Girls, STOP asking this stupid question. Not what year or how old, but when is your birthday. Why? Because everyone knows the real question. So they can judge you on your astrological sign. Lady, that makes you a total dingbat.
Astrology is hilarious. Stars align so it creates your character. Bull plop. How about the shit that happens to you shapes who you are? I understand a lot of coincidences happen. But we shouldn't be marginalized about how the sun and moon and houses and all this other mamby-jahamby stuff makes you behave. If it's just an ice-breaker questions, I could give you a ton other topics to rap about. None dealing with weather. How about "what do you like/hate most about your job?" people can chat hours about that. Especially the hate.
See, when you start off with your sign, there is already a HUGE pre-conceived notion of who they think you are. In fact, most use it as a filtering process. "Oh, no I can't deal with Pisces, they crazy." Or "Gemini, huh?...lie to anyone lately?" You discount a lot of potential this way.
I'm not saying it's not cute. Or girlish. And the fact that I consider it dumb and you love it, is okay...after a few months. Let me give you an equivalent to how it feels:
You: "So, what type of restaurants do you go to out here in L.A.?"
Me: "Whoa, before we start...what is your bra size? My last girlfriend was an "A" cup and we can't get along if you're that."
See, it's that annoying.
