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.
It sounds like an interview question and not really an icebreaker, imo
Hmmm, fair… it could come across as such. Hence not actually asking it. Your comment would make me lean toward not asking at all.
Appreciate the perspective.
…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.
Oh I’m just… a … regular type dude >!.. with a big-ass dick!<

That escalated quickly 🤣

So you’ve got another body part instead of a penis or a penis that is shaped in such a way that it only fits into one hole only and only with people who have giant butts?
Must be horrible
Long and hairy, hard to carry. Grumpy but tolerable in small doses. Absurd at any dose.
Hahaha, thank you for the light hearted reply. Although long hairy… seems a little scary 😱 🤨
That’s what she said ;)
Daydreamer that dreamt themself out of a functional life. Not just a late bloomer but still a sprout. A hopeful idealistic child in the body of a jaded misanthropic adult. I dance to a tune playing in my earphones where only I can hear it most of the time, unless someone is close enough.
Your third sentence sounds like something I would say. Thank you so much for sharing.
I hope others get a chance to hear your tune and maybe help you not be such a misanthrope. But, continue being a daydreamer
I’m a jack of all trades master of none and Maker. I’m not afraid of being alone both physically and metaphorically. I care about other people far more than most realize, but on my terms like how I often see potential beyond what others see in themselves. My humor, curiosity, abstractions, and occasional cynicism are often misunderstood but have nuance in most cases.
Your response is great and appreciated. I think when this question originally came to me, I was thinking of this type of answer.
I think others have provided a good point for the question itself and I probably won’t ask it. You taking the time to respond was helpful!!
i’m surprised nobody said “i use arch btw” yet
Foolish fool, I can expand a single sentence into several pages!!!
Fair… another reason I was asking the collective. Was curious how many may say it was unpossible to do in a few sentences.
(It’s the Simpsons, don’t harass me for spelling 😁)
Why? That’s what the account bio is for
Not sure I follow. Would you be willing to expand on this?
I also apologize. I met someone IRL and this question came to mind. I have not asked for / seen any social media profiles.
However you are correct, they could have something posted that “sums them up”. I’m just not aware. We just recently met.
Appreciate the response!!
no
That would be a completely acceptable answer! An answer this person might have given as well. Which would make things awkward after that. You perspective is noted.
Thanks!!
You’re welcome.
I’d just copy/paste the lyrics from “what’s my age again?” By Blink 182.
Pretty much sums it up.
Hahah, that’s too much 🤣 I doubt you’re that bad!! Fun song though!! Thank you!
Nice try FBI
Not today NSA
Nice rhyming game that’s starting up here!!
Sometimes an anxious midnight voidling, others a carefree water nymph, mostly a Left 4 Dead 2 modder (Rochelle best character).
Curious to read what your paragraph is as well.
Thank you for posting!! I like your response. It actually felt like a haiku 🙂 Yet it was very clear (to me) what your vibe is.
Not familiar with left 4dead2, but will check it out.
I may edit my original post… although I don’t think I can come up with a good description.
I am curious and like to think I’m humorous. I have a lot of issues, but I do my best to only allow my issues to effect those that have asked for it(in a literal sense, like my friends asking me how im doing when im dealing with issues). As a result of my curiosity I have attained a very wide set of experiances, knowledge, and skills. My remaining goals are family oriented, in the sense that I’d like to begin the process of settling down and working on team based goals.
Edit: i guess this info may be cheating, but it worth noting that the order of my sentencing is as important as the content itself.
Nah, you’re good. Your answer is your answer. I do like the clarifying point about the order of the sentences.
I agree (or maybe it’s something I do) that a response to a question like this has defined beginning, middle, end.
Who I was, who I am, who I want to be.
I think you’re going to make one heck of a team with someone!!
Thank you so much for responding!! 🙂
