Honestly, would you date yourself?

[YouShouldLeave]

If you met someone who was just like you (personality, lifestyle, ”flaws”, worldview, intrests etc.)
Would you date them?

God no! I'm a waking red flag. I'm actually really lovely in relationships bit on paper I'm a nightmare

Yes, definitely!

Jesus, no. I'm fat, lazy, grumpy, pernickity, completely without ambition and haven't got a penny to my name.

God no. Surprised Dh is still married to me.

Yep! I’d be lucky to have me!

Absolutely not, I'm a nightmare.

Definitely not. Ewww, I’m repulsive.

I don't think so. I'm a decent person and I know I'd be totally loyal but I'm not terribly attractive, definitely not funny, and I'm a chronic worrier and way too clingy. Still not sure why DP is with me but I'm trying to work on my self worth!

I'm ok! I just meant I wouldn't have rushed into marrying my now dh! We are happy and been through a lot together but I think I pushed it all because I was in love with the idea of marriage and a bit naive. Thought I could change him : 32 years later I realize you can't change people.
I wouldn't date myself either though !

Absolutely not and anybody who would date me now I’d be really suspicious of. Way too much baggage

@unlimiteddilutingjuice

I'd be drawn in by my superficial charm and humour and then dump myself later on when the mood swings and manipulative tendancies became apparent.

This really made me laugh.

No. I'm a horrible human being.

Good Lord, no. I'd bore me thankfully DH has a high tolerance for never ending chatter!

Yes I would. I'm very drama free and laid back, these are qualities in me but also massively attracted me to my Dh. I'm okay looking but do make effort to keep fit. With shit loads of self confidence

I would, and we'd have a lovely time and take each other for granted for seventy years, during most of which people would only realise we were a couple when they met our kids

No I'm an absolute bitch and I would pull myself up on all of my failings and then eat myself into am early death.

No, I am far too rotund and dowdy after having my baby and then lockdown.. I am a mess!

I would. I like who I am, DH is pretty much the male version of me tbh.

No I’m a total pain in the arse

Absolutely I have an amazing life, I’m funny, caring, kind, quite hot if a bit pushy, no needy.

Then I’d dump me a few months later for being completely time poor, unavailable and having a wandering eye.

I’m kind, generous, attractive, good at sex, solvent, reasonably well off in fact, relaxed, independent and don’t mind you doing your own thing... I have lots of interests, am quite funny, active, good listener, great problem solver, no obvious “issues” and no annoying family members in tow. So on paper, I think I’m pretty good.

But... I usually think I’m right, and bottom line I just don’t “need” anyone - I know my husband finds it hard not feeling like I would ever rely on him. He doesn’t feel that important to me - and though he is in a wider sense, day to day he isn’t, really.

I would be happy with all that in a partner... I don’t want to rely on them, or them on me. But I think it makes me a bit niche!

So yeah - I’d date me. Just wouldn’t advise anyone else to 🤣

Nope, I'm stubborn and opinionated and highly strung. I sleep at weird times, can be moody and stroppy and am too independent to be in another relationship right now.

I would have a one night stand with myself without a moment's hesitation, a FWB scenario would be even better as we could really explore my sexuality.

I would also be friends with myself. I'm quirky and interesting and like doing loads of cool stuff so hanging out with me for a while would be fun.

I would do - once, to see how bad it is for other people.

Nope. I find it hard enough dealing with my insecurities, emotional instability, lack of common sense, bad memory etc. Without dealing with it twice over

15 years ago no way - now, absolutely (I’ve had a lot of therapy and have chilled out a lot, and my cooking has vastly improved)
