Would you date you?

[DaysAreGettingLongerNow]

Not a TAAT but this was asked in another thread.

It’s got me thinking.

I wouldn’t date me. I’m far too antisocial, busy doing my own thing, staring at screens, running around after my kids, being stressed.

I’m not sure whether I’m interested in getting into another relationship anyway, but right now I don’t think I’m an appealing prospect anyway.

You?

Nope, no way would I put up with me!

I would date myself.

In fact I am as can't find a guy who's anywhere decent enough!

Probably not, I can be an argumentative bitch, I can be a bit full on and stroppy. But I do make great cakes, can laugh at myself and I do love deeply.

I would date me. I know I'm honest and genuine. I'm insecure but not overly difficult, and I care about people. I'm intelligent enough to have a conversation and I am interested in others. I'm pretty, if a little bit round ( I am overweight, about two stone and I need to sort it), although I do have an hourglass figure and I like my skin. I'm creative and I always like doing things. Although I can work hard or I can be lazy. I'm far from perfect but I think someone would be lucky to have me. ( I'm happily married and have been for a long time). If I could wish for one thing it's that every woman saw their absolute worth.

I love your response. I feel very strongly that women should know their self worth. This is very difficult when women have been socialized to be second class citizens/carers/doing menial jobs to support men who earn more (in most cases) therefore are valued more as £'s earned are clear to see. Women should stand together and know their worth individually and collectively. I would date you! 😘

Lord no, I'm terribly anti social. Fat as fuck (too much chocolate) and have dc, also pregnant atm.

I am also an irritable cow, have had mh issues in the past and really homesick recently.

I would, as I'm conventionally attractive, intelligent, witty and interesting, have a good job, am resilient and am self sufficient. However I'm not at all needy and can live in my own world, so I'm not sure I'd make myself (!?) feel wanted enough....I'm working on that for the sake of my DH!

Hell no. I'm grumpy, stubborn, argumentative and permanently tired. Also set in my ways and thoroughly sick of everybody's bullshit.

Frankly I'm amazed DH is still here.

No way. I’m lazy and hard work and I like my own company too much. I’m so untidy around the house and CBA getting to know someone from scratch. I have plenty of friends, thanks, and I’m not that interested in sex.

I think so. I'm outgoing, fun and kind and considerate of others, reasonably smart, capable and not terrible looking. Though I am a bit insecure, disorganised and stressy at times. I think I'm not a bad catch...

Umm 🤔 well I think I’m quite a laugh socially but a bit crazy 😜 at the same time

Yes. Lots of companionable silence. Lovely.

Yep I’d date a female me

Own house cars etc. Career but able to work life balance. Funny and smart (if I do say so myself). Kids about half the time so time for a partner but not all encompassing. Hobbies (not cycling or golf) that I’m good at but don’t take over.

I’m bloody amazing come to think of it...

Yes, I'm awesome! 😂😂😂 Seriously though probably not, I'm quite anti social.

This is really thought provoking.

I've just really thought about meeting someone in the position I'm currently in - hardworking, in a senior job, financially secure, own a lovely home outright, well travelled, well qualified, fit and healthy, lots of interests and friends and actually my gut reaction was that person would be too good for me.

Wtf is that even about?

No! I mean I'd date myself I am perfect for myself but nobody else! My poor partner I really wouldn't begrudge him leaving me. I'm an introvert, prefer time alone and I'm snappy!

Definitely not. And if I find myself single again I'm getting a dog. I really dislike people and other people's children 😒

I would. I wouldn’t mind that the me I was dating was a little untidy because I am too. We’d laugh a lot and go for good walks though- and we’d have loads of animals!

@Twattergy and @User8673342566 I love your responses. So many women do not love themselves enough.

I’d date me. I’m intelligent, work hard, I’m not needy and don’t get jealous. Can be caring, and normally very funny in social situations. I’m independent when it comes to doing stuff & with money. In a relationship I’m up for a laugh and adventure, and I’m a good shag (so I’ve been told 🤣)

I’m particular about things at home mind, I like to be organised and clean, but most people like a tidy house, right? 😬 I can be snappy / grumpy, normally hormone related, but I can snap myself out of it.

God no. I'm a right pain in the ass with all my emotions, low self esteem and insecurities. For some reason, my DH sees a whole load of good things that I don't. We are quite different.

Simultaneously thinking you’re great and also not good enough.

I’m sure we all do that sometimes.

Yes, I'd do my head in but I have great tits and we could read silently together a lot.

Nope. I'm almost suicidal with grief for the love of my life, who died in July, and I'm on a complete emotional roller coaster, as well as forgetful and full of anxiety about everything and anything.

Oh Christ no.

No and it's the reason I can't do online dating. I know I don't have much to offer .
