anyone tried speed-dating ?
 

if yes, please share your experiences


:thumbsup

I prefer paddo dating

Sure, you come over, raise your overall attractiveness with like 50 - 100 bucks and then you even may be able to score! :)

No such thing here

I guess this term is quite known, but if it isn't here's the wiki entry on it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_dating

sounds like fun :banana

I guess the fun ends when no girl wants to see you again :Oh crap

hm.. didn't even think about that :helpme

I don't understand the need for these dating services.. I mean, there are so many chicks out there in bars and clubs alone; I don't understand how someone can't just hook-up with a hottie there...

Girls are too easy these days . . :(

Yes, in US it's way easier, girls actually wanna TALK..:pimp

Tried it twice but both times I ended hooking up in a relationship the normal way before I went on real dates with anyone. I did like it though and got good response.

If you and her can't carry on a 5 minute conversation then the idea of going out to dinner is pretty mute. Also you get to eye each other up in real life so overall it beats the heck out of online dating imo.

I ended up with poo on my face...




Then she hacked my yahoo... :(

bump

i may try it one day

although im not sure what kind of girls try such things

either the ones busy with their careers or the golddiggers would be my guess

but perhaps im wrong

dude, it sounds like a hoot, if I was single I'd definitely give it a go!

Never have. I might try it if it gets popular in my city.

What sort of people go speed dating?
Most are professionals who want to improve their chances of meeting the right person. They're generally normal, attractive people with varied interests who normally mix with the same group of friends and work colleagues and rarely get the opportunity to meet many new people in one go.

Speed Dating is ideal for those who lead busy lives, don't have much time and want to meet new people in a fun, safe environment.


Do many people come on their own?
About a third do

:eek2

Did it once, was pretty funny. I went with a bunch of friends.

One thing you need to be beware when speed dating is the age range(much wider than in bars). But they usually have age categories. You can possibly have some really good surprises there.

i dont do bars or clubs so thats not an option for alot of people. Plus in the 20+ years i did hang out in bars or clubs all I got was laid. Never found a woman i would want to date on a reg basis. (and I worked in bars for 18 years)

A very well known GFYer and I went to a speed dating event a month ago. I thought it was horrible. The women were 99% dogs IMHO and I couldnt imagine spending more then 6 minutes with any of them. The guy I went with had lower standards then I did LOL ;). There was 8 guys and 6 women so that meant every guy had to sit out 2 rounds. (they claimed 2 women called at the last minute and canceled). The speed dating manager was a moron. all in all id give it a 2 out of 10.

Im actually going to try it again tomorrow night (as they gave me a free event cause the first one was soo bad). I dont have high hopes but figured why not its free.

2/3 of the women at the event i did were professionals. the other 1/3 were administrative.

i didnt get the feeling any of them were gold diggers

I'm going to try speed fucking...a little different twist on speed dating...cuts right to the chase so to speak

Well I don't go to clubs or bars...I "work" out of my home...and the social groups I hang out with the male to female ratio is like 30:1.

So, yeah....to come across a dateable chick it's a bit difficult right now.

werent you married?

Bars are fine if all you wanna do is get laid.

But, at some point, you go out looking for more than that.

Isn't it called being a player? Now we call it speed dating?

She left me for an uglier guy

speed seduction at clubs = being a player

speed dating = sth else

:2 cents:

It takes off all the thrill of the hunt...

bahhhh. Im done hunting. Im fucking getting old. I have no interest in chasing some piece of ass around.

been there done that

tell us how it goes tommorow :)

I used to host speed dating events in California. You'd be surprised how attractive the women were. The guys on the other hand... =X

Definitely worth a shot once or twice...anything after that and you will get sick of it

sorry to hear

Lol you are really sad. Get some friends, and ask them jeez

what do you mean?

is speed-dating for sad people?

so forest is sad because he went on it ?

anyway, thanks for your input

Meth is bad mmkay.

Even when dating.

polish_aristocrat, you posted several threads similar to this one before. You must be desperate to meet a women.

I wish you luck.

just do it, if I find out they have it over her I'd do it too, the result doesn't matter, the experience does, try a new thing every day, that's what adds spice to life!
