What kind of relationship man\woman are you?

[TheStatutoryApe]

The WHAAAA?

Is there really such a category?

I think that I saw that one the last time I saw this test somewhere.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Zooby, how come out of all the guy types on the list, you're the only one on the list I am supposed to avoid? I don't get it - you're the person I know and trust the most -- and we even have the same birthday!

Do you think if we ever met it would be like matter and anti-matter and everything would go KA-POWIIEE!? or kp-pffp! or squeee-shoompt! or whatever it might sound like on the path to annhilation?

We could always have a CA PF gathering and find out.

I'm sure they designed the quetionaire very scientifically, measuring out their cocaine very precisely before they set to work. I wouldn't doubt they conducted exhaustive interviews as well, calling up as many as five or six of their buddies. The naming of the categories alone must have required intense brainstorming and several sixpacks. I notice they ask for date of birth, day, month, year, so I have an inkling they fortified the whole thing with sociological data from an astrology book picked up for $1.99 at a checkout counter somewhere.

Actually that site is incredibly accurate when it comes to describing people. I have yet to see it make a mistake, and it's worth mentioning that most of my friends are on that website.

I'm not objecting to the description of me very much, but I'm supposed to avoid Math Is Hard. How can that be? She's like my best bud here at PF and we E-Mail off the board as well.

The Backrubber
Deliberate Gentle Sex Dreamer (DGSDm)

Lusty but indirect. Kind, but also using friendship as a means to sex. Oh, that feels gooood.

We call you "The Backrubber" because you straddle that fine line between coming on to someone and just treating her nicely. Backrubs are just one example; you'd meet for coffee, or talk about books/movies, or even argue a little bit, all the while mostly preferring to screw.

Your exact opposite:
The Vapor Trail

Random Brutal Love Master
Your indirect approach is not some evil trickery, but rather a result of your open mind. You'd enjoy either love or sex, but the latter definitely doesn't require the former. While you are responsible and ambitious, you absolutely DON'T have uptight views on relationships. So ultimately, you just enjoy a woman, and let things take their course. If she wants you, great. If not, that's fine too.

When the time comes, you'll be very happy settling down. Your ideal mate is gentle and horny, just like you.

ALWAYS AVOID: The Peach

CONSIDER: The Playstation

Hmmm :/ I'm much more into love than sex. I'm almost more into physics than sex. This is kind of wrong.

Yes, I agree. Zoob and I are sort of yin/yang versions of each other in many ways. I don't think we've ever seriously "butted heads" about anything, no matter how much we might disagree on something.

I don't know, that site keeps telling me I'm too picky. Honestly, after filling out a bunch of those surveys, and then asking it to find me a match, with my only criteria being a straight male within 50 miles of where I live between the ages of 30 and 40, it told me there weren't any! It said I was too picky and should broaden my search! So then I went with any straight male within 1000 miles of home, and it tried matching me with a transvestite, and a whole lot of computer geeks...not like the nice, cute geeks here, but the really dorky, "I haven't had many relationships and could never give up my RPGs for a female" types. Oh, and then there's the one that actually sounds nice, but says, "I just filled this out for fun, I'm already attached, sorry." See, I knew there weren't any good ones left.

(Okay, there seemed to be a glitch when it gave me that "you're too picky" error...but still...that was just mean. )

It won't let me broaden my search beyond 1000 miles though. What if my perfect match lives 1001 miles away? I'll never find him. And I can't go back and tell it anyone male and breathing now. :shy: I think I need to move to a new planet to find a fresh batch of eligible candidates.

 

[Gale]

you can do a global search moonbear. just change the search type. I've already met some cool people. I'm so pathetic really. i actually already offered to meet someone. I'm bad...

 

[Math Is Hard]

I don't think anyone you would want to meet would be on that website, Moonie - except as maybe a lark. So there's no one interesting out in WV?

Thanks...though I'm not seriously looking. I just like filling out surveys and taking quizzes. I did put a profile up, but without posting a pic, I know nobody is going to take a closer look...not that I wouldn't consider someone if they did show interest, just that I don't think I'm very good at picking out people to date through that sort of medium. I was more curious if there was anybody local with shared interests just to meet to hang out and do stuff. I need to meet more people than just my co-workers and sheep (oh, right, sheep aren't people ...see how badly I need to meet some new people?)

Just be careful. One time I met a person on that site and she was literally like 300 pounds. I had no idea you could have a skinny face but have an enormous body.

Moonbear what's your profile link? I want to see if we could make it

please tell me you'll be careful! I worry.

 

[Moonbear]

Define interesting.

I don't think this is the sort of place to find single men my age. Tons of students, but it seems the people my age who move here are mostly already married. This is when I start to miss living in the NJ/NY area, where it's totally normal for people to be in their 30s and still single because they focused on a career first (I never even minded being single there, because there were plenty of other single people, so you didn't always feel like the odd one out going out with couples).

 

[Gale]

i'll be careful, i don't even know if we'll meet, and if we do, its in a few weeks. and I'm really doubting he's 300 lbs, cause he has like most of his upper body shown, but we'll see. we shall see... its fun though cause i get to weed through people pretty easy. my mandatory questions are all about math and grammar. a guy's got to have good math and grammar skillz if he wants a match with me.

 

[Moonbear]

Just be careful. One time I met a person on that site and she was literally like 300 pounds. I had no idea you could have a skinny face but have an enormous body.

I can't imagine what sort of body goes with the faces of the guys I've been finding on there. When you just look at random pictures of people who are signed up without any search criteria indicated, has anyone else noticed that there are an awful lot of people on that site that you can't quite tell if they're male or female from their pictures? This is why I don't usually bother attempting online dating services, but, on the off-chance some suitable guy happens to stumble in there the way I did, since it's free, why not try it, right?

Moonbear what's your profile link? I want to see if we could make it

I think you're a bit on the young side.

I'll warn you, my profile is long...I haven't been sleeping well lately, so had nothing better to do. I chose the username ctchmeifucan (Okay, I tried about 6 others to get my quiz results and it kept telling me I wasn't creative enough, so I finally got creative and goofy.) Then again, I don't think there's anything in my profile that the regulars in GD don't already know about me (hence my willingness to share it).

 

[ShawnD]

Moonbear:
Match: 83% Friend: 83%

You're a closer match than my current internet love affair (79 match, 81 friend). That's certainly interesting

 

[CosminaPrisma]

Meeting people from internet dating sites sounds really scary. I've heard of it working for some people but that's when they either met in a chatroom or on a message board first and came across each others profile that way. Or they were just plain lucky on match.com and it turned out the person that they were meeting wasn't an axe murderer. :)
Be careful & take a friend if any of you decide to meet a non-PFer on okay cupid or anyone from the net for that matter. I worry!

Aww...see, I'm not lying when I keep telling the younger guys around here that if I were still 10 or 15 years younger, or they were older, or we split the difference in between somehow, that they'd be a really good catch. I'm still waiting for Greg to set up the PF Dating Service.

What's interesting is that when I followed Gale's instructions and tried doing a "World Search" instead of a local search, I apparently match up with a lot more men in Canada than anywhere else. Maybe I should've taken the offer to move to Canada when I had the chance! Nah, it's still too cold for me up there. *shivers at the thought*

That's quite common. You see that in those "big women" models. Unfortunately my face is the first place on my body that shows fat.

I used to work with a girl that was completely normal from her head to her waist, then from her waist down she was HUGE. I mean freakishly huge.

The Boy Next Door
Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDm)

Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet.

We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what.

Your exact opposite:
The 5-Night Stand

Deliberate Brutal Sex Master
On paper, most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with girls. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold.

More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not.


ALWAYS AVOID: The Nymph

CONSIDER: The Maid of Honor, The Peach

Not offering any kids backrubs. Happily married.

 

[Gale]

i haven't scored very well with any pfers... i don't think I'm logical enough for the people here. I'm too spontaneous or immature or something i guess... sucks...

anyway, i wish my matches were all located in one country... apparently i like me some exoctic boys.

EDIT: moonbear, you've taken some nice tests there. However, i scored higher than you on potterpoints... woot! (i'm a geek)

You should check out tribe.net Moonie. I tried to get a link for Tribe WV but it the site automatically routes me to Tribe LA. I did a search though and found that there are definitely WV people on there. They even have it set up so that you can search for groups or forums of people with similar interests.

This link goes to the DGLMm page, but there are links to all 32 of the personality types at the bottom of the page. I guess that the g=1 switch corresponds to gender=male, and that the o=1 switch corresponds to sexual orientation=straight.

Thanks, Aether. Reading over some of the other male types I now no longer feel the one I got describes me any better than three or four others I picked at random to read.

I also read, at random, a few of the womens descriptions, and I see that they're all worded generally and vaguely enough that each might fit 50% of the women who read it.

Hey! It's gorgeous up here! We voted against winter this year. It's been grand.

I did that test mabob and came up with this:

The Maid of Honor
Deliberate Gentle Love Master (DGLMf)


Appreciated for your kindness and envied for all your experience, you are The Maid of Honor.

Charismatic, affectionate, and terrific in relationships, you are what many guys would call a "perfect catch"--and you probably have many admirers, each wishing to capture your long-term love. You're careful, extra careful, because the last thing you want is to hurt anyone. Especially some poor boy whose only crime was liking you.


We've deduced you're fully capable of a dirty fling, but you do feel that post-coital attachment after hooking up. So, conscientious person that you are, you do your best to reserve physical affection for those you respect...so you can respect yourself.

Your biggest negative is the byproduct of your careful nature: indecision. You're just as slow rejecting someone as you are accepting them.


ALWAYS AVOID: The False Messiah, The 5-Night Stand, The Vapor Trail, The Bachelor

CONSIDER: The Gentleman, someone just like you.

Hey! It's gorgeous up here! We voted against winter this year. It's been grand.

I didn't know you could just vote it away! I vote for no more winter too! Is it too late? Did they already hold the election? Who voted FOR it?

Yours sounded like you, Moonbear. Do you suppose this sounds like me? I'm not sure.

That one sounds more like it's just flattery rather than much substance; anyone would be happy to be told they're a "perfect catch." Though, careful sounds like you.

I told you I was having fun taking the quizzes, Gale! I've been using other people's profiles as a fun way to find quizzes...I'd look through their list and see what sounded fun and then take the quiz to see how my score compared. Sounds like you're doing the same, Miss Potterpoints!

 

[Gale]

hehehe, yeah, the tests are good fun. every time i look at someone's i look through their tests. I've taken so many now. good news is I'm a nerd, but a good lay, i know my harry potter and if i was a color, i'd be plum. got all the vitals down!
