Mole Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I have voted no ('cos it just wouldn't happen unless we were both bolted to the floor and very, very drunk at the time :o ) but if I did at least I wouldn't argue with myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5_♦♣ Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't know. Seems like an interesting idea but... I'd probably end up strangling myself or something by the end of the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amara Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 No. Interesting concept, but it would either become boring very quickly or turn into the Me² episode of Red Dwarf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKindredSoul Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 No way. If there was a copy of myself...I would probably run off to the furthest region in the world and go into hiding... It would be strange looking at myself, never mind dating (I am aromantic anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockey Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I put yes and then read your post and realized that although I'd want to be in a relationship with such a person, it probably wouldn't be romantic. But I'm looking for a coparent who shares my values and nobody shares my values as much as I do... I am not voting on this poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcovia Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 No, no, no! The idea of dating myself, be it a clone or time travel or anything else, is just plain squicky. I'd be unable to view my male self as anything other than a brother, and I'm not partial to incest. Even if the idea didn't gross me out, I'd simply be a terrible partner for myself. Any potential partner of mine needs to balance out with me in certain ways, and to make up for my flaws just as I would for them. If I dated myself or anyone like myself we'd encourage each others flaws and ignore our strengths, if we didn't drive each other away first. All of that said, I could see benefiting from having a "brother" in the form of my male self. At the very least, we'd always have someone we can place all of our trust in.

Faust Darkwell Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 No, because if I ever met someone like me, I'd be quite annoyed by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebre Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 No. I have a far too stubborn of a personality for it to be compatible with itself as well as way too quick of a temper. Lots of shouting would result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Alien Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Definitely not. I'm unattractive and annoying. Even if I weren't, I wouldn't want to date someone too similar to me. I think that'd be boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libra4ever Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I always dreamed that i could do that. I date myself now eheheheh i love myself for who i am. I believe i would make the best possible soulmate for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Taste of Harmony Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I used to joke to my friends to answer their question which was, " So who do you want to date or who's your type?" I said, "The opposite sex of myself." And I think I kind of dong that now. Well only in my head though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byanyotherusername Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 ...But, how like me could male-me possibly be? Same life experiences/circumstances, or just same personality? Because I feel like I would be a very different person if it weren't for certain circumstances in my life, and it would be bizarre to meet someone who had gone through or was going through the exact same combination of things. I mean, would there friends and family be identical to my friends and family? Would their education/job/clients be just like mine? I just don't see how that could be possible. So, conceivably I could meet someone who was male (already a vastly different life experience than mine), with my same basic personality and worldview, and similar enough life circumstances to be eerily coincidental, but not physically impossible. And this person would probably be interesting enough for me to get to know (and I'd love to get to know their friends, haha)...but would I date them? I mean, if they had the same view of relationships as I did, it could potentially work, but if they had the same views of relationships I did, we would probably decide to just be friends. XDI would be willing to try dating this theoretical male version of myself, but I don't know if I could commit. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Darkhorse Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 No. Hell No. NO. And no. Every time I imagine me trying to date myself, I just end up envisioning me dating a combination of House and Severus Snape. That person is a total ass. I don't even recommend other people that aren't like me at all dating me. So...no. Just no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katjaface Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I would definitely not date me. From past experience, and how I treat people now I don't feel bad how I treat people but it wouldn't work right to date someone like me. Not to say that it wouldn't be interesting how this mess of manipulation ended up. But it would either end up as just that and us spiraling out of control, or us keeping each other in check and no longer hurting any one around each other. But it's not my fault I do that. I don't live with the philosophy: I think more about how some people have yet to realize that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockey Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I voted yes. I've always thought yes. Recently somebody made me rethink that; I realized that I have a strong desire to show off my knowledge and be right all the time. I tend to get along better with people who are not on equal footing with myself. So I think it would take more work for me to get along with somebody like myself. But I think it'd be worth the time and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inqueertime Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Absolutely not. I'm aggravating. I'm not exactly what I would call appealing, in my eyes. The list goes on and on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I may have a gazillion flaws, but all things considered, a person who's exactly like me would probably make the greatest romantic partner I'd ever imagine. Plenty of cuddling, plenty of nerding and plenty of fractal-making. :D I believe two people should be diverse enough to enrich each other in a couple, but... I have such exotic tastes and interests that I hardly ever find someone I can share them with. And the sharing part of a relationship is important to me. So, if I had another self (preferably the opposite sex of myself, same sex and same physical appearance would be very creepy) I'd definitely give them a chance romantically.

AppleEye Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yes please! I mean technically, it might be a problem because I'm not attracted to girls, but, at the risk of sounding self obsessed, there's nothing I;d love more than to date someone exactly like me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sure, why not? Yes, same interests could become boring. But, given my major interest is something I wouldn't mind being shared so we could work towards a certain life goal together, that would probably make up for it. Plus, we could play video games together! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purnkin Spurce Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Technically if there was another person out there JUST like me..no. That would be odd, but yeah I think I am a decent date-able person..to an ace maybe? But if we wanna get super technical..I am already dating myself. I do everything with myself until I find that other person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissUnderstood Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I was gonna say yes because I would get along well with the boy me, except that we would look like twins and that would be weird :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirge Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I don't think that me and I would get along in a dating sort of way. It is more likely that we would be introduced, have an awkward conversation, then never bother to contact each other again. (Unless one of us mentioned Fallout, Silent hill, writing, steampunk, or cooking with whiskey, in which case we'd have a lovely conversation...then likely never bother to contact each other again.) I think that I need a fairly bubbly and understanding counterpart, not another me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
真夜中 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Date myself? My spontaneousness when I feel I am boring myself already leads me to think about the randomest things and practice towards the most irrelevant goals. Because of this, if there were another me, we would very quickly diverge and have slightly differing personalities, more so over time. There would be no awkwardness between us and most of our ideas and ideals would resonate, however, it would not be boringly so. So for me it would probably be a yes. Next would be to think about the effects of dating your clone on your current life... instantly two of me, world domination is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescens Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I voted yes. I believe if people are going to be friends with me, I would have to be willing to be friends with myself. If someone is going to love me, I need to love myself. I generally love everything about myself, flaws and all. Whoever I would be with would have flaws, no one is perfect. I would love and accept whoever I would be with just as I would myself, I enjoy my own company very much and content to be alone. I'm aware of my flaws and work on self-improvement daily, so I know if I were dating myself and something would drive myself bonkers in the short-term, it would (eventually) get better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexM Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If any of you have seen the utterly genius, brilliant and magnificent film The Prestige, then you may perhaps remember the scene when Tesla's cat meets Tesla's cat. Tesla's cat's do not like one another. Tesla's cat's try to claw at each other. It's bad. I would have no hesitation in trying to kill DexM V.2 as I know 100% his thought process would be to take me out first. It would be bad. I voted NO by the way ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
