This girl seems really cool and I dont wanna screw this up but I really dunno how to answer this.

I think its partly my INTJ personality that says this question doesn't make any sense. Is it even a serious question or is she looking for a laugh.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to handle this one? I wanted to ask because I thought maybe I'm thinking about this one completely wrong here and missing the point.

You know, I saw this question and thought 'Huh, not gonna ask a guy this question, seems too cliche.' But, upon further thought, it might not be a bad question.

First, it (hopefully) gives the other person an understanding of your point of view and what your life is like. Do you go out a lot or prefer to stay in? Do you spend a lot of time traveling? Do you seek adventure or prefer to stay close to home? Who do you spend most of your time with - family, friends, coworkers, total strangers? It really gives a snapshot of your life in a nutshell.

Second, it provides an opportunity to get to know your personality. What type of sense of humor do you have? Are you dramatic? How are your writing skills? Will you create something original or piece together scenes from other movies (one is not necessarily better than the other, but provides insight on how your brain works)?

So, to answer your question, I think that it's both a serious question and an opportunity to make her laugh. I would say be truthful, but have fun with it too. Who knows, it could be the start of a new artistic career

It's a lame question that doesn't deserve a serious answer.

I hate this question as well, but did come up with an answer that works for me. I say my movie is a work in progress and then I pick some random actress who I like. If I don't look like her, I state that, don't want anyone thinking I'm a JLo look-a-like.

Humm, ok....

Well, everytime I see this question and try to respond I think of George Clooney in Oceans 11.

I think my humor and demeanor favor him in that movie. My sarcasm has a lot of depth. I love a good joke and can deliver a line with a straight face.

I think my personality is sort of like his character in that I love adventure and to be mentally challenged. However my kind of adventure would be traveling to new places and investigating things rather than say hang gliding. I love how nothing rattles him. He calm cool collected and yet hilarious and caring.

One negative side is that he kind of feels like hes smarter than everybody else. Fortunately or unfortunately, I kind of feel that way sometimes lol. Also a negative is that he thinks hes above the law and willing to rob and steal.

So, I'd love to encorporate that character to explain my personality but it might come across badly.

Dang thats a toughy! Maybe I'm approaching the question wrong.........

If this is the answer - I think you should re-word "mentally challenged". I know what your saying, but it comes off the wrong way.

You could come up with some kind of title that includes the travel and adventure - then say starring George Clooney and why you like him.

So - for example:

Off The Beaten Path (or Beyond the Tourist Trap) - it's about a guy who likes to travel and investigate places that aren't in the tour books. Starring George Clooney because he's calm, cool and collected as well as funny and caring.

or not.

I ask this question all the time. I do not expect a serious answer nor am I looking for one. However I am looking for someone to display a little creativity and humor (especially when stated in profile)

It's not that hard of a question to answer. There is no right or wrong answer.


If they were making a movie about your life, what would it be called and which actor would play you?

Title: The adventures of Finn and Trek.
A blockbuster action adventure about a man and his talking fish..if Finn could really talk, he would tell you I’m a keeper!. (Of course his memory is only six seconds long, but still, he’ll vouch for me.)

Starring: Charlie Sheen as Trek and James Earl Jones as the voice of Finn.

Finn sounds like Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) from Finding Nemo.
