Weeding Out the Baddies
 

I'm trying to come up with, like, four or five questions to ask myself about another person before I bother with them and their shit.

all I've come up with thus far is

Beatles or Stones?




These have to be GOOD, perceptive questions, people! I've no time for asshole shite anymore. Let's get some good weeding out Q's together and take back America.

Q1: Are you an arsehole?
Q2: Are you full of shite?
Q3: Describe how and why your last three relationships ended.
Q4: What are the contact details of the partners for the three relationships you just described?

I appreciate the sentiment that I am weeding out potential lovers here but, sadly, I am not. I am simply trying to weed out people IN GENERAL. Plus, most assholes will say they are NOT and never have been an asshole.

Could still be a good technique, though.

Okay, replace Q3 with "are you a person?". Done. ;)

Ahh, that's where Q2 gets them!

Questions you ask yourself about them or questions you ask them?

If asking yourself:

If we were both in the same revolving door and they were in a hurry, what would they do if I dropped a bag of groceries and they rolled everywhere?

Q5: What is your annual income?
Q6: How many cars do you own?
Q7: Do they have A/C?
Q8: How loud is the stereo?
Q9: Sunroof/t-tops?
Q10: How many miles are on the car(s)?

# - what three words would you use to describe yourself?
# - what brings you joy?
# - do you consider yourself to be honest/hardworking/caring or fun/exciting/attractive?

Beatles or Stones?

Robert Heinlein or Marion Zimmer Bradley?

Camping or hotel?

PC or Mac?

StarWars or Breakfast at Tiffanys?

What does it mean to be in service?

Correct answer is: it is the highest calling.

How do they behave when they think no one is looking.

How do they behave toward people like waitresses and salespeople.

Yes, yes, yes. How do they talk about people who aren't around?

I think the questions have to be specific to your values to find compatible friends. Ask about things that are central to your values (assuming you have an idea of what they are). That will at least give you a starting point, but even then, they could be assholes down the line. I don't think you can weed them out from the beginning, and frankly, I think that would be limiting. Cast your net wide, then weed the stinkers out at the other end.

Oooo - I like Dana's Q's.

good ones.

yeah, and the Ultrustic Gene...that too.

1. Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party?
2. Do you like apples?
3. Do you want to fuck?
4. What's the matter, don't you like apples?

Do you like animals?
Dog or cat? ;)

1)What kind of books do you like to read?

2)Are you open to new experiences?

3)What's your cat's name?

4)Do your friends comment on your wit/sense of humor?

5)If you found an umailed letter laying on the sidewalk, would you open it or put it in a post box?

6)If you had made plans to go out with your best woman friend, and a guy called asking for a last minute date, would you dump your friend for him?

7)Can you loan me $20.00? ;)

1. Do you own any Ed Hardy, Affliction, or Tapout clothing?

2. What's your favorite thing about "Jersey Shore"?

3. Do you pop your collar?

4. Do you slump down while driving?

5. Do you spell out all words while texting?

If the answers are anything other than no, what's that?, no, no, and yes...

Kill them. DO NOT LET THEM BREED!!!

The drinking-pina-coladas-in-the-rain-type of new experiences or the Invite-the-neighbors-for-a-sex-swap-type of new experiences?

I imagined it was type of question stalkers and creeps ask someone they just met.

Not that you are either of those Sam, I was taken back by that question too.



Bri, if you already think they have shite then, they probably do.

I look at their shoes.

Do they have pets.

Hobbies

Relationships/divorces/ single with kids/ like kids/ had any/ raised any

Do they like music

Addicted to anything

Humanistic/Nihilistic/ Too much religion on way or the other

Do they listen or do they just ramble non stop without breathing

Are they broke/ do they ask for money...

etc...etc

My list is long. I eliminate almost everyone. lol :)

Heh! Well, I guess its all in how you ask the question. Like, "If I hang out with you am I going to be bored to tears or interested in what you are going to come up with next?" might be a better way to ask it. ;)

Exactly, If I didn't like you, you'd be bored to tears because I'd be hoping you'd go away, if I liked you we would be driving to go somewhere.

Best to know what kind of activities. Concerts, hikes, the list goes on and on.
The only thing I wouldn't do is jump out of a plane or bungee jump off a bridge. Those new experiences are off my list.

I've got some quizzing experience.

"Ketchup or Mustard on your hot dog?" is the only question I ALWAYS ask. and the only one that matters in the long run.

I dunno. Last scene of "War of the Roses":

Gavin: Some story, huh?

Schlepp: What's the moral?

Gavin: Other than dog people should marry
dog people and cat people, cat people?

oh, and the answer is immaterial. What matters is HOW they answer the question.

Is it good if they answer with a question?

Only if they're Groucho Marx.

what question is ever truly answered with another question?

if they answer with a question, they might be a tad intractable.

Like - MONSTER!

:lol:

I kid, I kid...

I'm very tractful......

where's the pouty smilie? :p:

Is this funny.

Or does this smell like chloroform to you?
