I have answered "stress is what keeps life interesting."

I agree, it's a bit of a no-win question. And for that matter, why are there so many "unhappy" questions? How much stress, how have your relationships ended, losing your temper, marriage fears, scenarios that make you nervous, quirks in a partner, are you jealous.

The only happy question I can think of is how often do you laugh. And it's not a very good happy question either.

Hmmm.

I do ask the stress question. I don't like spending time with stressed out people. If you're all stressed out and edgy then you are not going to be a whole lot of fun, baby, and I'm going to be wanting fun.

I've never been asked nor have asked it. I would think that A&D would be bad choices though. This is one of those questions I might answer with a silly response of my own..

'I live stress free ,but trying to answer this question has given me stress!'
Actually I do like chicken

I am thinking that your answer may not go over real big as it would indicate that even little things stress you out. Just sayn'.

So if as many of those responding view this as a question related to whether they have a stressful job were to answer C or D, because they are say a surgeon, then you reject them because you would consider that they would not be fun.

Yet I have no stress from job or my personal life so I answer A so you would consider that I am fun. Hmm, in another current thread I am berated by numerous people on here as being humorless.

Me thinks there may be a flaw in your system

Yup, just closed a doctor this free weekend. I was married into the high stress, bring your work home with you, always on call, twelve hour work days life once. Never going back. No fun to be had there. Stress at work usually means the stress comes home - few people excel at separating the two. Not interested in someone who defines his life by his job. Other people can have those guys. I live differently.
