It's not as though men are reliably good partners, either.
If there's any good advice for identifying people who are likely to be reliable allies over the long haul (if they're treated decently), I'd like to see it.
Offer them something you cannot afford. If they reject your offer, they will probably make good allies.
Like an engagement ring? "Oh, you don't want to marry me, that makes you the perfect wife!"
Not quite. A good ally is someone interested in your mutual well-being, and won't accept an offer that costs you more than it benefits them.
There are other ways of testing. That is my preferred approach.
