Post-date surveys? It’s a thing, apparently
I could not stop myself from giggling at this hilarious idea of a guy handing a woman a survey at the conclusion of their date. A survey in which she was asked specific questions that would offer insight, feedback, and critique.
Brilliant idea or some form of social masochism? YOU decide!
The young man, Mike Stolar, admits that he has some difficulty on the dating scene. He believed the survey could better his chances of improving his, um technique to woo women. Or something!
I can not imagine how I would react if a man handed me a paper and asked me to fill out a survey on him and our date experience. Perhaps I would be into it and give total honesty and hope that the next woman would benefit from my opinions. Who knows? My ego is way to big to make my own survey.
I am curious to know your thoughts, though? Would you complete a post date survey? What about a post first time in bed survey?
If you were bold enough, what would you put on a post-date survey that someone would fill out on you and your dating etiquette, behavior, etc.?

Post date survey is not so bad.
Post first time in bed survey is always a confidence killer more so if your package ain’t so Stella. And if you are a chic but kinda frigid in bed,you like to put ur legs up in the sir and dig them in the guy’s azz but ur feet are cracked,ur nana don’t heat up quick or ur belly button test prompted a hermie,death/sickness in the family and a mad dash to dress up and head for the door…then you won’t fancy the survey idea…
Funny,it’s just me and Lily in here…not much choice ha?
Since it’s a first time,gotta ask Lily..

I’ll leave the surveys to the young at heart, my take it’s like making a list something I don’t do. If it aint verbal or mental I wont bother with it. If folks want to engage that way I can’t stop or judge them.

good morning. I actually kind of like the idea of the post-date survey. perhaps those that would be put off by an actual, physical paper survey wouldn’t mind just answering a few follow up questions. I do admit that it sounds kind of odd but I’d be more than willing to give feedback. I also wouldn’t mind being on the receiving end of the criticism. I’ve always said a lot of folks are walking around doing the same foolishness and tell themselves it’s all good because “I’ve had no complaints”.

Never heard of post date survey. I would probably answer though if asked. Don’t ask though if you don’t really want the feedback…of course that’s slightly off topic…lol I will piggyback disco and say yeah, there are a ton of folks (I’m speaking men because I only date men) that REAAAAALLY believe it’s all good and their thought process around dating and courting is jacked up.

As long as it ain’t “what did I do wrong?” as opposed to ‘what could I do better’, it would work.

A survey is just a personal opinion, what didn’t work for this date may work for the next. Any first encounters are going to be a little awkward because you are going off what you like, and what you think they might like. As time goes on and you get to know each other dates should get better, if they don’t, are you really in tune with each other?

Self reflection is key~ Taking criticism and advice that hold value in your life is what continues to define me. Extremely close friends, VERY close family members, and even my ex husband have all played apart with my over all self improvement. Most any one’s else opinion is null but I can rock and roll with their surface assessments~

single/happy – most folks give a little leeway for first date jitters. even with that though, some folks can truly mess up a first date. we’ve all heard the disaster stories. and I don’t just mean the no chemistry bad date. I mean the “check please” bad date where you roll up out the spot. my point is, there may not always be a “do-over” so folks need to go in strong.

Is the survey on the person and their overall dating skills with everybody in their dating pool or how impressed I am and feedback on whether or not I want to do it again. I agree what works for one may not work for others. So am I scoring you on how good a job at being a dater….or dating me?? That’s gonna make a difference…for me Heck not picking up the tab nowadays works for plenty of women so if you don’t you’ll get an “A” according to what works for them but by my standards you get an “F” if that’s something you’re not accustom to doing.
Please, don’t take that to mean that I can’t ever pay….that’s just an example.

BF – while I have never called one of those “how is my driving numbers” I am good for advising managers or calling customer service. typically it’s got to be for something really good or really bad. I even take the time (sometimes) to fill out those little survey cards when I attend certain events. for instance, I attended a play recently at a venue I’d never attended. they had an “overpriced” concession stand but you weren’t allowed to eat in the theatre. I was like really – you want me to pay $5+ for a snack/beverage (or whatever) and then scarf it down while standing up in the hallway at intermission. not going to happen. I put that on my comment card and when I got home I went on the website and left another comment. As far as I’m concerned they should just have a strict no food/beverage policy across the board.

surveys are indeed a good thing, like I mentioned a few days ago I wrote notes in the second grade asking little girls if they like me check the yes or no box. If I was at home staring at my ceiling and walls I wouldn’t give half a thought to write down in a survey and ask a grown woman if she liked me on our date. It may come up in conversation but I wouldn’t hand her a piece of paper and a give her a time frame to complete it in.

I can see the pros and cons of a dating survery. It would be awkward if I received a survey but I’d give some tactful feedback. Guess some need the feedback to make adjustments, and improve their chances with you or the next person. I can understand, think we all need that constructive critism from time to time to help keep things in perspective and keep a fresh outlook.

I agree that we all stand to hear and utilize constructive criticism but in that area you have to be careful. Unless a person is ABLE to view from an unbiased unskewed outlook, then is the opinion of others really beneficial? There are some folks that feel other folks are doing everything wrong but those same folks live under the scope of what others thinks. IMO, that’s about as unhealthy as being unable to digest something constructive.

I don’t know about you, but I has communicated to me time after time where I fell short and how I can rectify a situation. Did they need to give me a survey, no I made the adjustments by listening and checking myself (looking in the mirror) to make sure I don’t cross that bridge again. As I said surveys are good, I don’t know this either but maybe they’re good for computer dating I have no idea.

asking someone – honestly, earnestly – about things you can do to improve yourself and your interactions with others…
Dan – Sure, if a friend or family member asked, of course that would be fine. If it’s someone I went out on a date with, I’m sorry, that’s just sad. I would have more pride and expect him to. If we’re already in a relationship and he asks if there is anything he can improve on fine. If we went out a few times and it didn’t work out – hey, I just wouldn’t. Just because we were not a match doesn’t mean he won’t be with someone else. He should ask his friends or family members or a professional if he needs to go there. That’s why I never took stock in anything a past boyfriend might critique me on. You didn’t want me, but someone else liked me just the way I am. You can call that arrogant or prideful or whatever. I’m just not receptive to that and make no apologies for it. You can take the high road there.

IMO, most time folks handing out criticism are judgemental themselves and looking from the window of their perception, their reality. Whose to say what you see is really what should be fixed or changed? I’m not trying to be the contrarian here because we (as people) live, learn, grow and thrive through one another. For me…and me only…the Good Book is my source of direction. Not saying another can’t tell me but people are people are people and we’re all subject to getting things wrong. And as someone say the other day, the Holy Spirit will definitely tap you on the shoulder when you’re out of line, out of the right line of thinking, mistreating others…all of it.

Thanks Lady. I agree with Kimmie, just because a pair is not a right match doesn’t really mean either person did anything wrong. Sure there are always areas of improvements on both parties but the end of a date just ain’t the place to talk about that.
When I’m most receptive to an outsider’s outlook in when I’m IN a relationship. I have not dated chumps or wimps and yes, I’ve gotten a needed tongue thrashing from a SO. I’m talking taking a hardline with me. Did it feel good at the time? Nope. Did I take heed? Yes. Surprised? Was it beneficial and did it help things improve? Absolutely.

I told a guy once that he blew it with me with the simple act of not leaving a voicemail message. I’m all for a friend or family member expecting a response to a missed call but a new guy that just met me and is supposed to be trying to connect. he needs to leave a message saying “hi. this is so and so. I met you at such and such and so on.” I’d met this little guy and for about a week I was getting calls that I didn’t recognize and so ignored. finally ran into him again (he worked at bank in my neighborhood) and he admitted that he’d been calling me. I gave him my “lecture” and he did ultimately call and leave a message but by then I’d already checked out. don’t know if he carried that with him or thought I was tripping but I still put it out there. (of course my friends said I was too hard on the guy but I was like whatever. a grown man needs to be able to open his mouth and express himself).

I’d love to get out early but I don’t think I’ll cry about it. I just told her to not “bank” on leaving early around the holidays. It would be nice but it’s not a requirement. That way if it don’t happen you aren’t too disappointed. It’s only for a couple of hours

Hi gang…..just dropping in for a spell. On topic: All this new age dating stuffiness is way over my head!!!! Date survey just sounds silly to me….maybe someone feels they need this. Question is..how many people would be totally honest or just sugar coat and be nice. Not really an effective method.

Slim – I didn’t see that particular episode, but I’m sure they will rerun it because that sounds very interesting!!
What tripped me out was the chubby ATL couple(if that’s what you want to call them) Gaylyn and Sheldon. Boy, talk about a desperate woman! She’s like “This is Atlanta! The men outnumber the women 18 to 1, so if you find even a piece of a man you better hold on to him!” Bottom line, if he couldn’t be there for me when my daddy died, game over!! What was cool were the statistics they flashed in the corner, that actually the ratio of men to women in ATL is 1.3 to 1.
Interesting show.

@Kimmie
That number is male to female; it does not account for married couples, gay males/females, bi-females, or the various socio-income demographics. Thus the number is just as erroneous as 18 to 1.
Depending on one’s ’standards’ the latter number may be accurate.
kimmie
May 24th, 2012
2:22 pm
Dan – Oh, I figured the numbers were flawed in both cases! The show flashing that statistic, though, just highlighted how pitiful she was to feel like she had to settle for dude’s shenanigans. I mean, he would stand her up on many occasions, and she just went along with it because she felt she had to. She wouldn’t even confront him and tell him it was unacceptable to treat her that way.

disco – Now, your son graduating is worth a big CONGRATS!!!
I have 4 friends that have kids graduating this spring!! Graduation is always such an exciting time!! In fact, I’m making sangria and a poundcake to take to one of those friend’s graduation party they are giving for their 2 sons. Of course, the sangria is for the grown folks! These boys are just graduating from high school, so no alcohol for them. Mom & Dad love my poundcake too.
Other than that, we may do a little cooking out, but for the most part, just chillin. Sometimes it’s nice to not have anything solid planned. Just go where the wind takes you!!

kimmie – last weekend I baked a 7up cake. living alone, I immediately froze half of it. last night I was kicking myself for not cutting it into slices before freezing. I would have taken a slice out of the freezer but an entire half of cake just seemed wrong. on my way to essence. will be back.

My late brother’s mother-in-law can bake a mean 7-up cake! I know you could kick yourself for not freezing slices!! You might could let it thaw partially, just enough for you to cut it in some slices and immediately refreeze. Poundcake usually holds up quite well!
Yeah, Jada’s head looks huge!
disco
May 24th, 2012
3:57 pm
I’m telling myself it was strategy to freeze the entire half. slices would be too tempting to pull out one (or two) at a time. an entire half makes me hold off until I anticipate having company or something. since the offspring is gone I’ve learned to watch what I bring in the house because I’m the only one there to eat it.
kimmie

disco – I used to do the same strategies when I lived by myself. In fact, a lot of stuff used to go immediately in the freezer. It was too much trouble to wait until it thawed and heat if necessary. I get it. Where do you have to go for the graduation? Maybe you can take it with you.
disco
May 24th, 2012
4:12 pm
ahhh. I would have never thought to take the cake to graduation. of course, that could mostly be because I’m selfish. lol. actually my son always clowned me for liking what he calls “old lady cakes”. the graduation is in Nashville. if you recall I mentioned earlier that I was hoping to have a repeat of a steak dinner I had there a few weeks ago.
looks like we’ve been officially abandoned on here.
