Would you date yourself?

And why

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

I’m easy going, kind, generous, very much have my own life, very active (not just sport, generally I have lots on). Like lots of sex, and am also affectionate and very loyal. Lots of kind gestures. I would date me.

I also am a single parent and spend a lot of time on that - I’m out a lot, co-ordinating a fuckton of clubs.

So I wouldn’t suit someone who liked to spend the majority of time together.

Fortunately my second husband is in the “has life of own” camp too. But I can see that I wouldn’t suit everyone because of that.

Panda90 · 15/05/2019 12:58

No I would not be able to put up with myself. I feel a bit sorry for my husband

Lost5stone · 15/05/2019 13:00

Probably not, I'm completely irrational and a little bit annoying. DP doesn't seem to mind though!

MissTerryLady · 15/05/2019 13:02

Absolutely! I’m a catch.

I’d be sorely disappointed when I saw myself naked though and realised what the push-up bra and well fitted clothes were hiding.

JellyNo15 · 15/05/2019 13:42

Yes. I am attractive for my age (would give myself a seven), nice company and good in bed ;)

sourdoh · 15/05/2019 19:15

I know I wrote a couple of the more sad posts. I wish I felt otherwise. I just don't know how to be desirable. I freeze at the thought of being a massive fucking disappointment.

It's pretty upsetting. I've missed out on a lot and been.through some traumatic times, not all my ex fault, however it's left its mark Sad

Thankssomuch · 15/05/2019 19:17

I wouldn’t want to look at my nose.

MaggieMuggins · 15/05/2019 19:20

Yes, absolutely!! I'm basically looking for a male version of myself Grin

Oblomov19 · 15/05/2019 19:22

God no. I'm surprised Dh is still married to me tbh. I crave being on my own, more than anything. I'm becoming more 'Mrs angry from purly' everyday. I'm a miserable old trout.

userxx · 15/05/2019 20:08

At this moment in time, absolutely not. A few years ago, too bloody right. Need to sort myself out.

Notthetoothfairy · 16/05/2019 22:16

Yes, definitely! I am pretty messy but if husband and I both earned the same as I do, we could easily afford a cleaner to come more etc

Leftielefterson · 16/05/2019 22:23

Tough one. I’m more difficult now after a really bad break up (more anxious and suspicious of new DP), I can have a fiery temper and do like things my way but on the whole I think yeah I probably would. I love sex as much as my DP, I’m adventurous and spontaneous and am open to trying new things. I’m also a pretty good cook and give a mean massage.

robinsarebins · 17/05/2019 11:56

Interesting question.
My good points are I'm very loyal and affectionate in relationships, I'm interesting, intelligent, funny, not unattractive, hard working, passionate about my job, good mum, nice life in general.
My bad points are I'm a bit of a slob, no dress sense, terrible communicator. Stubborn, like having my own way, poor, and obnoxious when drunk.
I also suffer from bitchy resting face and can come across awkward or stand offish to people that dont know me.
I think I'm a good person but no one has tried to start a relationship with my for quite a while. I'm obviously giving off leave me the fuck alone vibes. I can't flirt to save my life. I used to be quite good at it so no idea what happened there.

Ellabella989 · 17/05/2019 11:59

Definitely not. I’m far too insecure and have bad anxiety too and am quite hard work in a relationship

crosser62 · 17/05/2019 12:00

Probably not.
I’m miserable
Don’t drink
Don’t do social gatherings
Have zero motivation

DH is an angel putting up with me.

motortroll · 17/05/2019 12:07

No! I have PMDD and I'm slightly crazy. At least once a month you'd have to deal with an extreme low mood. I'm also easily offended....sometimes on purpose just so I can have an argument. I'm also very lazy!

I'm a delight! Luckily I have a husband who loves me anyway!!

ThatCurlyGirl · 17/05/2019 12:09

I feel terrible but I'm not sure I could cope with a partner who has my health difficulties.

It's such a big commitment and sometimes a partners life will end up revolving around my hospital visits etc.

BonAccordSpur · 17/05/2019 12:12

No-single&lovin it for10years..wouldnt compromise my freedom anyone😂
