Stupid Survey

Still busy as hell working on the thesis. Expect sporadic posts until Oct 23rd when I hand the damn thing in.

In the meantime, I decided to post something a lot of you have read but I really like. This is a questionnaire sent to me by my brother's ex-girlfriend for some magazine article job she was trying to get (I don't really know or care). I got frustrated two questions in because I thought the questions were inane, in addition to grammatical and spelling mistakes. So I had fun. Hope you do too. My answers are bold.

1) Have you ever considered marrying someone, or been engaged? (How many times?)

Only to the sea, but she broke it off

2) How important is marriage to you (on a scale of 1-10, 10 being very important and 1 being you never want to get married).

8.3145

Explain your rating:

Its the Gas Constant in the Ideal Gas Equation PV=nRT

3) How important is having a relationship with a significant other to you? (on a scale of 1-10)

5

Explain your rating:

It’s the number of times I have had sex this year plus five

4) Do you consider dating a) an elimination process to find a person you would like to have a longterm relationship with b) a fun way to socialize c) as involved with the other gender as you with to get.

d) Wish is misspelled

5) How do you define "marriage" ?

By looking it up in the dictionary and then reading what it says

6) What is the point of marriage?

42

7) Do you consider marriage a positive thing or negative, and why?

Positive because it repels me

8) Are pre-nups a)absolutely necessary or do they b) illustrate a lack of faith and fidelity?

The real question is why a lack of faith is necessarily indicative of a lack of fidelity

9) Are your parents married/divorced?

They are both widowed

10) What do you like better 1) being in a relationship or 2) being single.

1, because you shouldve put "1) being single" for aesthetics

11) Do you see yourself getting married someday? In 5 years /10 years/ 15 years/ or more?

Yes, as soon as legislation is passed allowing man to marry monkey

12) If yes, will you 1) elope 2) be married in a church/temple/mosque 3) be married by a justice of the peace 4) be married somewhere else, outside of a religious institution but by a man of the cloth.

4) At Universal Studios when Jaws pops out of the water

13) Ideally, do you think marriage should be a pre-requisite to having children? Why?

No, it should be a post-requisite

14) What do you think is the main reason people get married? a) to have children/start families b) desperation c)it makes financial sense d) start a new live with shared dreams and goals e) societal norm/obligation?

None of those seem mutually exclusive

15) What is a "deal-breaker" for you in terms of relationships: a) religion b) class c) racial/cultural differences d) education e) location f) political leanings g) Other

c) if fat is a race

16) Order by significance from 1-10 (one being most important, 10 being least) what qualities are most important to you in a potential partner

1 Honesty

1 Respect

1 Shared interests

1 Shared political views

10 Shared religious beliefs

1 Education

1 Sense of humor

10 Open mindedness

1 Value-oriented (high moral standards)

1 The unexplainable "gut-feeling" or "CLICK" factor/chemistry

17) What do you bring to your relationships with people in terms of traits/characteristics:

Lack of a conscience

18) When is the last time you were in a relationship you considered "serious."

The restraining order was filed last July

19) Is the seriousness of a relationship determined by a) the amount of time invested or b) the intensity of emotion invested

a) because b precludes sex with robots

20) Do you think there is a correalation between the "problems" in society and broken homes? (violence, drugs, low test scores) Yes, no or maybe

Yes, faulty foundations are the source of all social problems

21) Age: 25

I think you should post a little taste of your thesis so we can judge you and inform you that you may or may not be a complete idiot.
