Would you date yourself?

[JoeyBartonHanson]

And why

I wouldn't , I'm not that interesting as a person.

Yeah, I'd give me a chance. I'm good looking and hilarious with fabulous hair, but I am bit fat, I laugh too loudly and have terrible legs.

I doubt I'm much of a catch on paper.
Fat, long term unemployed through mental health issues, single parent.
On the other hand I have loads of great points..... intelligent, articulate, creative, funny, independent, kind.

On balance I would date me.
Been single for 7 years so I don't see that changing.

I’d be good company on a date but not relationship material.

Hell no

Picky eater, single parent, awkward ex, sn kid, shift worker, smart arse.

But OTOH I'm a cheap date, very funny, smashing pair of girls, and have some skills

Overall, no I'd choose someone much easier than me.

Hell no! One night stand maybe because yeah I’m pretty good at sex 😄

But then I’d never call me again...I’m too much hard work! Late for everything, crap with money, forgetful, scruffy, bad driver, easily bored, easily distracted, demanding, really fussy about food, argumentative and so stubborn but get bored of arguing after I’ve started it and just want the person to shut up and forget it like nothing happened once I’ve said my piece! I also read the ending of films/tv shows online as we are watching them and the last paragraph of every book before I read it.

Although you’d have to date me a while to discover all that...I just pity my DH tbh 😂

Yup I'm alright. It's taken a while. But I scrub up well mentally and physically.
pink412 I am pretty sure you're alright too. We all, well most of us, need a bit of work on our self esteem. Give it a go

Well, I have a dirty mind, like adventurous sex, role play turns me on, am beautiful, have decent body and very energetic.
However, I am impatient, have little time, like to push buttons, very sarcastic dry sense of humour, and am a single parent.
So only for sex

No, I’m really standoffish & sarcastic irl. Wish I was warm and sweet 🤷‍♀️

Gosh this is an interesting question isn't it.

The answer is... sometimes. I'm intelligent I think, and funny, and I'm fit and good looking. Got hobbies and interests and I'm not afraid to try new things. Those are the pluses.

On the other hand, my mental health can dip from time to time and I can become a bit irrational and obsessive. Financially I live fairly hand to mouth so wouldn't have much to bring to the table on that score. Am also a rabid feminist and men tend not to like it

All in all? I might, yeah.

Well I would use me for sex
But as for a relationship?
no, I'm just not a people person

No. I’m kind, giving and hard working, but I’m very plain, have to have lots of time on my own, prefer reading to sex, not keen on socialising. I definitely wouldn’t want to date someone like me.

Definitely not- I am sarcastic, a fussy eater, impatient, over sensitive, moody and flakey with impossibly high standards.

Stop talking shit about yourselves all those who are! What would your best friend say about you? I doubt you'd get such a harsh response.

@Lilac3 we're twins!! I'm exactly the same. And god no I would not date myself.

Funny to think about, but yes I would. Dp says I'm moody at times but I'm worth it and I have to say I agree.
My good points definitely outweigh my bad.

Such an interesting question which I had never thought about! The answer is a definite no though. Probably due to me very erratic temperament.

Yeah probably. I'm away with the fairies a bit but cook delicious food and am generally lovely, if a bit dozy/forgetful.

@Lilac3 and @Puma84 we must be triplets because I’m the same 😳

Why not.

My first reaction was 'no way!'.

Then I made a quick spreadsheet of 28 different personal traits, each weighted and ranked to show how positive or negative they would appear to me if I were a third party, suggesting that in that scenario my good points outweigh my bad ones by 75%, so maybe I might after all.

(I criticised myself for being over-analytical but figured that someone like me wouldn't mind too much.)

Good heavens no, I wouldn't date me on a regular basis (one night max!) but then I don't like me! My boyfriend seems to think I'm OK so I am learning to think that perhaps I'm not as bad as I think I am!

It feels a bit conceited to say it but I would as I am actually a pretty jolly sort on balance. I just wouldn’t want to live with me. I am quite disorganised which is very annoying for an organised person and I couldn’t date another person as disorganised as I am or we’d be a total shambles ensemble. One of my other big drawbacks is that whilst I do scrub up well, I look pretty hideous first thing in the morning. There is only so much a smile can make up for. 😁

Probably not. I am extremely insecure and need a lot of reassurance.

My husband clearly despises me, suggesting that it's not a great deal being with me.

Yes I would.

I’m great. I don’t have a temper and it takes me ages to get wound up. I’m kind & patient with most things. Although I’m impatient if my food takes to long to come at a restaurant
I’m in half decent shape and fairly good looking. I take care of myself.
I’m happy 99% of the time too!

Cons about me are I’m about messy and hate putting washing away. I couldn’t meet anyone that was super tidy. I also like a lot of messaging at the beginning so they need to be able to give me that attention.

I have 2 kids but they are good kids and I wouldn’t look to date anyone that hated kids etc anyway so I don’t see that as a problem.

Absofuckinglutley! I'm awesome 😬
