This hypothetical I know, I think that's the correct word to use.

But anyway, if you were a different person and you dated you, yourself I mean, what do you think your impression would be.

I think I'd be ok to date for a while. I can be kind, caring and a little romantic.

But I think I'd be a nightmare to live with, as far as I can tell I have at least 2 quirks/faults shall we say.

One is I'm a tidy freak, I like things in their own place and I wash dishes as soon as I use them.

The other is time, if I say I'm going to be somewhere at say 3 0'clock then I have to be there on time, or before hand.

These two things drive myself mad at times so I'm sure it would affect anyone I lived with.

So, what's your good points and quirks/faults.

Honesty scares people Mr Joe.. happy But I respect that.
Since I am not looking & have nothing to loose.....

"Dating yourself"

Most definitely date myself. blushing

Marry or live with another me, or a man like me.. .oh hell no noway

I am too set in my ways. I love :heart: my independence & not having to file a report. * Unfortunately, marriage or living with someone they expect that.. poor bastards * smokin


Date YES. Cohabitate NO

Clever way to broach the topic Joe.

Me, myself, and I are quite comfortable with each other... too comfortable even... perhaps that's why there's no she making it a foursome? spock

Regarding cohabitation: I suspect few women would appreciate my tendency to collect broken stuff that could be used for something else. ohwell

Yes, I'm similar I think, I'd give it another go but without a contract laugh

One good thing about me is that I would always 'put out' at a moments notice ohwell

I am fussy when it comes to housework and can't stand it when people do not clean up after themselves.
My saying don't put it down, put it away.

Another that could brass someone off is that if I have something that I haven't used for a while and someone needs it I will give to them.

Good thing is I love to cook for people and make them feel welcome. Sometimes they enjoy it too much and don't go. :laughing:

Another is I like to try new things and come up with new ideas.

We are similar Joe, I am truly a neat freak, I know where everything is at, but I think I am kind and considerate and I truly enjoy good conversation and a good glass of wine.

hahahahahahaha everything everyone listed as faults
seem like good things :-)

I am highly adaptable and I blame this on my philosophy
of acceptance of people for who they are, they meet their
own standards, I meet mine.

So, ya, if I could get a date with me, I'd consider it.
Good conversation, roll-your-eyes-to-the-back-of-your-head sex,
and a serial bye bye smile :-)

hmmm... yes, I think I would date me... I think I'm fun to be around.

I can be gullible.. so that makes me wary...
I am no neat freak, but I don't like a big mess either...
I have a 'roundtoit' attitude at times.. I'll do it when I get around to it..
as in, I bought a new toilet a week ago, and I still haven't gotten it installed. (I have 2 other bathrooms one can use)..
I like to bake (cooking IS different than baking)..so not a fan of cooking..
If I say I am going to do something.. I will be doing that.. Hate it when people say one thing and do another!!! Usually on time too...not a fan of people being 'fashionably late'.
So, JoeBricky.. I'll do the baking, you do the dishes, lol!

ooooh baby it's like this was made for me..hahahha


1. clutter drives me outta my mind and puts me in a lousy mood
especially if it is NOT my mess but it's in MY house :angry:
2. if you are gonna say you are gonna be somewhere by such and such a time
than ya damn well better be there or your house is on fire huh
3. if I think your argument is weak I may pick holes in it be prepared to back it up with fact.
4. I wiggle one foot as I fall asleep at night and this one has to be out of the blankets..done it since I was a kid
5. ummmmm hahaha I am fairly routine driven..I set my schedule and write down what must be done each day and I usually stick to it
6. If I got school work or house work needs doing..best to stay out of my way
7. ya ya kiss back of neck while I do the dishes but ya also better be doing the rinsing and drying or that will be the last meal at my house I cook for ya
8. am I affectionate? depends on my mood..if I got a lot on my plate and my brain is trying to figure out how to tackle it all? hell no
if I am feeling frisky or playful? watch out surprised

Some good honest answers, I guess it's about learning to accept that others have their ways as much as yourself.

If only I'd have realised this 20 years ago sad2

So what keeps you from changing? It's only a choice you know ...

I really don't know any 'serious' quirks. I'm sure I have 'em, but everyone does, it's a matter of respecting each other's ways. And if they don't match, you don't match. Simple as that.

If you can call it a quirk, I can't live with most of the things that you all mentioned, because they're basically all about controlling another, or they will work out that way.
For instance, if a neat freak would start hassling me with his neat freak problem, we'd have a problem.

I can compromise, meet the other halfway, if the other party can't, not going to work. But I wouldn't call that a quirk, I call that being normal :tongue:

Yes, I'd date myself.

I actually have changed, but it took me to become single to make me realise how self centred I may have been at times.

This is why I posted the topic in the first place, I was just pondering who and how I was or am.

I tend to roll my eyes at TV commercials.

I don't always do the housework all at once, or straight away.

I tend to have lazy days.

I let male friends get away with flirting with me. And then we just laugh about it.

I have no strict diet.

I refuse to spend more time working, than with friends and family.

I hate being ordered around.

Interesting question; Give the guy a gold star!

Would I date me. Sure. Finding a "me" is a little harder. lol

Have you ever seen the show called "Picker's" or some such thing where the guys go out and find cool collectibles on places with like four barns of stuff? Or that show about the couple in Texas where they guy is really good at carpentry and she does the design but they just seem crazy in love with each other? That is the "ME" I would have to find in and older version. They would have to have my heart that would give someone the coat off their back and would probably have a few stray animals in the barns but not in the house that would be able to add on to house all my books and collectibles and all the stuff we would collect together. And they would just have to be able to procrastinate to be creative or want to play behind closed doors. I might not get the cart before the horse but I sure want and old stallion. lol The up tight tidy folks ,God Bless them, would loose their mind with me. If you are the type that pitches out perfectly good creative material or is more worried about the calories or what the neighbors think when they come over to feast when I get in the mood too cook I just back off and RUN the other way because I don't care if the kids old or young want to drop in. I don't think I have ever met a stranger in person. Someone who likes to talk, wants to go do some kind of "help project", who will swap this for that is way more interesting to me than the usual definitions of success.



So, what's your good points and quirks/faults.

rofl That I am Me! And if you don't want my opinion... Don't ask. Or don't bring your problem to my doorstep to help ya with. I am a tough old bird and I have gotten through so much at this point I know what probably going to work. That can save people a lot of misery if they listen but I don't have the patience I probably should if they want to be lazy or a hard head. I am not good at backing down. And if you are the kind of person who can't tell when to leave me alone or wrap me up in a big old hug it will probably be kind of tough. If you are the kind of person who needs order and control in your life I would drive you right out of your mind.

I know myself very well so easy to adapt and understand. And I can tolerate my faults so it could be the best married life couple "me weds myself"
But I need someone to help me list out those flaws and work with me so I would say NO I wont date or marry myself frustrated pitchfork
