Asklemmy

It sounds like an interview question and not really an icebreaker, imo

…without doxxing yourself.

Oh I'm just... a ... regular type dude >!... with a big-ass dick!<

That sounds horribly transactional. Like you're asking people to apply for a job as your friend.

That may just be me, but I wouldn't react well if someone approached conversation like a job interview.

Long and hairy, hard to carry. Grumpy but tolerable in small doses. Absurd at any dose.

i'm surprised nobody said "i use arch btw" yet

no

Daydreamer that dreamt themself out of a functional life. Not just a late bloomer but still a sprout. A hopeful idealistic child in the body of a jaded misanthropic adult. I dance to a tune playing in my earphones where only I can hear it most of the time, unless someone is close enough.

I'm a jack of all trades master of none and Maker. I'm not afraid of being alone both physically and metaphorically. I care about other people far more than most realize, but on my terms like how I often see potential beyond what others see in themselves. My humor, curiosity, abstractions, and occasional cynicism are often misunderstood but have nuance in most cases.

Nice try FBI

Nice try Facebook.

I'd just copy/paste the lyrics from "what's my age again?" By Blink 182.

Pretty much sums it up.

Why? That's what the account bio is for

I'd leave it on read and probably never talk to you again

Foolish fool, I can expand a single sentence into several pages!!!

I am curious and like to think I'm humorous. I have a lot of issues, but I do my best to only allow my issues to effect those that have asked for it(in a literal sense, like my friends asking me how im doing when im dealing with issues). As a result of my curiosity I have attained a very wide set of experiances, knowledge, and skills. My remaining goals are family oriented, in the sense that I'd like to begin the process of settling down and working on team based goals.

Edit: i guess this info may be cheating, but it worth noting that the order of my sentencing is as important as the content itself.

I'm vaguely humanoid shaped and mostly made of meat.

Sometimes an anxious midnight voidling, others a carefree water nymph, mostly a Left 4 Dead 2 modder (Rochelle best character).

Curious to read what your paragraph is as well.

You have the twelve personalities.
Dominant, submissive, pedantic, curious, mean, innocent, humorous, trusting, romantic, nurturer, charming and horny.
Everyone is all of them bar the aro-ace people who lack the latter four.
I am 3 6 12 8 7 4 11 1 2 10 5 in that order.
Results of me in real life may vary due to having mild to moderate mental illnesses.
To make your own list, remind yourself that what you look for in a life partner is likely what you can score yourself high on on the complement side, so 1 likes 2 and vice versa 3&4, 5&6 etc....
Maybe I should put 11 much higher on this list.

I'm late to the party, but I don't think there is anything wrong with asking someone to talk a bit about their self in an attempt to get to know them better. The context is very important however. If you and this person have been talking one on one for a bit already, maybe something like "I have enjoyed talking to you, can I ask you to tell me a bit about yourself so I can get to know you better?" Is an appropriate way to go about it. I'm not sure if the person you are talking about is someone you met in real life or on the internet.

As far as the internet goes, a/s/l was a very popular question to ask 20 years ago in chat rooms but probably wouldn't go as well on modern social media. For that reason I don't think straight up asking "can you describe yourself in a paragraph" would work very well either. Most people dont seem to use social media as a way to get to know the other users on a personal level. It almost feels like it's against the point of 'social' media, but most interactions I've seen between users are brief and users go on their way after a few posts. Especially sites like Lemmy where we don't provide personal information. On the other hand, Lemmy is very small and if you find someone with a shared interest in a niche community, i think its ok to reach out, but maybe try to just keep the conversation on that topic.

If you're talking to someone in real life maybe try the previous suggestion. Or skip it all together and invite them to hang out somewhere. No better way to learn about a person than by spending time with them. And by doing that, there is less of a chance of making them uncomfortable by talking about their self.

I like to devalue myself in front of everyone, that is literally part of my personality. No matter how much people try to compliment me, I'll always call them liars and tell them that I'm actually garbage. Because being proud of not being proud of yourself is something nobody dares to do.

Ever wonder why I call myself Resol van Lemmy? Type that word backwards and you'll know why. In fact, my profile picture is actually related to that very result.

Ok I broke the rule. But still.
