DATE ME

I was watching The Talk(please. Don't ask why) a while ago when a light bulb above my big head glowed and meant I had this brilliant idea to write about on my blog.

Okay, okay. Maybe I didn't think of it. I was watching The Talk and they were talking about a study that most people would date people who are like themselves sparking the question: WOULD YOU DATE YOUR SELF??? I, of course, thought I should write about this and ask you dear reader that question:

WOULD YOU DATE YOURSELF?

To be wholly honest, I am 50/50 here. Sure, I think I'm a great looking person with a cool attitude(echos. hahahahaha)but I don't even think I would get along with me. Ironically, I get along with people who are the polar opposite of me than the ones who are just like me. I remember being friends with this girl a few years ago and she and I are alike in most senses(Except looks. No kidding. ha):she was talkative, headstrong and stubborn. You'd expect that the both of us would be really really good friends. Truth be told, she was one of the rare people I've had a huge, ugly and public spat with. God bless her soul and mine, it was pretty damn ugly when we fought. But all's good now because we both got older and our attitudes changed.

One thing about me that I like is that I'm not shallow. Talk to me and I'm deeper than the Mariana Trenches. I like that I'm smart, too and usually, I get long with intellectually smart people. My best friend is Einstein smart and I have other good friends who are on top academically.

I expect people to have different answers to the question I asked earlier. Some would say yes, others would say no and then the remaining percent will be wondering about something else then ask to repeat the question I asked earlier. :))

It's understandable why people would date people like who are like themselves. Sure, it's cool that someone you date is so much like you but isn't it nice to try something unpredictable for yourself? It's a risk, but there's supposed to be a Yin and Yang in a relationship, as Julie Chen(one of The Talk's hosts) puts it and I agree. It's one thing to have some stuff in common with the person you are in a relationship with but it's totally another if he is EXACTLY--IN ALL ASPECTS--LIKE YOU. :)
