Screening a date ...

Postby Fishy Seeks Master Baiter » 29 Jul 2010, 16:51

I know that when I was meeting folks from PoF, I really ended up with a very small ratio of face to face meetings versus initial emails, due to weeding out during phone convos, etc.
What question do you rely on to see if there is any promise?

To get the juices flowing, here is a list of questions (I have left the typos in) from a religiously-oriented web site that seems guaranteed to weed out evil women:

ask a woman or man these questions before dating them. If they say yes to these questions, run the other direction, dont date.

1) Do you like horror movies, or movies with lots of blood?

2) Do you have rapid mood swings, or rapid shifts in behavior? have you ever heard of borderline disorder and have the symptoms of it?

3) have you ever purposely cut yourself more than once? are you a cutter? (self mutilation)

4) have you told a man "I Love You" and has that relationship ended in a way he did not cheat a bunch of times, abuse you, did severe wrong, or die? (if answer yes, run, its a clone/souless being)

5) Do you like violent video games?

6) Do you sware a lot?

7) Do you like Oprah?

8) Do you read self-help books? have you ever blamed someone for them having depression as being their own fault

9) Are you brutal? does the word Brutal apply to you in anyway instead of the word Gentle?

10) do you have a lot of male friends and call yourself a person who gets along better with males as friends? (this question indicates a certain kind of personality in a girl that is almost always a back stabber and a non-committer, an apathic reptilian like personality)

11) Do you like snakes? Do you like reptiles?

12) Do you like skulls? do you have shoes or clothes or items or computer images with skulls on them and similar images?

13) Do you like or have tattoos of dragons, reptiles, pentagrams, skulls?



you get the point, learn how to form a long list of questions

this way you can filter out sociopaths or are possed or evil. if you deal with women (or men) who answer yes to these kinds questions , you are dealing with a person who is going to hurt and backstab you, whos not going to have empathy, etc.

Learn how to decern and see red flags in behavior and such

if you notice the woman has hyper animated, vibrant type moods with lots of humor, then also spacey moods as well, run the other direction, this woman has borderline and will destroy you.

Please don't tell them this, I may never get a date again.

That list is hilarious, and I almost missed the part where you wrote you left in the typos. This leads me to the first thing that ruled out certain men for me.

1) Do you have spell check? Can you use it, or do you just not care?

If that question was unnecessary, moving on…

2) Do you have a list of questions for a prospective date to answer? In other words, a type of test one has to pass to date you?

If so you’re entirely too rigid for me.

Too funny..interesting what they find to be the most undesirable traits...

I hate being asked a barrage of questions..and I don't ask many either...just a basic one, or, one that occurs during conversation...I like conversations that flow, and you learn by interaction..which is far more telling in my opinion than direct questions..especially about non fact type things ( ie: are they rigid thinkers? controlling etc?)...I have found it is difficult, at least for myself, and whom I attract, I guess..to find guys who can actually have a conversation as opposed to an interrogation..they resist my efforts to start a dialog..sigh..maybe I'm just weird..lol..

I can't believe the assumptions that you must be a certain way if you: like horror movies/reptiles/tatoos...lol...sheesh...

That's good stuff right there. They'd have me chained to the bed for an exorcism in about 3 1/2 minutes.

There are just times and days you have to ask yourself what have I become, what have I done, and how did I get this way?

Guess what happens in a mans mind when a woman asks a list of bizarre questions like that?

Uh huh.

Someone who says they hate you with their vagina is probably something most men would be wary of too btw.

Just saying.

Mood swing behavior in general does not necessarily mean BPD, but any such behavior that indicates unstable emotional thought processes like what you mention this should be a major red flag.

You need too be OPENMINDED, NONJUDGEMENTAL, and prefferably a smoker. I am in Recovery from Crack/Cocaine Addiction after leaving detox. I still drink& smoke weed. There is always a chance of relapse and somone i would get close too would have too be prepared if that were too happen. I have a long History of Suicide Attempts & SI. So Am i Your Perfect Girl ? Highly Doubt That.. But i am A Genuine, Kind, Loving Person.. With a Temper of course ;). I love foreplay. LADYGAGA is my favorite, As Is Xtina. I like almost any kind of movie. I preffer a "masculine" man, but he doesnt have too be, just because your somewhat femminate doesn't mean you have no chance, because i know im no 1;st place trophy eighter. So if all this hasnt scared you off ... Hit me up.


This is a wonderful paragraph from a profile that I ran across on a dating site.

No clear red flags here either.

does she live in Ottawa? did you find her on POF?

Sounds like a great catch and a future episode of a Jerry Springer show? is Springer still on TV?
