nah man, interviewers love it, they know it is a stupid question. its a moment of levity in a really boring process.

the delivery is key. i'm not sure if i can explain that part.

Pros
-Caring
-Selfless
-Great sense of humor
-Good looking (which I dont believe but everyone says I am)
-Old fashioned (ie I take intiative, pay for first date, chivalrous)

Cons
-Horribly insecure
-Jealous
-Push you away when my feelings get too strong
-Not a lot of money
-Low self esteem (read above how I dont believe Im good looking)

I suppose my cons outweigh the pros

Pros: I think I'm funny sometimes.

Cons: I'm actually not funny sometimes.

Independent as a cat. I don't need you for every little thing, but when I like you you'll know.😻

(Yes, one can be both extremely loyal and also very independent.)

I like this.

On me: first the cons

Cons: I've finally cracked and lost touch with all reality.

Pros: I'm only seeing one pro, and that's my therapist.

Really, there is no sense in dating me. I've completely lost it and I don't think I'm getting it back.

Yup, forgot about that one: eating habits. Can be a con for those who choose to be bothered by it. Even when it doesn't effect them.

Add self awareness to your pros

[riaelise]

when I was dating -

pros
could hold a good conversation
varied interests, including video games
good listener
independent
real/honest
not conceited, totally approachable.
sensitive
loyal
trusting - meaning if you earn my trust, i'll trust you until you break it. so no, i will not ask "where we you?", check your phone, or any of that jealousy ****. break my trust though, and we're done.
have a sense of self worth
financially secure (which goes along with being independent)
love with my heart

cons:
opinionated and can be argumentative. (This has improved a bit with age and the fact that I am married to a compatible man)
can be a "lone wolf". didn't like seeing someone every day, or more than a couple times per week
temper (again, this improved with age and marriage to the right guy!)
incompatible with hyper dominant men.
independent - prone to making my own decisions without consultation, used to being in charge. (this has changed when I married, as I'm in a partnership)

Pros: I have little cons
Cons: I have little pros

OK, I'll be serious:

I work hard and can do for myself so I don't need your money.
I am decent-looking
I am smart
I am funny
I am low-maintenance
I don't have kids for you to deal with
I will go the extra mile for someone I care about

Cons:

I am bipolar (although stable) but many people see this as a deal-breaker
I curse too much
I have a tough time trusting people
