So telynor pointed me at this page. I found a lot of the questions rather annoying, as they a) assume monogamy, and b) occaisionally offered an either-or question to which the answer was in the middle. I was particular put off by:
A Relationship requires compromise. Whose?
a. Yours
b. Theirs
The correct answer is, to my mind, “both”.
Anyway, here’s the result if anyone’s actually interested:
The Gentleman
Deliberate Gentle Love Master
Steady & mature. You are The Gentleman.
For anyone looking for an even-keeled, considerate lover, you’re their man. You’re sophisticated. You know what you want both in a relationship and outside of it. You have a substantial romantic side, and you’re experienced enough sexually to handle yourself in that arena, too. Your future relationships will be long-lasting; you’re classic “marrying material,” a prize in the eyes of many.
It’s possible that behind it all, you’re a bit of a male slut. Your best friends know that in relationships you’re fundamentally sex-driven. You’re a safe, reliable guy, who does get laid. In a lot of ways, you’re like a well-worn, comfortable pair of socks. Did you ever jack off into one of those? All the time.
Your exact opposite:
The Last Man on Earth
Your ideal mate is NOT a nut-job. She is giving and loving, like you, but also experienced. Avoid the The Battleaxe at all fucking costs.

Uh, it’s kind not a compromise if only one party compromises, is it?

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Whoever wrote that quiz was probably seriously scarred by misuse of the word “compromise” as code for “do it my way Or Else”.

Yeah but picking “both” doesn’t tell us much about you.
Making you choose between ‘yours’ and ‘theirs’ however tells us a lot.
elynne
Yes… but that’s what “compromise” means. If both people aren’t giving something up, or gaining, it’s not a “compromise”.

Nod, I took the test just for the hell of it and was rather peeved at the all of the A/B choices, when there could have easily been a C, D and E.
I probably would’ve gotten the same result if I’d simply flipped a coin at each question… OK, heads, I pick A… tails, it’s B.
