What would your ideal description of yourself be? →[More:]Suppose two people were talking about you, and they had to describe you--how do you think they would go about doing it? What would they say?

Me, I guess the best way to describe me would be to say that I'm a guy whose always got his head in the clouds--daydreaming.

You?

A: Who was that fucking asshole?

B: Huh, Meatbomb? He's a good guy, if you get to know him. But yeah, he's a fucking asshole, too.

"Gentleman, scholar, damn good judge of fine whiskey, bon vivant, cutting a fine form, sexy beast, rapier like wit, sage, first among equals, and compassionate" or, "Um? Who? Wha?".

Someone who had just met me once said:

"She's very colorful. In all senses of the word."

The other day my friend described me as 'every kind of dork there is'. I'm not proud of that. But then again, I kind of am.

Heh, I've been described that way more than once.

"He is what you see" would suit me.

"Stunningly beautiful."

[it's not true, but it's what I would like]

Supple, yet ambiguous. Divine, yet multifaceted. Blue, yet Oligathy. Hue, yet Tasmania. Golgotha, yet Phylactery. Smattering, yet tabular. Gegenschein, yet ponderous. Miasma, yet Catalina. Wispy, yet leather glove. Or something.

Much like dg, I would like people to describe me as WYSIWYG.

Bangin'.

Oddly enough, this became some how associated with me in college, probably due to my tendency to use it in a sentence as much as possible spread apart by lots of swear words when intoxicated. My parents said that there were a bunch of people who said it when I walked across the stage at graduation, but I couldn't hear it.

At least they didn't call me 'weird and scary in the Columbine sort of way' like they did when I was a freshman.

I've heard all of these at some point or another in my life:

Lost, Selfish, Sweet, "the exception to every rule", Caring, Compassionate, Funny, Entrepreneurial, Quick, Hyper, Poetic, Creative, Insensitive, Lazy, Distracted, Hot, Disgusting, Silly, "the sexiest man I've ever met", "not my type - or anyone's", Underachiever, Overachiever, Dedicated, Loyal, Solipsistic, "the LT's of the world do...", "fucking asshole shithead", "with your track record, I don't see any of that happening...", Monster, "the world is a better place with you in it", "the world is lucky it has you", All Talk - No Action, and adorable.

In other words, your mileage may vary.

According to my grandkids, "Papa is silly." Good enough.

Trying.

In every sense of the word.

You have to have sex with me to truly understand me. It's better than any description I can give.

Animated. Not quite a cartoon, but...

Someone once used the word "resilient" to describe me, and that sums me up perfectly.

Has got a good brain, is a nice person, and is well accomplished.

Remember, there will always be people who disagree with your description of yourself. To some extent, it is always a good idea for people to at least privately think about these people 'Hey, you who disagree with me on these very vital things? Fuck you in the ear.'

Also, your post history on Metafilter and Metachat indicates this is one post in a very long line of similar posts. You sound depressed.
