About Me: Dating Resume

A few of my friends were joking that everyone should have a dating resume. That way people can quickly identify potential mates based on accomplishments and interests. Obviously this is a faulty system because really you know if you're into someone when you interact with them, not based on a random set of qualifications. But still, in the interest of Singles' Awareness Day, here's a quick pre-beta draft of a theoretical satirical dating resume for me.

Enjoys picking up new skills. Hates picking up girls. Unless it's picking them up in a car. Unless it's my poor broken down car.

  1. I laughed at a bunch of the entries and how it was written (in a good way). "No pre-existing conditions"? Good to know I suppose. I'd probably agree to go on a date with you after reading this.
