The best choice is to test the hypothesis that the date is aggressive, rude, self-serving, and chauvinistic rather than assuming or hoping for it to be true. It is important to approach the situation with an open mind and look for evidence that supports or contradicts the stereotype. This will help to avoid prejudging the person based on their profession and allow for a more accurate and fair assessment of their character.
