So you're assuming all the ladies that have commented haven't been asked this question before. That's laughable grin

So when you ask that question, what specifically do you want to hear? And why cant you just go straight to the point. Funny enough ..i gave my number to a guy yesterday. Very attractive physically, and we started talking. The minute he asked me that question, he just instantly became unattractive to me. I don't know why and Im yet to respond to the message. You guys should do better.

Hmmm...I think it's an expectation gap...which I think is what Laveda intend to address with this thread. Guys need to know what ladies want in a convo and Ladies need to know what is expected of them either. The point is WE ARE ALL MENTALLY LAZY...Seriously, that question shouldn't put you off. BY the time you tell me about yourself...naturally convo will arise from what we've both said about each other. We need to know how much we are alike and how farther we are in terms of likes, growing up and fantasies..It has to come up one way or the other.

Lol, you went for the ones that doesnt make it a 'we' thing before getting closer. hmm! Well i've met girls that asked me the same interview format. I dunno, its kinda forward! So i rephrase and restructure. Only a totally boring person wont step in and control the situo.

i see. All im saying is that they're other ways to go about it. Be more specific. We naturally gravitate as humans to interesting and exciting things. The question is just boring. Im just saying.

it has nothing to do with the person,but a reasonable human should have introduced himself first, then it's left for the lady to do hers.

some ladies though.. they need learn the 'art of conversation'. i've a case where the guy was great, but boring while chatting. she overlook it, but made it lively. down the line, time passing, she jokingly brought it up. He took her serious and improved. two gains!

Exactly...Ladies make it seem it is the Guys responsibility to make a convo flow. If he isn't doing that to your expectation why don't you do it. I have an online friend I met here on Nairaland, we chat on WhatsApp...and i noticed she sometimes bring up stuff just to strike a long convo and from there we go in to banters and stuff...The point is bpht parties have a role to play.

There's nothing offensive about the question. Answer the question or you politely ask him to tell you about himself and you do same.

I however prefer if its a two sided thing. As a lady, dont wait for a convo to become an interview, call and response thing. It means you cant HOLD a convo. Reminds me of my friend's chat with one baby. i objectively noticed his efforts to keep the chat afloat, but she was just all MONOSYLLABIC on him. funny!

Well said bro. Some ladies are stereotyped into thinking guys have a sole responsibility to strike a convo. and the worst part is some of their responses are monotonous. Very boring set of people, i never waste my time with them.

Well I get your point, but in a case where a guy just messaged me or any girl on social media, you think the girl should be in a haste take over the convo? All we are saying is guys need to come up with something new.
Re: Ladies How Do You Feel About The Question, "Tell Me About Yourself" by Deefuray(f): 5:08pm On Oct 12, 2017
Him: Tell me about yourself


me: grin The question is broad, streamline into specifics....

Some guys end up breaking it down, asking about school, work, age, likes, dislikes and all the information they seem interested in, some still repeat the "tell me about yourself" question even after giving them that reply.... sometimes I ask "what do you want to know about me" it's easier when you ask directly but 'em guys don't know that...


The question sounds like I should start writing a composition about myself, it's boring to me... if I was a guy I'd know better on how to get to know the girl I like properly without using that question...

The problem might not be the question he asked you, you my friend might be the problem. U could have asked what he wants to know or ask him to talk about himself first. Its the most reasonable thing to do

LOL. That's why its an 'art'!! If its learnt, she would know JUST WHEN to either take over, sit back, go head to head. Cant anything NEW come out of ladies during a convo? No be only guys dey produce new thing now?! lol. Maybe that's why 'kkk' plenty even when letter 'o' is jst below 'k' to make an 'ok'!!
