This is the oddest question in the list of canned 2nd questions because unless he or she is a LICENSED psychologist or counselor, your match has no qualifications to answer the question. In other words, over 99% of the time, the answer is crap! (The American Psychology Association only has 145,000 members in the USA.)

Here’s how people all over the web answered this:

Life is great … I wake up each day thanking God that I’m given another day. –lulucantero

Up-and-up. Optimistic. Ive got a great job, a good truck, a camper, a muscle car and my own residence with enough room for extra people. Im out on my own, supporting my family and my health is great. So other then a tad bit of loneliness, all is well. The only thing that could make it better would be banana cream pies, rubber chickens, cool whip, weed whippers, wild ravenous man eating woodchucks and an angry banjo playing mountain gorilla on hormone therapy. –Aramus

My emotional health is just fine, but strained because my husband is not well and we are counting on two tests Tuesday to come out negative (hopefully.) Still, we are both up beat because we love each other and we have beaten better odds against us than this. We are also blessed with people from this board and our friends and family surrounding us with their caring and support. You can’t get better than that! –Marcy

So, how does one answer this? DO NOT PLAY IT SAFE. DO NOT ANSWER LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES. For example,

I spent a few months in therapy a few years ago, because a woman whom I deeply cared about kept asking me these crazy questions.

When going out for dinner, I always ask the chef to skip the olives. I hate olives and I go bananas when I see them in my plate. Other than this quirk I am quite emotionally healthy.

Sometimes I wish that some people will just DIE!

I asked Jenny, my guardian fairy, this question and she said I’m in excellent mental health. She’s a great judge of character so you can take her word for it.

I think you get the idea.
