That must be a standard dating line - we must have all been asked some dull things, offensive things, funny things or weird things. The most recent funny weird thing i was asked by a male went something like this "So.....do you like women?" My response "Some of my best friends are women" I don't think it was quite what he was asking but i did begin to wonder what this male was actually looking for in a woman. When someone asks you to tell them about yourself - what is the response?

Mine usually goes something like this: What would you like to know? throw the ball back in their court so to speak.Then I guess you spend a lot of time answering questions. A mate of mine has a prepared "script" that he just copies and paste. Then there is always the old "Havent you read my profile"? but overall the person asking the question "So......tell me about yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!" is just being lazy.

Yeah I tend to agree - if someone is interested in getting to know you (as far as online-wise), they could at least read your profile and get some info about you from there confused

My experience so far has been that guys rarely ask about my interests, they're more interested in yakking on about themselves sad flower

either that or you face a barrage of questions but they dont give any info about themselves unless you just about wring it out of them.

I always like to try and just let things flow, finding out about each other as you chat, rather than either face or give the inquisition

just another complete waste of time, just after what they want, not considering what the other person wants for their life.

and, I know not all men are like that, but sheesh, there are way too many of them out there!

Well I'm concentrating on my finances, and being debt-free in the very near future.

Have another 10 years or so of working life left and I won't owe anyone a cent - that's gotta be a good thing wine
