The questionnaire

So I'm not sending this out about anyone, mainly as a rumination of my dating life in SF. Because it's sucked, and partially it's my fault, partially it's because of the calibre of women I've met. Which ultimately gets back to me.

This is a joking questionnaire that came up awhile back, talking about my terrible luck with women. About how I seem to meet the crazies. Now, I'm not going to say they're all crazy, but essentially that's the pattern I've been in and probably promote. 

Without further ado, here's the questionnaire, to see if you're suitable for dating. The Geoffery Metz. This might be long.

1) Have we ever gotten along on a superficial level when first meeting? (+1 pt)
1a) Was it in a bar? (+5 pts.)
1b) Did we meet online? (-1 pt.)

2) Has your need for travel ever superseded plans for musical or dramatic performance? (+3 pts.)
2a) Was the performer your friend? (+5 pts)

3) Are you a fan of David Sedaris? (+5 pts.)

4) Have you ever seen Brick? (+1 pt.)
4a) Without me forcing you? (+5 pts.)
4b) Stood me up when I suggested we see it in the theater? (+10 pts.)

5) Are you a fan of David Lynch? (-1 pt.)

6) Have you ever engaged regular in one of the following drugs (+1 pt. each answer):
a) Cocaine
b) Anti-depressant
c) Tobacco
d) Crystal Meth
e) Beer Breakfast
[Note: add two points if you engaged in any of (a)-(d) on a regular basis. For (e), only add a point if this was before work.]

7) Which one of these regions strikes you as the best region for wine:
a) Napa (+5 pts.)
b) Sonoma (+2 pts.)
c) Spain (+2 pts.)
d) France (+3 pts., but really, who drinks French wine?)
e) Italy (+1 pt.)
f) Australia (+3 pts.)

8) Are you a Capricorn or Aries? (5 pts. for either)

9) Are we separated by more than a subway trip (i.e., a trip on a plane, train, automobile)
a) Yes (-10 pts)
b) No (+2 pts.)

10) Have I ever called you when you're drunk?
a) Yes (+5 pts.)
b) No (-2 pts.)

Bonus question: Have you ever been a cheerleader? (+2 pts.)

Add up the score. The closer to 52 means I've probably dated you and it was a short affair with a lot of chemistry at the top. The farther away, we'd probably be awesome together but will never meet.

  1. Of course I ran through your older entries. I took your quiz because I found it interesting and different. The worst I've ever done on a test, I got a score of 4. I wonder how you came up with this test and under what conditions.

  2. Honestly, this test is exactly as it sounds -- a rumination on the dating predicaments I found myself in while in SF. I'm taking it you would have scored higher had I mentioned we watched the uncut version of Dune.

    The full context: packing up to leave SF (or just getting to the decision to do so), having most likely had a very unsatisfactory break-up with my last paramour there. Half the time I figure this blog is me doing my Tony Leung impression from the end of "In The Mood For Love." This would definitely qualify.
