Weeding Out the Baddies

Trilby · 03-11-2011, 05:31 AM

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?

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?
