I think folks prefer to talk about themselves naturally rather than answer pre-scripted shallow end questions.
Honesty I might even get bored and bail on the date if it'd been a reasonable amount of time (1+ hour) to know it wasn't going anywhere beyond a me pub quiz. There's an entire world going on in here, stop gleaning useful information and start conversing! I'm not an NPC and this ain't a dialogue tree!
The picture in my head is that you're running through the questions without injecting any real conversation in there so I could be way off. I'm also imagining they left not knowing a thing about you haha
Tbh a "hot or not" question would be the end of the date for me mentally anyway unless things really picked up from there. Reducing an entire person to a boolean is unstimulating and kinda gross lol. I think you need to at least A/B test the questions.
- afavour 4y ago> Tbh a "hot or not" question would be the end of the date for me mentally anyway I think that’s fair because that’s a filter in an of itself. For me personally I’d be happy to chat about whether I find a celebrity hot, it feels like a useful question in establishing things like jealousy levels. But I do think you’re right in that it’s all about “the vibe”, you should know how that question is going to be received before you ask it.
- corobo 4y agoOh absolutely, on a meta level the quiz worked perfectly for me in 4 questions. As the parent comment only used it once though I imagine fail fast isn't the methodology they were going for
