It’s late. You’ve had a few adult beverages. You’re with a few friends. Or maybe you’re alone.
It’s time to break out ten questions you might not ask if you were sober.
* * *
Let’s Get Physical
Assuming one-on-one combat, what percentage of the world’s population could you handle in a fight?
*
Unshackle the Chains
Consider the laws in whichever country you call home.
Choose three things you want to no longer be illegal.
*
Buying Love
You have $10 with which to build your ideal romantic companion.
Spend wisely:
$5 – Fantastic in Bed $5 – A Great Parent
$3 -An Amazing Body $3 – A Great Sense of Humor
$3 – Highly Intelligent $2 – A Specific Skill ($2 per Skill)
$1 – Has ________ in Common With You ($1 Each)
$3 – Morally Solid $5- Wealthy
$7 – Will Always Love You

Silver Tongues
What is the worst lie you’ve ever told?
If you’re reluctant to answer, then…
…what is the worst lie someone has ever told you?
And why?
*
The Heist
If you could steal any one thing in the world and make it yours forever, what would it be?
It can be an object, a person, a life situation, a place.
You won’t get in any trouble for taking it.
No one will ever know.
Well?
*
On a Scale of 0-10…
…in which 0 is ‘not at all’, 5 is average, and 10 means ‘highly’:
How intelligent are you?
How physically attractive are you?
How charming?
How artistic?
How generous?
And how narcissistic?
*
Three Drinks Too Many
People in relationships can answer this one, too. (just make sure their significant other is cool…or not present.)
So…
It’s Friday night.
You’re out with your friends, no date.
You’ve had a few drinks too many.
If you were to text or call any one person from your past, who would it be.
And why?
*
Let’s Just Hope They Shave
Think about romance during previous generations.
The Roaring 20’s
The Sexual Revolution
The Renaissance
Suppose you got a chance to sample a bit of romantic life in one of these time periods.
Which one would you pick?
And why?
*
Fight Club Time Machine
Suppose you’re given the chance to travel back in time to fight any one historical figure to the death.
If you defeat them, the course of history will be changed in accordance with their absence.
The fight will be hand-to-hand. Your foe will be in their prime.
Whom will you fight?
*
The Ultimate ‘What if?’
If you could be a member of the opposite sex for one single day, would you?
Assume no one but you will ever know.
If yes, what would you like to experience?
What age would you want to be?
What situation would you want to be in?
If you’re not interested, why not?
* * *
These ten questions were pried from the pages of my Coffee Table Philosophy series.
In these books, I pose more than 1,000 questions to people.
Some of which are here.
And sexier ones are here.
