You only get to use 5 words to make clear who you are to a potential mate. They cannot see you, they don't get to see a photo either. They will only have the 5 words you give.
Which 5 words describe you?
Think carefully, and don't come up with what you think THEY will like, really see if you can find the core essence of "you".

I did this, it was quite challenging. I changed it a number of times as I realized that some of the words that I normally use actually aren't the most important. Some other words that I had NOT thought of before convey much better who I am.
That was quite the eye-opener!

You can NOT squeeze a 6th word in!

I'm me, myself, and I.


Why do I have to think carefully when all they're going to do is read 5 words?

Other than that, no. What's the point of crossword masturbation?

Or is this some sort of SAW game? Like I locked them in a box and I said "Okay, I'm going to give you 5 words to define me, and if you want to date me based on those 5 words then I will let you out, I will provide absolutely no other information than those 5 words."
"But wait, sir, you just gave me a bunch of other words? I'm afraid those may bias my interpretation!"
"Dammmit! Now I need to get another box and another girl! Bring in the backhoe!"



What if one of my "core essence" words is panderer?
By your rules I'm screwed.


What if one of my core words is rebel, or contrarian? By your rules I'm either screwed or a liar, but then that means I'd also have to put in the word liar, which would take place of another word, ultimately giving me less than 5!

And what about slang words, or neologisms?
If those are okay, I can use just 1 word!

Faithful, honest, caring, funny, romantic

Integrity, bravery, self respect, honesty and good sense. Nice 'n simple, woo!

maverick, empathetic, meticulous, quick learner or adapt quickly

I did not do it!

Today I'm exhausted and hungry

Wait! What were the instructions?


......

12345.
Yeah, that's five words to describe me.

Crystal, note that Ricky gave you 5 words. The other guys didn't follow instructions. YES GUYS, Calling You Out !! LOL she said you cannot squeeze in a 6th word.....but you did.

ok for my 5 words:

honest, kind, adventurous, stubborn, innovative

I should've expected it. Learning a bit more about yourself is not for everyone, haha.

If I may when it comes to your 5 words... if you want to you can get to a deeper layer with that...
What would you want a potential partner to know about you that makes you uniquely you? It concerns a man you're interested in to date, and he cannot see you, he only has these 5 words to go by to decide whether he is interested in you or not.
"Honest" and "kind" are quite self-explanatory as most people are honest and kind, it doesn't make you uniquely you like the other 3 do.

Interdependent
Sensible
Passionate
Adventurous
Affectionate

Nice list!

I'm still working on my own list, as there's so much, so I have to really go for what's most important.

Passionate
feminine
bright
creative
sensual

I gave five words too.

Old short cranky
Oozing negativity

Haha, indeed you did. But it wasn't about just giving 5 words though

Thank you, River!
And yes, it is not as easy as it seems at first glance.
Nice that you noticed you had listed your masculine side!
My 'problem' was having some 8 words that I really wanted to have in there, haha.
But I think I am happy with the list I posted here.

Yes, it's difficult to narrow down to just five words, haha!

You're list describes you well

I'll most likely adjust mine as time goes on :)

Romantic
Compassionate
Realistic
Giving
Thoughtful
