“What kind of person are you?”

I’m sure every guy out there has encountered at least one girl who has tried to trap him with this question.  The pressure is on, and your mind starts fumbling after the best answer possible, but nothing seems to make sense. Nothing seems to click.

So how do you answer such a question when confronted?

Here’s how…YOU DON’T !!!

It’s a trick question intentionally designed to make you sweat, to put you on edge.

The woman is not interested in what words come out of your mouth, she’s testing you to see how you will react.

Do you squirm? Do you get uncomfortable? Do you adjust the way you are seated? Do your eyes shift back and forth frantically scanning your brain for the appropriate response? Does your voice get dry and lose its resonance ? Do you stutter?

OR

Do you remain unaffected by the absurd words she has thrown at you? Do you calmly smile, letting her know that you are fully aware of what she is doing, and use your words confidently, responding with light-hearted sarcasm such as “I’m a cold-hearted opportunist who loves to take advantage of people when they are most vulnerable, I have no respect for woman and I take any opportunity I can to manipulate and exploit them”

The higher road is obviously the latter.

or if sarcasm is not your forte, than you can respond with something a little more philosophical like ” I’d like to think that human beings are more than just one-dimensional creatures that can be summed up in a little string of adjectives”. And if you want to mix in a little sarcasm with your philosophy you can always add something like “And I find that only people who pose such shallow questions are usually quite shallow and one-dimensional beings themselves”

Now there’s some golden lines for you to respond next time you find yourself on the other end of such nonsense.

Don’t be caught off guard by these ludicrous questions! Stay calm and respond with wit!

Until next time…chew it down!
