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?

Yes, I really like me and the sex would be fabulous! I'm intelligent, self-sufficient, fairly funny, honest, open to new experiences, loyal and kind. I'm in pretty good shape and even though my hair is grey I still have a pretty face. We'd never live together though as we'd need our alone time and independence. Fortunately Girlfriend Me would totally understand that.

Nope.
I really do prefer to be single, and would probably fuck myself over to break things up.

Nope I mean I'm kind, fun and id say 6/10 looks, well educated. But I'm teetotal, anxious, go to bed early and like quiet nights in. Dh and the kids love me though!

I definitely would.

Nope. Sometimes I'm quite needy and that would put me off. I also like to take charge of certain things. Having someone who can dance would be good though as dh has 2 left feet

I would - I'm clever, funny, scrub up nicely, love travelling but also just pottering about. Solvent & love my job.

BUT does Other Me come with Other My DC?! Only that's just never going to work. I've got 3 who fight like a sackful of ferrets - 6 of them, in matching pairs, would be a bloody nightmare.

& that's without allowing for the occasional unholy alliance when they'd gang up on me & Other Me...

Yes! I’m fabulous! 😉

Mine (3 teens) do that to me (single parent) as well @CorvusPurpureus. It’s quite terrifying .

@Shesheadingonin

This is such a great question. I absolutely would date myself because I know my intentions are mainly good (not always, I’m far from perfect) and I’m always trying to self improve. When I care for someone, I love to spoil them with kindness.

me too this!!

i like me, im kind and fun. but of a challenge and kinda fickle so may not be a good long term bet but definitely dateable !!!

I would avoid me like the plague based on my dating profile bio!

@TheMarzipanDildo

I'm in a better frame of mind than I was yesterday so...

I don't know if I'd date myself honestly.

Pros: I'm kind, loyal, honest and trustworthy. I'm reasonably attractive and have a reasonably good (with notable flaws) figure but I could do with losing a stone. I'm body confident despite that. I dress to suit my body shape. I am educated and intelligent, i have a career, I have two nearly grown children, I have hobbies and interests, I have friends and im independent. I'm a good cook. I know own mind. I don't pretend to be something I'm not. I'm very good at blow jobs and I enjoy giving them.

Cons: I'm a bit chaotic, I'm insecure, my dress sense isn't appealing to the majority of men, I'm outspoken, I'm independent, I don't suffer fools gladly, I won't be coerced/manipulated into doing something I don't want to do. I'm not deferent or subservient in any way. I have a history that means certain sex acts are off the table and always will be. I need to lose a stone. I make no apologies for myself. I won't pretend to be something I'm not.

Interesting that, when I did that, some of the things I see as positives, I know men have had issues with in the past.

From the feedback I get from others, I'm a lot of fun but I'm not always easy to get close to.

Nah.

Not that I don't know my own worth or underestimate what I bring to the table but I need a partner who fills in the blanks, so to speak. DP and I make a good team because we're opposites in many ways.

I'd marry me in a heartbeat 😁

No

Taciturn and morose with a highly credible resting bitch face

Yeah! Why not! I am not everyone's cup of tea though!

God no, but I'd have a booty call with me now and again.

Good question. I'm quite hot for my age (46) but I'm a difficult cow. If my (much loved) husband croaked I don't think I would want to marry again or even live together with someone.

Nope.

I don't fancy myself at all. I'm also very quiet, so I'd bore myself to tears.

I'd date me, but I'd think long and hard before shagging myself.

I have long term ptsd and disabilities. I'm a single mum and have fatigue issues and fixate on things and get jealous and am clumsy, flaky and forgetful. Due to the disabilty and medication I've put on a shitload of weight. My mentak health and life demand mean I don't take care of my appearance anymore and I am easily triggered daily.
I'm opinionated and passionate.
I am solvent and have a reasonably good job and a beautiful home. I'm creative, funny and have some great hobbies and a real joie de vivre when I'm not skulking around being fatigued, all in pain and paranoid .
I have a very complex family
I'm on the fence about whether I'm actually date able and I feel that if I met a guy like me I'd be very cautious

Totally!

I would date me. For sure.

Absolutely not.

I'm introverted, set in my ways, process-driven to the point of rigidity and aggressively independent.

On the other hand, I'm a loyal, generous and entertaining, if slightly flaky, friend, so I wouldn't be averse to knowing me.

My wonderful OH has done a smashing job of tolerating me over the years. If I lose him before our time, I won't go looking for another one.

There was a thread on here ages ago about what you would find unattractive in a man, and I ticked so many of those boxes! I smoke, I'm overweight, untidy, have dogs, drink too much. So I wouldn't date me, no. But my DP is a really lovely man and he overlooks all of the above - I know he does because I've asked him. He sees that I am funny and kind and calm and for some reason he fancies me. Lucky me.
