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?

    If it’s so important to you, you should put that in your tinder’s bio.

    “You need to know how to assist with choking.”

        Medical problems can cause people to choke or otherwise have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).

          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.
