"Date other boring people if you're boring."

Post Reply New Topic

Do you think boring people should just date other boring people? I'm kind of boring, but I can't stand boring people. I kind of want to learn to be less boring. I think the best way to learn that is to spend a lot of time around non-boring people.

Spending time around boring people will probably make me even more boring. I actually think it already is. My family is pretty boring and I spend way too much time around them.

Right now I'm trying to become less boring or at least look less boring to attract non-boring people. On my dating profile I avoid mentioning boring crap like Netflix or pizza. I also try to make my appearance more interesting. I look for interesting clothes and avoid fads.

Do you think I'll succeed in finding someone who's passionate and interesting or am I doomed to being with boring people forever?

lol "Date other X people if you're X" Version 2.0 has been released.

No, you must conform, it's the only way to preserve your sanity!

There is no such thing as a boring person. Just because someone may seem boring doesn't mean they are. Everyone has something interesting and unique about them.

People may perceive me as boring because I don't have much to say in social situations, but I consider myself to be a very interesting person.

And just because you are perceived as boring doesn't necessarily mean you "have" to only date people you think are boring. If you find someone you love and who loves you, then nothing else matters.

Boring is subjective.

So no.

Fair enough, BUT...
Pizza is not boring. Why not call it "Italian food" in your profile? And then mention your favorite type of pizza?

When I think of pizza, I think of only happy moments. Who wouldn't?
I once was at an Italian resaurant at a nearby city. They made the most amazing Parma ham pizza I've ever eaten: super thin, juicy and salty Parma ham. The cheese had the perfect consistency, if it was like spaghetti I'd call it "al dente". And the dough was so aromatic, I ordered a bunch of pizza rolls to go after I'd finished eating. Sad thing the restaurant was closed down a few years ago, it was not because of the food, that's for sure.

I like to talk about that kinda stuff sometimes, but maybe I'm just so boring that I find talking about pizza for a few minutes a worthwhile topic of conversation.

I find it lots better to be interested in pizza than being interested in Tea Party politics.

Thanks kraftie.

Although admittedly there are better things to write into a dating profile.

There are lots of chicks out there who don't mind a good pizza.

Why don't you put down that you're interested in neurology. Autism is a neurological disorder, so you'd be telling the truth!

Yeah I think putting pizza / other food you like on a dating profile isn't such a bad idea. Liking similar foods is very helpful to know! and a conversation point I guess.

Whether or not a person is boring isn't a definite for compatibility. I just say you'll know when you meet the right person that clicks with you.

Well you're statistically most likely to date somebody with a congruently-sized spleen, so if anything as weird as this board's subject stands to bore you, I suggest focusing on people's brains, even if you don't want your own brain under scrutiny...
