PrimadonnaO:
It's all too cliché. I'd rather a guy asked more specific relevant questions, then subsequently, he'd naturally find out the rest.

But just coming out to say "tell me about yourself" is quite upsetting. Usually for me, that's the point I stop chatting. What does he want, an essay? What's the point, anyway? There's a higher tendency he'll forget all that has been said.

cool ..tell me about yourself

Laveda:

But does that answer she gave cover everything you wanted to hear? Please don't make it a black and white girl thing.

as it is, yes

if you don't love yourself how would you expect others to love you?

a complex question just need a simple answer.

Re: Ladies How Do You Feel About The Question, "Tell Me About Yourself" by Nobody: 6:18pm On Oct 12, 2017

personally I think the question is too ambiguous(don't know what ambiguous is sha) angry

but seriously you have to be really good at conversation to be able to turn this question into something fun, if not well, its a dead end.

a girl told me this one time, I just asked her what she wanted to know,
she was like uuhm what do u do. I took up from there. but hey I learnt the art flirting form my mom so am kind really advanced.

so annoying. just be specific. i do reply you with " like what exactly do u want to know "

It's easy, treat it like a massage

Well, like you know, i'm super... I love to " the moment you mention movies or anything ", the conversation ends. Its basically not a question that wants the real answers No. It wants to pick an area of interest that resonates the speaker, so a conversation can branch out, simple. And the more that;s revealed, the more the conversation can be stretched. and just this question alone if both parties are good with communication can stretch into weeks before it is exhausted, because new areas of interests opens up for discussion.

This question is so unnecessary & No offense but this type of question I only encountered with Nigerian men..

Why not introduce urself first instead? That is how the proper conversation starts..

most at times I introduce myself and the girl be like OK. It's so annoying

Sadly a huge chunk of our ladies dnt know alot about what matters....so the question will definitely sound stupid..start the conversation with the trends on make up, human hair or some mundane stuffs.they will love you for it.

It never fails me, from movies enter music, both parties talk for as long as ever, from there, its basically begs to say i wanna speak with you, i dont know your interests,open up so we can both figure out similar interests we can talk out...I feel this is the implied meaning ma'am

I hate this type of question to be honest..A lot men don't realize this type of question sounds stupid..

So, if he ask me this question, I will simply reply him IM NOT INTERESTED FOR THE JOB INTERVIEW right now... I got a job already.

Men shud find other ways to have a better conversation especially when its ur first time to talk to that person..There are so many interesting topics where u can exchange ideas rather than asking this BS type of question..

Dating nija girls is just like knocking at epidemic. sis giving guy like me that reply is simply just making life hard for yourself.
just am so so so and I love to do this n that makes it a probs for you? undecided

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

Girls ask guys this question a lot. Going through the response of these girls shouting it's a "turn off" question left me wondering. What if after asking the guy a similar question and he answers. Then after talking brilliantly for a while about himself (with her listening and smiling because she's probably impressed), he then relaxes and says "So, tell me about yourself". Would she be offended? I mean people ask this particular question after some sort of rapport or brief convo must have been established.

kimbraa:
Now I know why they keep saying Nigerian girls are dumb. No offence intended, but that question shouldn't irk a sane human being.

It's a simply question that requires an answer. You'd pick offence if you don't even know yourself.

Jezz!, I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread .

Not just you milady. Dumb people everywhere on this thread.

Every sensible person should know how to tailor a response to this question depending on who is asking and the situation it's been asked for crying out loud.

My reply to this question is usually
"Name, age, tribe ,educational qualification, relationship status, local government ,height and skin colour ,but if you have anything you will like to know, ask"

Exactly. One should always have something to say depending on who's asking and the situation it's being asked. I bet by the time you state your skin colour and the person is standing next to you, it'll elicit a laugh or smile because that aspect was already obvious to him.

And if he had asked the "Tell me about yourself" question initially due to nervousness (i.e for someone who likes you), your response automatically puts him at ease.

This kind of question is asked when you probably don't even know the sense of humor level of the guy, so it's better to work with some parameters so you don't send a wrong signal either.

My problem with Nigerian ladies In chat Is that....they re one sided they always expect the guys to the talking....wen we do they reply us with K....then they say we talk too much...when we dont chat them at all they say the OG is proud... if the chat can be contributed immersively from both the boy and the girl, I swear the chat would go a long way....other girls mostly white girl re aggresive but still knows how to chat than our Nigerian girls.....I have given up on Nigerian girls...infact. everything bout Nigeria I have washed my hands off...I stay on my. own mostly....

The question will lead the path to discovery, you only need to trust the path...in the moment of discussion, both parties will let guards down to some extent, and then the real self is revealed and conversation flows, heart to heart...I've used it at least 100 times, with asian chicks, american chicks, it never fails..its universal....

You're even getting it all wrong, you didn't ask me the rate of love for myself you asked to know about me, things about me.

You're even confused as to the perfect answer to the question.

Guys, you gotta understand asking girls that question is kinda annoying.... It's not that we can't think up an answer but it's really difficult to answer that.... instead we prefer if you are specific in your questions... E.g, how old are you? What do you do? What are your hobbies?.... Those kinda stuffs are easier to answer, you ask us to tell you about ourselves and we literally blank out cos we are like 'where are we gonna start from?'...... Okay dudes, imagine you and a girl start talking for the first time and she says 'can you tell me about yourself?'... Honestly now, would you be able to answer that easily?
