it would be to people.
I’m not sure why this is being down voted. Do people not care for these kind of questions and want me to delete it?
Would you think less of a potential partner if they didn’t know how to chew properly?
Medical problems can cause people to choke or otherwise have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).
Thus thick water

Only helpful for certain types of dysphagia, but yes, very helpful for many.
I was commenting mostly because people are equating choking with being a toddler and not knowing how to chew, which is completely oblivious to the fact that many people have medical reasons that these might occur.
Hold on, adding “No dyphagians” to my tinder bio
(pssssst, there is an implication of sexy times choking)
Would you think less of a potential partner if they had momentarily lapsed in their reading comprehension?
Nope. But I would get to know how they feel about me discretely explaining jokes they miss so that they can enjoy them too.
I’m not in the habit of dating toddlers

“Must chew with mouth closed” would be another odd one for a Tinder bio
