Reason for Filling out questionnaire: To meet cool people so I can live out my NYC fantasy of having a close friend group that explores the city together
Favorite party topic: The topic is why friends are the meaning of life and how our society is doing us an injustice by emphasizing romantic relationships over platonic ones. I would briefly bring it up but not talk anyone's ear off.
Reason for Filling out questionnaire: I saw this questionnaire on the streets and i love having and making new friends so well here we go!
Favorite party topic: Musical Theater. I could talk about it for hours if given the vacuum but i’m good at controlling myself.
Reason for Filling out questionnaire: because I am 1000% curious who would make this questionnaire and also because I think am unhinged and terminally online.

Favorite party topic: Oh. Anything animal related more specifically, opossums or pigeons. I would and have most definitely shared my thoughts with people. Hopefully to educate them
Reason for Filling out questionnaire: The current circles I hang in are a tad intellectually immature for my liking. It’s difficult to find people to have genuine, stimulating, thought provoking discussions with these days. Also many if my friends are depressed, I no longer am. I’d like to find happier friends.
Favorite party topic: Im obsessed with conflict resolution. I’m an avid problem solver and I’ve been blessed with impeccable social perception. I love vulnerability and learning the specific context for each individual’s life and how that made them the way they are. I’m deeply passionate about love and compassion...
Reason for Filling out questionnaire: I like meeting people in interesting ways, and this seemed funny to me.
Favorite party topic: hmmm probably artichokes? i love the fucking veggie. i'll tell you how to make them so yum. Recently went off about beck and Scientology because there's some crazy stories about him.
