Would You Date Yourself?
I was listening to the radio on my way home from work today and one of the guys on the radio mentioned a question that was going around Facebook. Apparently the question is “If you were someone else, would you date yourself?”
If you were someone else, would you date yourself?

no. and i feel like you already asked this before. o.O
Yeah
Absolutely not. I’m an unpredictable bitch.
Wasn’t this question on Datingish a week ago?
And to answer, no.
Why yes, yes I would.
I’d probably become a wife beater to said self, but yes, I would definitely hit that.
Hell yeah. But I don’t know that it would last.
Sure
where do you get these ridiculous pictures, anyway?
no.
Gah! This is one of those questions that will have me thinking in circles all night.
oh yeah I would. I’m freaking awesome!
Nahhhhh don’t think so xP.
absolutely. i love myself! lol =P
I would totally try. I’m a really good catch
Actually; I dated a girl who was remarkably (to the point of eerie) like me for about six months, and in the end — it was probably the self-loathing that did it in.
Boosh!
Not no but, HELL NO!
Yeah, but eventually I’d break up with me b/c I’m too frigid.
Only if I just wanted a piece of ass..
No, I’m a mess.
Sure. I would have to get used to my lame jokes though.
If I was somebody else, my self wouldn’t exist for me to date anyway.
Only if the person whose body I’m in is hot.
Now yes, if you would have asked me a few years ago, I would of said probably not. It’s amazing what getting some self-confidence does.
Absolutely!
Maybe if I know me. But looking at everyone else’s reactions, I’d probably be too paranoid and end up dumped by countless other jerks until I fall for the one I know isn’t cheating because he said he doesn’t do other women now that we’re together. Except I don’t fall for first impressions or even well rehearsed charm. So yeah, definitely.
yes.
depends if i would be a fag or not haha jk jk i doubt it to this question i would have to say i dont know
Considering I would be “me” dating “me”…then, yes. But only because it means I would have the same level of intelligence, looks, etc. Everything would seem balance. The issue is that the myself that I’m dating would have issues with the lack of intellectual conversation…because “she”…”I” like to learn from whomever I date and I wouldn’t be able to learn much from me.
But, other than that. Yeah, I’d probably still recommend me to a friend…a cute friend…
Hell no.
Actually yes, I would.
Mentally yes, Physically no.
There would be no physical attraction what-so-ever and thats probably the only thing keeping us (as humans) from dating ourselves…well that and cloning hasn’t gotten that far.
yeahhhhh, i would. and it would last forevah.
I honestly think I might.
i always have wished i could find a guy with my exact personality and date him. i feel like that might be conceited, but i just really like myself. hahahaha.
yes..because im weird and different!! yay!
We would have sex on the first date. WOOH.
Hell no, I’m a mess.
Why not? Maybe not…
Of course! I’m intelligent, witty, I eat like a horse and every man knows THE TREATMENT is waiting for him if he gets out of line. What’s not to love?
Yeah. Im tasty.
No. I prefer well muscled blondes. Nice forearms are necessary.
Besides, I’m way too laid back for my taste. I’d quickly become bored with me.It would only lead to heartbreak. eventually betrayal.The whole thing would likely end in murder. jail. or worse. living life as a fugitive from justice.
We’re just not good for each other.
personality wise, heck yes. looks… not so much.
Dear Dan,
I haven’t been able to date myself seriously since that time back in 86 when I jilted me.
Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philsopher, fool.
haha NO
Self love is the all natural opiate.
Heh, I’ve actually thought about that before and I totally would.
But I would probably smack myself over my lame puns.
Nah. I’m too boring.
Yeah, I’m freaking hilarious.
No… >.
So, now that I’ve faced reality, I’ve got to start making myself more dateable… advice?
no… i over analyze everything that everyone says. i’d be a complete blubbering mess and i don’t think i could handle myself.
YES. I wish there was another me so I could date me. Not entirely sure who would do the cooking, but I love me. <3
I already do.
It’s called single-parenting for life.
Quite possibly, as long as I wasn’t in the depressant moods… I would want to date the strong, independent woman I can and will be… not the stupid wussy girl I was.
Nope, im a crazy bietch.
Regardless of who I was, dating oneself would not be possible unless you are referring to stating things that reveal one’s age… in that case, I date myself on occasion. I guess in that sense, it’s kind of an “one-again off-again” kind of thing.
only if i put out
NO =P
Probably not. I can get overly emotional. I have trust issues based on past experinces. I can get really mean when i joke around. However, i make a great friend lol.
i suppose i would.
hell yeah. i’m easy. and i can cook.
hell yea ! totally would in a heartbeat too
I probably would not date myself i think im a bit to all over the place :/ this question seems to hold all the keys to my questions.
hellllll no
I’ve always wished I could clone myself and date myself. Seriously, sounds narcissistic but I love myself and know myself and I think I’d be a great partner for myself :-p.
I don’t know about dating me but I would most def. have a one night stand with me.
Absolutely. I am a great person. (and modest too
)
No, but that’s because I already have someone. I guess the question also seems foolish to me, since I stand on my own two feet and face the world as a whole human being..”dating” isn’t something I would do or consider important.
yes, i know what I’m and i think I’m a real good person , awesome, pretty coool and every thing that any one could wish for ;P
loool really i love me … way too much it seems
No, no. :/
maybe. haha
that is a damn good question to think about, but Yes of course I would. I’m freaking awesome!
However, i first come across as a bitch especially if i don’t know you. I have flaws – many of them
On the up side, I love God & people, am a good friend, I have a good heart and really I am not a bitch at all once you get to know me, I’m funny in a sarcastic way usually and can give you a run for your money HAHAA and I would of course want the same in the guy. I tell the truth and am a loyal and faithful girlfriend so YEAH MAN… I’m rad & would date myself
damn yeah – why not!
because in the end you won’t have to suffer picking up phone – putting it down – picking it up again and try to ask her if she wants to hang around one more time.yeah its easy – but not with someone you met who’s spectacular, the fragility makes it more complicated – even to ask simple questions in first few times.
Absolutely not.
I would probably want to get into my pants, but I don’t know about proper dating…
Sure. I like myself!
i actualy dont think that i could handle dateing myself, even if i was a different person, i think im to self concious, im not anything special to look at, and im boring to talk to
and i think i would get fed up with the fact that i have comitment issues, i wouldnt cheat on myself but the relationship wouuldnt last long
No one else will, so I’m sure I wouldn’t either.
I would try to date myself although ultimately my mouth and my occasional nasty attitude would be the downfall.
This is an old idea. Woody Allen did something on narcissistic dating where the funny scene shows the doctor attracted to his assistant who was the image of himself; and SNL has done parodies on online dating where the client ends up with the perfect match (no old maids in the deck).
I would.
nah. i’m an asshole.
Well, I know myself really well, so yeah. But if it were just going on looks…I don’t know.
Yeah, but I’d have to wait in line, since everybody else wants to date me too. Ha ha!
hell no.
That would depend entirely on who I was. If I had the same personality I do now I would find me a bit too familiar… too much self recognition in the person of someone else can be down right unnerving.
Sure.
Hell yeah I would. I’m fucking awesome.
No, I need to date someone who’s the yin to my yang. I couldn’t date someone just like me, it’d be too boring or tedious.
Hellllllllllllllllllllll yeah.
No I don’t think I would…two submissive people is not a good match.
Yes!
There was a Seinfeld episode on this. He dated a girl who was just like him. There was no difference between the two except that he was he and she was jsut another women out there. Great episode by the way.
It’s hard to say. I know myself really well and am well aware of my shortcomings. I know I do have good qualities, but since I live with myself all the time, I know about all the bad ones, too.
When I think of dating myself, but as someone else, all I can think of is two “me’s” dating each other, both with my quirks, both with the exact same personality, and I think, no…not enough balance.
Unless I pitied myself? NOOOOOOOOOO no way in he**.
How do I know: I met someone very similar to me a few years ago. We both emit similar auras. He still creeps me out. Not good.
But then again, if I was someone else, I would have different standards and possibly prefer some of my personality traits… so I can’t really tell, can I?
no i wouldn’t
nope
I think I would date myself… Maybe. Hm.
LOL
I should ask my friends this question….
Hells yes!
Probably not… but I would sleep with myself. =P
Hell no. I can’t stand myself.
nah, i don’t like old ppl! peace, Al
Yes, I am fawesome.
Oh heck yea! Because I’m one of a kind! = D
I suppose so. I complain a little too much sometimes, and I really don’t like to just end an argument without solving it, and my bedroom is messy, but other than that, I’m pretty likeable and dateworthy… I think.
Date? Heck, I’d ELOPE with myself!
No way!
Well sure but two sets of firefighter schedules would be a bitch : p
Yes, if I could find myself, and get to know myself and build up the courage to ask myself out and then if I responded positively I would.
Hell naw! Lol
Depends. I think I would be best friends with myself for a long time before and possibly try it.
Depends on the month.
maybe.
sure…I don’t know why not?
Sadly, No.
no
Nope. I’d never listen to myself, and I wouldn’t like that very much.
Probably not
Definitely not.
@saintvi - I agree!
Hell fucking no. I’m crazy, not stupid.
Haha awww hell no.
Hell no, God knows where that bitch has been.
I’d date me because I know I would be treated well and have no lack for love. Since I’m pretty easy going I’m sure I’d get along well and would probably have a wonderful time doing all the things I like to do.
So if I could just clone myself as a woman I guess I’d be set.
Idk I am kind of needy which a turn of even for myself.
I’d probably want to. Do a first date. But probably not after that… but that’s because I know me, lol. @imasilentheart - He did ask it before, I remember it too!
Yes. I don’t care if I’m ugly. I’d hit it.
umm… maybe… maybe not…
Yeah, ’cause I have a hot body.
This question isn’t about whether or not you’re datable, its about how you view yourself and your behavior in relationships. Either you think highly of yourself or you think lowly of yourself. I prefer to let other peopple decide what they’re willing to deal with.
I’m not self-aware enough to be able to answer this question honestly. I think I’d be missing out, though, if I didn’t give me a shot.
no, i dont date fat chicks.
if i were myself, i would date myself. if i were someone else, i might not be right for me.
easy. not a chance in hell. i’m too insane and hard to put up with.
No, because that’d be kinda boring. I don’t want to date someone who has all my interests, and, even if you don’t count that, someone who has all my personality traits. Where’s the fun in that?
I think a more pertinent question is… do I think others should date me?
if i was someone else fuck yea i’ll date me..if i was myslef..fuck no i wouldnt date myself
Yeah, I would actually. I mean, I converse with myself all of the time anyway. This can’t be much different.
Eh, probably not. I’m too crazy and insecure. But I don’t know… I’m a sweetheart too.. Maybe?
*looks left* …
*looks right* ….
*raises hands*….
OKKKKKKKK… so I HAVE before…
what?????
I worked at this small office building that had mirrored coating on the windows to cut down on air conditioning bills. Every year, in the spring, we would hear knocking on the windows. It was a single bird perched on the sill pecking endlessly on the image he saw. I figured he always thought he had found the perfect mate, someone just like him. Kind of sad.
No. It might confuse the dog.
yup
Probably not.. I’m very unpredictable.
…most definitely, because i could do a lot worse!
…
I would make a most dysfunctional couple.
I would totally date myself. How many women are not clingy, can watch sports, and laugh at Harold & Kumar with you?
Haha, I doubt it, but I would definitely want to be friends with me.
i would sooooo date myself lol
hahaha,, do i look like a perv??
Well yeah!!
Probably
Eh..mebbe not… I have some bad habits that need to be broken first before I can date again.
Hell no. My neglect to return text messages and phone anxiety would make me extremely hard to talk to and get ahold of. I also snore when my seasonal allergies come. No one wants to sleep next to a snoring girl.
I really dont think so..I’m terrible =
Which is why I’m grateful and appreciative of everyone I have in my life (:
I am stubborn, way too independent, I don’t let anyone take care of me and I could not possibly care less about kissing….so no, I definitely would not date myself.
No way, I have a hard time understanding myself, let alone someone else trying to understand me.
No. I would not. Well, I must commend you for posting this,Dan. It really made me think. For the first time ever, I can finally say that now I realize why my love life has fallen to an all time low for a few years now. All thanks to this interesting question. I didn’t even realize it, but yeah, I don’t like myself much either. I have a lot of fixing up to do for myself. Now I can start to somewhat understand my bad luck with women.
Absolutely
No, definitely not!
no i think i need someone different than myself ~
yes…yes I would indeed.
my attraction goes opposite.
Yes, forever. <3
