When you vet someone for whether you can be close friends with them, what's a seemingly unimpactful characteristic about someone that would instantly rule them out as a potential close friend for you?

Being "vetted" by them...
Maybe you don't like the wording, but everyone does this. Unless you know if someone will be a close friend the moment you lay eyes on them, or are friends with literally everyone you've spent time with.
Yes everyone does it naturally and mostly subconsciously over time as they get to know people. You've got to be a real psycho to be running through a checklist you've crowd sourced online. Wtf is this thread. Ugh reddit refugees lmao.
I personally doubt OP is going to actually use the answers like that.
Yep, not having any standards for who you spend your time with can have bad consequences. This is very clearly not referring to something as ludicrous as pulling their credit score.
At least for me, there's never really any conscious stage of vetting people. It's just a long process of repeated interactions, and eventually some of them become friends and others don't. There's no grand registrar of friendship that I file people into for processing.
Then it's unconscious. Hopefully the criteria are ones you'd agree with if they were conscious.
For real this seems like a major red flag.
