I just vomited in my mouth a little.

AstroChuck's avatar

I don’t see why not. I date myself now. I suppose that explains my need for corrective lenses.

LeotCol's avatar

Hells yeah!!

anon's avatar

@AstroChuck Is that what you call it?

dpworkin's avatar

I wouldn’t even have a cup of coffe with me. Too old, no prospects.

ragingloli's avatar

Probably not. Based on the fact that we would both be unable and unwilling to enter an even remotely committed relationship.

Dry heave.

Christian95's avatar

I think it’s not a very good idea to hang with someone who thinks exactly like you

Sarcasm's avatar

Absolutely.
Male me and Female me would have the same interests, hobbies (magnets), likes (ghouls), dislikes (peoples’ knees), favorite foods (milksteak). We’d be a perfect match.

I’d probably make Female me lose some weight. And I’d probably make Male me get a haircut.

Of course, with Male me and Female me both being shy introverts, it’d take an act of god to get them to talk to eachother.

Not on your life.

@Sarcasm: What did a knee ever do to you?

jbfletcherfan's avatar

I sure would. Boy, am I smarter than I was when I WAS dating! I’ve learned a lot. With the experiences I’ve lived through, I think I’m a well rounded gal. I’m serious when I need to be & fun when I want to be. And my lack of certain innards now allow me to play & not worry about anything. ’-}

mowens's avatar

Nope. I’m an ass. :) I don’t put up with that crap.

gemiwing's avatar

No because all we would do is sit and watch The Weather Channel. Hubbs brings the spice he controls the universe

hungryhungryhortence's avatar

Sure would, I marry me’s too. Like @Sarcasm, I’d have a few things between the two worked on.

Male me would make female me workout together and wear less conservative clothes out in public.

Female me would make male me pay for manicures in exchange for all the housework female me would likely end up bearing the brunt of. Female me would also keep after male me to take more time off work.

gradyjones's avatar

Yes. That’s a good thing, right?

smack's avatar

I wouldn’t even be friends with myself if I was the SAME gender… I am WAY too annoying and weird.

Axemusica's avatar

I’m not even sure if this question could be answered seriously, lol. The opposite sex is a completely different mind frame, plus no one knows what anyone else thinks much less if their thought process would even be the same as the opposite sex. I say….

blehhh? lol

zephyr826's avatar

I’m currently attracted to people who are similar to me, in my thoughts and interests, so we might date, but it wouldn’t be a long-term relationship. We’d constantly be trying to make the other person happier, and no real decisions could ever be made. It’s very much a good thing that I’m not two people.

janbb's avatar

I’d rather date the me I am now, then the me I was – if that makes sense.

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

@Sarcasm How would you like that milksteak? Perhaps boiled over-hard, with a side of the finest jelly beans, raw?

flameboi's avatar

Oh hell no, I’d stay away from me, I’d even get a court order to keep myself away from me!!!!

absalom's avatar

I’m gay so this is pretty easy for me.

Eff no.

sakura's avatar

no way my friend!! I am too high maintenace for even myself to control!!!

Pazza's avatar

Hell ye, I’d positively shag myself!
Give myself some Luuuurrrve!

jackm's avatar

@Sarcasm
Do you also like the Nightman?

mclaugh's avatar

damn right.. i’m one hell of a catch. i just don’t know why i’m single…lol

StupidGirl's avatar

I am the opposite gender and no I wouldn’t want him..

jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities's avatar

Well, I already am uh… intimate with myself, so I guess dating would be just fine.

DrBill's avatar

Sure, we would already know what we like.

le_inferno's avatar

@smack No. I’d date you <3
Oh wait, I AM.

DominicX's avatar

I would date myself if I were the same gender.

Why not? I’ve got a great personality, I’m hot, what’s bad about it? :P

ragingloli's avatar

@DominicX
of course you would

dogkittycat's avatar

I would have to say no, I’m attractive yes and usually very nice and intelligent but I’d want someone different from me and not just physically but personality wise. the saying “opposites attract” is most definatley true with me.

MrBr00ks's avatar

I would I suppose, although the female me would probably want to work out with male me and she would make me eat healthier. I would kill to have a SO that liked what I did and conversations, conversations, conversations.

Xilas's avatar

depends on my mind set.. current mind set… no i would punch me in the face… girl mind set.. i would be…repulsed, charmed and delighted by me.

JLeslie's avatar

What a question. Now I feel like I need to go work out.

Jack79's avatar

Well, for me looks count (they’re not everything, but they do matter) and I wouldn’t date an ugly woman. So if I were a woman maybe I wouldn’t date someone like me, because I don’t think I’m that good-looking (not anymore, anyway).

Then again, women seem to care less about beauty and more about wits and intelligence and stuff like that, and I’m quite a nerd, which combined with my humorous nature and creativity and all that is probably something a woman would like. Most women who know me like me, so I guess I would too.

cornbird's avatar

yes i would

tinyfaery's avatar

Not sure what opposite gender means.

I’m having a hard time answering this. I would date me if I was a woman, but I wouldn’t if I was a man. If I was a man, I wouldn’t want someone so difficult to handle.

JLeslie's avatar

@tinyfaery Love that answer.

eeveegurl's avatar

It would be awesome to have someone that shares the exact same interests, but I’d never learn anything fun and interesting! I had this one ex who was absolutely fascinating and was just full of interesting tidbits of information that I absolutely LOVED learning about. Wouldn’t want to date someone that didn’t know any more than I already do.

deni's avatar

i would :)

kitiara's avatar

.. absolutely not .. im a total pain in the ass lol… :O)

Poser's avatar

That would be one uuuugly woman!

Xilas's avatar

@Raine

There are now 5 recognized genders in this world – and in the us

Herms, Ferms, Merms, Males and Females.

if you don’t know them – look it up.

DrBill's avatar

@Xilas

What have mermaids and the electrical code have to do with the question?

downtide's avatar

I wouldn’t date myself, but we’d start a band together. Me on lead vocals and the other me on guitar.

dabbler's avatar

well no ‘cause we’re married. Besides that, it would be so tempting and so much fun but we might reinforce our indulgent aspects catastrophically.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

I wouldn’t date anyone else but myself!

Nullo's avatar

No. I wouldn’t like my nose. I like my nose on me – it’s a fine Roman schnoz, Caesar had no better – but it does not flatter the feminine face.

@tinyfaery It means the you that has different plumbing.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

Oh yeah, he’s sexy, smart, and suave, and he looks great in a Speedo too. Lol.
