Dating Resume

Recommended Posts

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?

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. :P

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 :ph34r:

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...

No, that would mean you'd date them for how they looked! You are simply dating them based on limited knowledge.

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! :D It's better to know those things from the start, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Simple:

Front:

B*tch

Back:

B*tch



one of my friends in college always used to talk about how we could use the fact that we were christian to pick up girls, and then take them to a
bible study instead of hooking up with them.

So in honor of Curtis my shirt would say,
front:

I Love Jesus:D
and on the back:

I love Jesus:( (so i'll be good I promise....)

Ahh, what a wonderful world.
