Of course some women are better LTR material than others.
Well I'm glad you recognize this. At least one active member in this thread believes all women are the same and there is no difference between a hooker and good LTR material!
At least, you're logical. Well ... until I read this:

How do you explain this woman my friend dated a few years back who was a hard core traditional "Conservative" and turned into a hard core Liberal two years later and cheated on him? What "vetting" could of predicted a total personality change?

However, that does not guarantee anything due to variable CHANGE and the fact that women under 30 are more unpredictable than other ages. It also doesn't make a CONTRACT with them necessary (or smart). I'm still waiting for you to explain why a CONTRACT is smart. SMART is the main word to focus on. Don't care about how it "feels" for you. Why is it SMART?
Can you answer that?
Let's begin with the bolded fallacy:
Can change <> Will likely change
Your and others' positions are why vet, when people can change anyway.
This is the most imprudent strategy one can use to govern their life. If we assume that people will change anyway, then why:
Vet your business partner for his ethical background. Just partner up with Bernie Madoff. Because an ethical partner could turn into a cheat and steal your business capital anyway;
Vet your investors. Who cares if they don't have enough capital to service your business now. This can change and they can be well capitalized in the future and fund your business then.
Vet your friends. Who cares if he is a heroine addict who steals from his mother. He has a good heart and he can change in the future and be trusted.
Vet your clients. Who cares if he doesn't have enough money to pay you now. He may change and become liquid later, and pay you then.
Vet your debtors. Who cares if he doesn't have a good credit score and doesn't pay his debts. He may change and become a good-paying consumer then.
Why can't you obtain a mortgage if your credit score is 500?
What can't you obtain credit cards if your credit score is 500?
Why can't you obtain business loans if your credit score is 500?
It's called vetting. This is what SMART people and institutions do to properly mitigate--not entirely eliminate--their downside.
You guys who don't promote vetting seem like you have no working brains in your head. And I say this in the most diplomatic way
