Google "interesting questions for speed dating" to ask them if you go next time. Like "what were you for Halloween?" or What foods do you like to eat?" or "What is your ideal hairstyle, shoes, purse, etc." They like to talk about that crap. Plus it's not the typical boring. "So what do you do for work" or family resume type of crap everyone asks. My friend went to it and bombed. I'd guess dress nicely casual too, Clean shoes, clean cut etc.

I ask the ladies all those questions. I also dress in nice casual clothes too. I still bombed.

What did I do wrong ? Does speed dating have such high failure rate ?

Dunno, but why would you subject yourself to a situation in which women are appointed the selectors and you ,and the other males, subject yourselves to their review ?

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself.

The girls who go to speed dating often to not have a set criteria of a guy they want.

I.e, the Mr. Right Bull Cra*, will most probably play heavily and they will be judging you on your ability to slot into a set of criteria, almost like ticking the boxes on a form.

Also the girls who go to these places, in my mind have a few issues too.

I once went to speed dating with a friend, I admit it, I didn't book it, he did and he needed some support so I went with him.

You could tell a good % of the women where heavy career chicks, the most attractive that I talked to (about 2%) of the room, all she talked about was her car, her job and how much money she earned, serious career chick, looking for a guy who earned more cash than her, strange in that environment the guys that had what she wanted, she didn't like them pysically.

Another girl I was talking to, she came pritty full on, about a 5 on the rating scale, but I could tell straight out she had issues, when I talked to another chick, she came over grabbed my hand and asked what I was doing, I'd only spoke to the chick for about 5 minutes and she acted like I was her husband. I just gave her a blank stare, almost akin to get the fu** away.

The rest of the girls huddled together like little hens, waiting for a guy to approach - hardly any of them where anything above a 5 in the full spectrum (healthy in the head and fuc*able), and it was plain to see most of them had a set of criteria points for a guy to fill, they had an agenda for the type they'd date.

No I didn't score on speed dating, the girls I was slightly interested in, where on reflection dull and boring.

Also I didn't wait for the sit down, I aquired numbers prior, without waiting for some report card bull0cra* - I received about 6 numbers with contacting 2, with no replies from either.

So I went out with my mates and pulled a more level headed chick, who didn't have a stupid criteria of needs requirement to get intimate, that revolved around some fantasy magazine tat.

Speed dating is hardly filled with normal level headed chicks anyway - I mean if she was desirable, why would she be there? It's almost like online dating but worse - It's like they fail at online dating so they try speed-dating -

Also speed dating is awash with loosers, I was surrounded by beta ti*'s hugging pints, whilst I dragged my friend from girl to girl - You'd think you'd clear up in speed dating, you'd be wrong - The girls usually have an agenda, unless you slotted in, you wont get there - That agenda seemed to be one that described MR Right, unrealistic expectations, hence why there where single.


Roissy doesn't like it also (found it though a google search)

The guy is a self confessed playa, who talks like he knows the shi*.

SPEED DATING= going to a used car lot where they have gotten the cars clean, but the salesperson will not let you open the hood or test drive any of them.

How in the hell are you going to be able to tell what a person is about within 30-45 seconds? Sounds like a way to waste of time to me or if you want to go just to do something, knock yourself out.

Ive always wanted to try it....mainly because of watching what happened in "40 Year Old Virgin" lol.

If I find any in Vegas ill let you know what happens. But I know for sure I would create some random interest topic and run with it.

Its almost the same as group interviews. When I was younger I was a retail store manager back in NYC and I would regularly conduct group interviews and see who would be the most memorable candidates. I alsways wanted someone who could spice things up.

Like Tinctrar said create a random or google a random interest topic. Not your usual resume type question. Ask them what the happiest or saddest time in their life was and maybe they will open up more as you would be more interested in them as a person and you may have a connection to talk about that way. Or you could ask them what the wildest or frightening time of their life was. You could see how they handle things and challenges they've faced in life.

I've never heard of a man who had a good review of speed-dating. Actually, I don't think I've ever heard a good review of it by anyone ever.

Probably not a good use of your time.
