Which best characterizes your reaction upon finding out that a mate or potential mate is skilled at a computer programming language?

• Positive.
• Negative.
• Neutral.

You mean, like at least half the people I meet?

(I should totally submit the question "How would you react if you met someone who didn't know any programming languages?")

Suppose you are going to endure an immense amount of pain, but have a way to erase it from your memory. Would you?

• Definitely, I wouldn't want to remember that.
• Possibly, depending on the kind of pain.
• No, I'd want to remember.
• I'm not sure.

Interesting...I was expecting the question to be "would you willingly endure the pain if you knew you could forget it?" rather than "would you choose to forget it if you couldn't avoid enduring it?" I still think the former question is at least slightly more interesting.

Have you ever lead someone on romantically just for fun?

• Yes.
• No.

I would mark this question "very important," except that it fails to distinguish between "yes, but that was when I was young and stupid" and "yes, and I still laugh thinking about it." *sigh*

Does it bother you when someone frequently uses extraneous speech (e.g., uhh, umm, like, you know, etc.) in conversation with you?

• Yes.
• No.

How frequent are we talking? I mean, everybody uses those words some of the time, and presumably everyone's got their own "okay, this is getting annoying" threshold.

A man steals money from a friend and is caught by the police. The thief apologizes to his friend. The friend forgives the thief and asks that any charges be dropped. Should the thief still be punished by the legal system?

• Yes.
• No.

If I said "yes" to this, it seems to me I'd also be saying that consensual BDSM activities should be prosecuted. Surely it's up to us as individuals to decide in any given case whether to seek the protection of the law for ourselves.

The only counterargument I can think of is "the thief should still be punished so he won't thieve again." But 1) I'm pretty sure that's been shown not to work and 2) we don't know what mitigating circumstances there might have been in this particular case, but the friend presumably knows better than we do and is a better judge of whether the thief deserves punishment. Plus, a friend who's willing to forgive the thief might very well also be willing, and better able than most, to personally help prevent the thief from re-thieving.

Would you consider dating someone who confers on relationship decisions with an invisible friend whom they've had since childhood?

• Yes.
• No.

Depends on how sensible their invisible friend is.

Would you consider dating someone who is easily taken advantage of?

• Yes.
• No.

Why yeeeeeeeeesssssss. Yes I would. *heh heh heh*

Has anyone ever pressured you to marry them and failed?

• Yes.
• No.

I really hope the next question is "Has anyone ever pressured you to marry them and succeeded?"

Edit: Nope. Darn.

Would you mind if your significant other fantasizes about other people while having sex with you?

• Yes.
• No.
• Maybe, it depends on who they are thinking about.

I think it depends not so much on who they're thinking about as on how much of the time they're doing it. Being briefly reminded of someone else and getting momentarily distracted is one thing, but thinking of someone else the whole time is another.

Would you consider dating someone who uses profanity more than not in everyday speech?

• Yes.
• No.

"More than not"?

What, like more than 50% of their words are obscenities?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

(seriously, I don't think I've ever even met anyone who uses profanity in more than 50% of their sentences. and if I did, I think we'd be incompatible for more reasons than that.)
