I recently meet someone and was going to ask them to describe themselves in a paragraph. I realized I wasn’t able to do it myself. I also wasn’t sure how they would react. I thought I would ask here first and see how you folks react.
I’ll define paragraph as three to four sentences.
…without doxxing yourself.
Ha! Yeah, if anyone actually responds please don’t do that!! 🙂
That sounds horribly transactional. Like you’re asking people to apply for a job as your friend.
That may just be me, but I wouldn’t react well if someone approached conversation like a job interview.
As stated fair point. Again, coming to the collective to gather data helps us be better people. Didn’t actually ask, and feedback suggests don’t do it… as such I won’t.
Thanks for responding, appreciated!!
It’s an interesting idea. I think it’s just the phrasing. You’re giving someone, socially and conversationally, an instruction. That’s bound to illicit a knee jerk “you’re not the boss of me!” reaction, mentally if not verbally.
I can absolutely see that as a way this question could be interpreted. It felt like a “bright idea” at the time but, not so much now. My plan is to just keep letting things play out as they have been.
Oh I’m just… a … regular type dude >!.. with a big-ass dick!<
Long and hairy, hard to carry. Grumpy but tolerable in small doses. Absurd at any dose.
