Sounds relaxing to be around Chad. I'm assuming he'll talk about other topics. How refreshing to hang out with someone who can talk about something other than controversial subjects and who apparently doesn't spew his personal life problems all over people, or whine.

I'd love to hang out with Chad.

There's the flip side you know, to people who think spewing their opinions and problems all over you means that you are "close." Spare me that kind of closeness.

I prefer people like Chad over people who reveal WAY too much about themselves, whether on social media or in real life.


There are a bunch of people I work with, for example, about whom I know way too much about their relationships, their health issues, their menstrual cycles, the quality of their mucus from their chest cold, who is and isn't talking to whom, etc. And this is just from when I got to the coffee room to re-fill my cup and run back to my office. I'd like more Chads in my workplace.

As long as Chad isn't lazy, I wouldn't dislike him.

Naw, but I think people who do no harm are all good.

This guy would be easy to work with or for, I think. I'm not sure if he would be likely to be a close, personal friend.

Lol!!

Chad is basically me, I tend to be very private at work and it has served me well. I also do not do FB or Twitter.

Would you like him, dislike him, or ignore him?

Chad is in his 30s, married w/o kids.
I wouldn't care as my own life is fulfilling enough not to waste time and energy worrying about someone's Facebook output. It wouldn't even cross my mind, and I pity the person whose mind it does cross.

I don't think that I would mind hanging out with Chad. I get kind of overwhelmed with the amount of religious and political stuff flung my way by the people I know.
