Scoring
80-100
Clearly you are a big liar…or my knight in shining armor. Call me immediately for a date! Or to propose! I’ll be happy to give you the best (or next) 4 years of my life.
70-80
Three scenarios are possible: we will go out on 1-2 dates and you will fall in love with me and I will find you wretched OR we will go out on 1-2 dates and I will fall in love with you and you will find me tedious OR we will go out on 1-2 dates and decide we’re better off as friends. Things will be awkward for awhile but we’ll appreciate each other in the end. This is the most likely scenario.
50-70
The best opportunity for a “bad date.” We have just enough in common, or you’re hot enough that I’ll agree to go out with you. I will probably even be hopeful about it. Give him a chance! Maybe he’ll surprise you?! It will be painful and embarrassing and a huge waste of precious time. Of course, it will be fun to tell my friends about later. Sayonara suckah.
40-50
It could never and will never work. Of course, that doesn’t mean I won’t go out with you. I’ll give it the old college try and will hate every second of the “experience.” I will vow never to see/call/talk to you again and I will resent you and look forward to mocking you at my earliest convenience. Or, we will move in together.
0-30
Move along. You should be ashamed of yourself. I’m ashamed of you. Your mom is, too.

  2. I would like to carry this list (modified a bit) in my pocket, when a guy talks/looks/asks just hand it to him to use his own judgement.

    genius.

  3. At least these aren't your dealbreakers.

    I have two very good friends with lists much like this. They are 38 and single.

  4. I'd find this really funny...if you didn't seem to think that being from the northeast is a negative quality. I am curious as to why, though.

  5. Almost all of these things are pretty benign - definitely not deal breakers. However, from experience, and I have a LOT of experience, in combination with each other, enough of these characteristics add up to "not compatible with Joce." As for the northeast, I've dated a guy from New York, one from Boston and a Mainer. It didn't work out. That's all.

  6. 87 off of these questions but i think that just shows you need a longer list cause i'm pretty weird.

  7. Conservatively, I scored an 88. I could make a case for as high as 97 (I can't deny that I chew gum a lot, etc.), but it's better to err on the side of safety, right?

    Actually, let's make that 87. I've never used the phrase "I carry God in my pocket," nor do I understand precisely what it means, but I'm planning to deploy it all the time from now on. Come on! It's hilarious!

    Also: great blog.

  8. I'm 31 and I'm dating. Baby Jeebus help us both. My neck hurts from nodding to all of these except I'd take off the northeast one and put on 'I don't trim my fingernails on a frequent and regular basis'.

  9. I scored a 97. You wouldn't happen to be in Tucson?

  10. I am female and not lesbian. I am on the cusp of friend and "bad date" (70). I am going to try to do my boyfriend's score next. He is at work. I am sitting at his house. Watching
    SNL rerun with Timberlake.

  11. Ech. My boyfriend scored an 80 (he is not here, but I know him pretty well.)

  12. 93 here. What's wrong with cologne and gum? They're unofficial requirements for any dance class.

THE BEST OF THE WORST.
