How much does your choice of topics reflect on your personality, likes and tastes?

SEX, SPORT, TV and WOOD…., yeah, that pretty much sums up me.
Have we got some in common, @zensky ? (oh wait, don’t answer ;-) )

I picked my topics within the first week of arriving on Fluther and have never gone back to update. As the topic list only seems to generate random “questions for me” in which I often have ABSOLUTELY NO interest, I can’t imagine that adding more topics would help. I just checked and I have 49 topics checked and NONE of them have anything to do with “what does your dream mean?”, “what should I wear for my wedding, halloween, my grandmother’s funeral?” or “does my junior high crush like me?” and yet the questions continue to be brought to my attention as though I might suddenly feign an interest . . .

I have 40 topics (I think). They can tell a person quite a bit about what I like and who I am.

I asked this question back in February. Some of us had a bit of fun with our topics.

@jonsblond That was great.

@zensky as You have only three topics (newbies, Darth Vader, and I need a hobby), I am not surprised that you do not have a lot in common with MANY users of Fluther (you big goofball)!

LOL.

I don’t choose topics for my profile. I don’t even know how.

Some of my best friends have no topics in common with me. Ain’t no big thang!

@YARNLADY See the topics listed under my question? Hover on one, and you can click on “Add topic” – then it automatically adds to your list. You can always go to your profile and hover, then “remove topic.” You can also do it on the list of topics on the bottom right side of the home page – on PC.

I used to add topics, in the past zen’s profiles, but quickly realized that A. I get random questions based more on my fluthering than on my topics, and B. I check out all the questions almost every day anyway so it’s redundant.

I found out a few days after joining that some of the users had topics that made me literally laugh out loud. I made a grab of the best ones, and added them to my profile based on how creative and fun I found them, even if they are not directly related to my personality.

Of late, there seems to be an effort to keep the topics more applicable to the Q&A function of the site, which I respect, understand, and appreciate. I still intend to make up the wackiest tags I can and grab any that I see that are nifty.

^ But they get deleted as soon as Fluther edits then out, sadly.

^I started asking more questions and I just hope they miss some with all the volume

Er, I denno. It’s stuff I like and am interested in, so…I guess it can say something. How much, I denno…maybe I should add Darth Vader in mine, too.

Actually @zensky, I took your lead one day and went through adding ridiculous topics. Now I look at them I think… that does sort of reflect me and my personality! You should look and let me know what you think.

I do think my fluther personality in terms of topic selection is a work-in-progress though.

@Bellatrix You like authority, daft punk and silliness?

I just looked at my 25 topics for the first time in a long time. They sum me up pretty well, I think! Boring, though. So, yeah. I’m boring.

@augustlan STEPHEN KING ISN’T BORING.

Good topic. :)

Definitely silliness and discussions about daft punk sound like fun. Authority, and how it is exerted and managed, sure discussions on that topic are interesting.

@zensky Sadly or not, if you think I’m a weirdo we have no topics in common.

I have no idea what my topics are. I inherited them from the days when they appeared automatically. I’m not sure what topics do, if anything. Their relationship to the questions I get seems completely arbitrary. If I knew how to add absurd topics, then I might consider doing it, but really it sounds like too much work, and who, besides @zensky, actually looks at other people’s topics? Can’t be more than a dozen people who do.

Why are you checking out profiles of weirdos, @zensky?

<< Is a boring weirdo.

Cuz weirdos rock. Jotenheim! Le seigneur des rafales!

…imma go to bed now, nights.

@augustlan Anyone who owns a whip could never be considered boring. You’re just a weirdo. ;)

Haha! I’ll take that. :p

I just looked at mine for the first time in months & yeah, that’s pretty much my autobiography right there. Not an epic piece of literature in terms of volume, but definitely hits the nail firmly on the head.

@Symbeline Clearly weirdos rock. But can they roll?

@wundayatta

“Clearly weirdos rock. But can they roll?”

Sure- I’ve been rolling ever since my pipe got clogged up. ;-)

@Brian1946 I still need to see your weirdo license.

@wundayatta Lol do they ever!

Man I can’t stop laughing at that video.

@Brian1946, you should get a recipe from @coloma.

I don’t even know what topics I have! I’ll go look.

I guess my topics reflect that I’m silly and that I’m a mom.

“Manic Killing Spree” used to be on my list of topics, but I think it was removed….. I actually miss that one.

@Dutchess_III said I had to hand you her shovel @WillWorkForChocolate. Is that so you can go on another ‘Manic Killing Spree’? I love silliness.

Manic killing spree.

My interest has been piqued.

@Bellatrix Yep. Shovels are my weapon of choice!

Now why didn’t this show up in my list of “Questions for You”?

I have 64 topics, but only a few of them are really important. There is I am not an animal and there’s also ass, which actually is an animal. There’s dirty, he violated my behind, I like rum, TGIF and of course quantum mechanics and the vital one, kinky. Really, just the usual stuff. I can’t imagine a world in which those topics are excluded from discussion.

Well I’m a rum drinking animal who hasn’t had her behind violated but I do like to get dirty some times and let’s be honest, quantum mechanics could be kinky.

Ha! Belle riposte.
