alphamale Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 So last nite I tried my first "speed dating" event. A friend of mine, Sue, runs some of these in the Detroit area and she was bugging me for 6 months to try it out. I kept on refusing cause I thought it would be artificial and contrived and after all, what can u tell about someone in 5 minutes? So about a month ago she said she would not charge me ($35) to come to my 1st event and I finally went last nite. It was pretty good and held at a bar so you could at least have a few drinks to relax. I met 10 women, talked to each one for about 5 or 6 minutes. Each person has a name tag and ID which you write down on a card on which you can also write down notes and "yes" or "no". Out of the ten conversations I'd say only one was sorta akward. And 3 or 4 of the women were pretty decent Then after the event everyone who attended logs into a website and enters the people they do and don't want to see again. If there are any mutual matches each party gets an automatic email with contact info. It wasn't bad at all, i've already gotten two mutual matches. I'd recommend it. Link to post Share on other sites
LucreziaBorgia Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hey, if I were still in the market I'd check it out. It sounds fun. Got details on any of the good potentials? Any of the duds? I'm the curious sort, I guess - in that I like to hear what men find to be 'potential' traits and 'dud' traits. Link to post Share on other sites

Marshbear Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 What age group are we talking here? Are we talking all ages or age specific? Link to post Share on other sites
Author alphamale Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Originally posted by Marshbear What age group are we talking here? Are we talking all ages or age specific? well, M.B., each event has a specific age group. the one I went to was 28-40. Since I am 40, all the women were younger than me or close to my age. There is like a 21-27, 41-50, etc.... but it was evenly dividied between men and women. Link to post Share on other sites
BigB Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 do they have like scripted questions to ask? or do you just wing it? Link to post Share on other sites
Author alphamale Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Originally posted by BigB do they have like scripted questions to ask? or do you just wing it? nothing was scripted adn there were no list of questions to ask. 5 min is not a long time and u can barely get your name out, where u live, job, etc.... but i was amazed what i picked up in that short amt of time. the 2nd woman i talked with was totally dizzy, (but cute!) and it did show after the first minute or two.

Author alphamale Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Originally posted by Linlin And you didn't get her digits?????? well LINLIN, she looked just like Kate Hudson but not too much upstairs. She'd be a good f***. I marked her down as a "yes" and if she did the same for me then i'll get an email with her phone # or email address. I'm not gonna hold my breath tho.

Linlin Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I wish they had something like that down here. Right now the well is kind of dry. Custom's Broker boy still has not ponied up. I talked to him by email today, several times. I mentioned that my hot tub is ready to go for parties in 3 weeks. He did ask how does he get invited to a party and does he have to wear a bathign suit. How Am I supposed to interpret that? Other FWB are busy or our timing is off right now. It's been 2 weeks and no action. I am dying!!!! Sorry to hijack your thread. Link to post Share on other sites
