PhillyDude Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 1. What do you like to do for fun? 2. When is your birthday? 3. Why are you single? 4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years 5. What accomplishment are you most proud of? I'm sure someone else has other questions they been asking during the dating getting to know process that was flat out stupid-LOL

I'm sure someone else has other questions they been asking during the dating getting to know process that was flat out stupid-LOL You're such a nit-picker... I agree with #4 and #5 though. These are typical job interview questions and I already hate them when I apply for a job. I'd really HATE them if I was on a date with someone.

I actually hung up on the girl who asked me the last question
veggirl Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 What accomplishment are you most proud of? That is just an odd question to ask. I have never been asked that. I don't even know what I'd say. I'd wonder if I was at a job interview, I'd feel nervous that I was going to give the "wrong" answer somehow. That just seems like a very formal odd question! I don't like being asked "what do you do for fun" cause I don't have any interesting hobbies On a first or early date, I'm turned off by relationship history questions.
dasein Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I used to answer "2" without thinking about it like a dumass, then one day the level of hoodoo analysis I was exposing myself to became apparent when a woman went out and had a special "star psychic reading" after finding out my "sign" and unwisely told me about it. Now I don't tell women my birthday until after we are exclusive, and unless you want to have a whole level of irrational conjecture applied to you, suggest all guys do the same. Or if one is the dishonest type, go get an astrology analysis book and learn how to manipulate women using it, I hear it works like a charm. Hey, they opened the door.
Ariadne Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 1. What do you like to do for fun? Nothing 2. When is your birthday? Why? 3. Why are you single? Nobody likes me. 4. Where do you see yourself in 5 years. Dead/hobo maybe. 5. What accomplishment are you most proud of? Nothing. 2

I actually don't mind this as I've had a strong interest in Astrology since I was 10 .
dasein Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I actually don't mind this as I've had a strong interest in Astrology since I was 10 . Then you are ahead of the pack and should be able to use that legitimate interest to get laid honestly. So many women eat that stuff up I'm surprised you haven't yet. But seriously?

So many women eat that stuff up I'm surprised you haven't yet. But seriously? I know, I have never actually thought about using it because I thought it was weird, but I didn't know how much women really liked it . Yeah, it's odd I know but at one point Astrology did actually help me discover things about myself and even others. I went deep into it, all the chart stuff and everything. I think if I used it to aid me in attracting women I would probably only use the sun sign stuff, and if I can memorize moon time tables can probe more.
esteem-jam Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah I was asked what my astrology sing is, then she tells: "weird, my previous BF was Aries too". And on one girls OKC profile it said she doesnt want to date Aries because they are so annoying, yet I felt we had near-perfect music tastes and she looked near-perfect as well, but I didnt get a reply, then deleted my profile altogether, was fed up with OLD BS.
zengirl Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) I thought for sure, "How's the job hunt coming?" would make your top 5, PD. FYI: Re - birth date and astrology. It is beyond stupid if women are asking for your birth date for that, primarily because anyone who actually believes astrology is worthwhile (I don't necessarily but it's one of those fun esoteric things I studied once upon a time -- I grew up in a culture of hoodoo and astrology so learned about it as a kid/teen) understands that date tells you nothing but Sun Sign and you vitally need TIME and LOCATION to make a chart. I'm sure TW knows that. Edited March 27, 2012 by zengirl 3

Star Gazer Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Oh, this is refreshing. I thought for sure you'd flip a lid at someone asking you, "So, what do you do for a living?" 4

I'm sure TW knows that. While I was re-evaluating my life this morning, I decided that it doesn't make sense to mention my job status unless me and a girl want to see each other for a second date. Otherwise it's no need for them to know because it's no gaurantee it's going to work out. So no more mentioning that I'm unemployed until we FEEL something and then i can said throw it in there
Author PhillyDude Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Oh, this is refreshing. I thought for sure you'd flip a lid at someone asking you, "So, what do you do for a living?" I just ask what field someone is in rather than what they actually do. So I do mention my field if asked.
RedRobin Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 You might be surprised to know that most of my female friends just care that a man can support himself. In this economy, alot of people are unemployed or underemployed. If it comes up, you might want to play up how well prepared you are for a 'rainy day'... because everyone has them. I don't know a single person who doesn't get to a certain age and doesn't experience at least one layoff... or failed promotion... or whatever. Just part of life. Regarding the top 5 stupidest questions... Anything related to what they found on Google about me. Just seems kind of lazy and intrusive to me. Doesn't leave a positive first impression. Questions like 'why are you single' seem a bit off-putting, and seem more like past tense. I'm more interested in learning about their plans for the future or things they are interested in. Some good 1st questions I've been asked... What is your dream job, or dream vacation/destination... I'm always game for questions related to pets, or current events. Favorite classes in school is a good jumping off point if you don't want to talk about careers. Any other hobby related stuff always works. 'Bucket list' questions are always fun... The bucket list are all the things you want to do before you kick the bucket... oh, and of course... When can we get together again? That's nice to hear after a good date 1
