Ridiculous Qs: Could You Overlook this for True Love?
Last week, I posted my first-ever Ridiculous Question.
Here's the backstory. If you don't feel like reading that, all you NEED to know is that these are insane, hypothetical questions intended to basically break your brain (in a good way! Kinda.). So here's this week's question:
“You’re single and doing the online dating thing. You receive the funniest, most awesome message from a person who seems to fit every single thing you are looking for in a partner. From religious beliefs and education level to taste in music and books, they’re exactly what you are looking for. You exchange a bunch of messages, then decide to talk on the phone. Your first conversation last for hours— you stayed up waaay past your bedtime. There’s undeniable chemistry. Secretly, you think you might already be falling in love, and you can tell the feeling is mutual. You decide to finally meet in person.
When you meet, it’s clear that your date has 100-percent accurately represented themselves online and on the phone. Everything they said was true. However, there’s a problem: your soulmate looks exactly like your sibling. Not similar to your sibling; EXACTLY like your sibling.
Would you still date them?”
A few clarifying questions: If you don't have a sibling (or one of the gender you date), just imagine or pick someone else who is a rough equivalent (a first cousin, a very close childhood friend who isn't unattractive, but still makes you feel all gross-gross-gross-ew-ew-ew when you think of them 'like that').
