Search Results: table manners

So basically I want to see what guys/girls look for in their dating prospects, spouses, etc... I've seen all sorts of "oh, I want a nice guy who's sweet and funny" or "I want a girl who's cute and well-mannered" only to be surprised by the choices they make at the end. Vote for one of the choices below please. :)

Given, the choices are really generalized, but you can add your own touch as to what you prefer within an answer below.

Let's say there are 5 girls or guys at a table and they all have expressed a clear interest in you. You don't know any of them, but you do have first impressions. Which one would you "go out" with?

A: Mr./Miss Hot & Sexy. This person literally looks like a model. Just looking at him/her, takes your breath away. He/she is very nice to you and clearly knows how to talk to a person of the opposite gender (maybe a player/playeress?). He/she is clearly giving off signals that they like you. You just have to come and get it.

B: Mr./Miss Wealthy. Getting into a relationship with this person would mean covering your expenses for however long you are together. Marrying him/her would guarantee a life of comfort. Also, he/she is pretty good-looking. Definitely someone you would be proud to call your partner. Very well-mannered when he/she talks to you, but he/she does attract a lot of attention from the other sex. You'll need to keep a close eye to make sure some other girl/guy doesn't snatch your partner away.

C: Mr./Miss Talented. He/she is pretty much good at everything they touch. He/she can sing, dance, play instruments, speak in public, play sports, etc... People envy his/her abilities and you being with him/her would make you the envy of your peers. Oh, he/she can also be a little cocky, but usually in a joking manner (or is he/she not joking?). He/she is probably the most interesting person you've ever met. You're inevitably attracted to him/her but so is everyone else...

D: Mr./Miss Popular. He/she knows people like the back of their palm. He/she knows what to say, knows what to do. Everybody loves him/her and to top it all off, he/she is not cocky. In fact, he/she is very humble and modest. Popular AND Humble? hmmm.. Did I mention he/she is still very popular with his/her many exes?

E: Mr. Nice Guy/Girl. He/she is not as hot, wealthy, talented, or popular as the other options, BUT there is one thing they can guarantee. For one thing, you'll know that he/she will never cheat on you and will respect you on an equal level. He/she is the sweetest girl/guy, but yet, they aren't nice, nice. They aren't wimpy pushovers, and you find him/her kinda attractive. However, being with him/her won't exactly get a lot of oo's and ahh's from your peers. In fact, they might make fun of you.

Be honest with your answers ;). I know most of us are more shallow than we care to admit. I for one would probably pick C just because I like talented girls, even if they aren't really really good-looking. Miss Popular/Nice Girl are tied for 2nd.

"Every national church or religion has established itself by pretending some special mission from God, communicated to certain individuals. The Jews have their Moses; the Christians their Jesus Christ, their apostles and saints; and the Turks their Mahomet, as if the way to God was not open to every man alike"

"It is a contradiction in terms and ideas, to call anything a revelation that comes to us second-hand, either verbally or in writing. Revelation is necessarily limited to the first communication--after this, it is only an account of something which that person says was a revelation made to him; and though he may find himself obliged to believe it, it can not be incumbent on me to believe it in the same manner; for it was not a revelation made to me, and I have only his word for it that it was made to him."

"When Moses told the children of Israel that he received the two tables of commandments from the hands of God, they were not obliged to believe him, because they had no authority for it than his telling them so; and I have no authority for it than some historian telling me so. The commandments carry no internal evidence of divinity with them; they contain some good moral precepts, such as any man qualified to be a lawgiver, or a legislator, could produce himself, without having recourse to super natural intervention."

"When I am told that the Koran was written in Heaven and brought to Mahomet by an angel, the account comes too near the same kind of hearsay evidence and secondhand authority as the former. I did not see the angel myself, and, therefore, I have a right not to believe it."

"When also I am told that a woman called the Virgin Mary, said, or gave out, that she was with child without cohabitation with a man, and that her betrothed husband, Joseph, said that an angel told him so, I have a right to believe them or not; such a circumstance required much stronger evidence than their bare word for it; but we have not even this; for neither Joseph nor Mary wrote any such matter themselves; it is only reported by others that they said so--it is hearsay upon hearsay, and I do not choose to rest my belief upon such evidence."

Doesn't this just make sense to everyone? How can revealed religions survive based upon this information? Do you agree or disagree?
