Vallerina 2 #1 October 20, 2004 I have a theory that life would be much simpler for everyone if they just started handing out dating resumes before seeing someone. I'm not talking about the online personals kind of resume where you try to sell yourself. I'm talking about an actual resume that you hand over to someone who is already considering you. My friend elaborated on this idea and suggested that people should wear shirts to the bars. The front of the shirt has your good qualities, and the back of the shirt has your bad qualities. You can look at someone's back and think "Yikes, I can't handle that," or think "That's not so bad." What do you all think? If someone handed you their dating resume, wouldn't it be easier to know their flaws right off the bat?There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #2 October 20, 2004 Yeah, but how many times have you padded a working resume? And when we get asked that question about what our least admirable quality is, how often do we dig into cheese-central for the "My tendency to work too hard" type answers. If people were more honest all around, it would certainly help...but that would preclude the NEED for that dating resume anyway.

davedlg 0 #3 October 20, 2004 So would this resume include "refrences" and would you check them?? That could sure get ugly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,587 #4 October 20, 2004 Each time you break up with someone, they get to replace one line of your weaknesses, and one line of your strengths, and you get to replace one each of theirs. Each time you date someone more than twice, the same exchange happens. That way it should balance out, and reflect what others see. You can always ask me for advice -- I have many answers Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #7 October 20, 2004 QuoteIf someone handed you their dating resume, wouldn't it be easier to know their flaws right off the bat? It would be, but it sure wouldn't be much fun. What about the intrigue of getting to know someone? What about false expectations of what a person means to you? Can a resume give that chemistry that you find with others? That would be the ultimate in judging a book by its cover, wouldn't it? "She seems qualified to date me, but I'm going to put her on a probationary period for 30 days where she can be terminated without cause at any time." I'd rather figure out for myself... My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vallerina 2 #9 October 20, 2004 QuoteThat would be the ultimate in judging a book by its cover, wouldn't it? No, that would mean you'd date them for how they looked! You are simply dating them based on limited knowledge. QuoteI'd rather figure out for myself... Not me! I'd like to know everything right up front! Give me what ya got! If the flaw is something like, "I hate most people," well, that I can deal with. If the flaw is something like, "I'm a workaholic" that's something that I just can't deal with!

So in honor of Curtis my shirt would say, front: I Love Jesus and on the back: I love Jesus (so i'll be good I promise....) Ahh, what a wonderful world.
