My test save was about 20-25 days in to the first month, the target character that my test character asked to date already had 5+ sexual partners with whom they appeared to have a very high disposition towards as at first they would decline dating with the reason being they had someone else in mind. Keys were exchanged and no more than a day later they're banging other people in my characters house. Asked them to move in, same situation. Voyeurism and cheating was set to minimum and their chance to cheat stat was low but not completely gone but they had the "loyal" trait.
Sounding very much like an "unseen traits at play" situation to me. Though i'll admit to being no expert at all, having played far more of a aimless manwhore striking back on ladies who paid for his services (and then their families), one thing that i did learn in the process is how knowing a NPC's fetishes and stats is not only terribly important but key to playing.
Open-minded and Flexible are the absolute bane of any person dreaming of an unflinchingly loyal waifu/husbando, if you found any characters with those traits avoid commitment with them like the plague, because their interests and loyalties are fluid like quicksand. Meanwhile Demure should be immensely invaluable in tandem with loyal, in that it makes a character less horny/vulnerable to sexual frustration and consequently that harder to affect, corrupt or seduce.
In fact i dare say the most important thing ever if you decide to commit to any one NPC
is know their priorities (fetishes) well, because sometimes a fetish the partner is uninterested & unattending to, unaware of even, can become a major obstacle in the path of a conquest, or even more importantly chink to be leveraged into cracking the armor of faithfulness of a NPC.
Seriously, i have seen more than one character that "by the numbers" should have been untouchable for me "lower the bar" and opening themselves to corruption once i learned of those fetishes and tailored my sugestions and actions around them.
"Chat => Know better => What can you tell me about yourself" is probably
THE most important question/tool you can use, since that's where a NPC bares open its interests, preferences and so on - not all phrases and buzzwords are obvious in their meaning
that said, "i understand that sometimes people around me will fail and i'm ok with it" is code for open-minded, flexible - or both - beware, but
everything coming out of them when you ask that directly relates to a trait (sexual or not), fetish, like or dislike. Bluntly put, they are the keys to what traits to unlock and block with "Chat => Suggest" to your heart's content.
Or, if you want to be really thorough to an painstakingly savage degree - suggesting everything in the list at least once, just to check a NPC's reactions and maybe catch some super-hidden mine of a stealth fetish. But hell, no, don't. Thinking of the sheer self-induced painful boredom gives me shivers even though i'm the one who suggested it.
Have no shame of rechecking it (probably one of the reasons it's among the two "Know better" questions that is repeatable) from time to time, since sometimes a previously tight-lipped NPC might open up a little more - or reveal possible changes of values between encounters, i have caught more than one slide from Shy to Shameless or blossoming of a Flexible trait because of that.
Hope my ramblings do not bother too much and you get some use or entertainment out of them.
