The Dating Quiz

I found this on Craigslist. Author unknown.  MB

I had some doubts about meeting someone decent on Craigslist, but I thought I'd check it out. The women4men section yielded nothing worth responding to. Now I did notice someone had a quiz. It was lame so I didn't answer. I made my own:

1. First things first, what's your excuse for being here?

a. Sheer entertainment. But the post was interesting so I had to respond.

b. Sheer entertainment. The post was interesting and I had to respond, but I have no intention of ever meeting you.

c. I can't con anyone into going out with me in real life.

d. I can't find anyone to go out with in real life, because every guy I have run into is the same, typical, sacramento-area asshat.

e. I can't find anyone to go out with in real life because I am a pretentious twit.

f. Who needs an excuse to be here? In fact, once we do meet, I will enthusiastically announce to everyone this is where we met!



2. How long does it take you to get ready for work?

a. Work? As in, a job? Not applicable!

b. 10 minutes. I barely even brush my teeth. Brushing the top row is good enough.

3. What is your educational level?


a. High school

b. GED (Good Enough Diploma!)

f. PhD, JD, MD, etc. (and yes, I am better than you for it.)

4. What is your occupational status?

a. None, still in school.

b. Still in school, but have a job, thus I have no time to actually hang out with you.

c. Still in school, have a job, and still have time to hang out with you because hey, who needs sleep?

b. It sucks, and I will make sure you hear about it every...single...day.

c. It sucks, but it's a means to an end, and how I spend the rest of my time keeps me sane.

b. 10 minutes. I'm secretly a man.

c. 11-90 minutes.
