Speed dating

[Eljuego]

Hello Men,

So I'm going to a speed-dating event on Friday. I'm in Spain and a member of a meet-up group for language exchanges and related events and this is one of the events they've organised. It will be speed-dating and language exchange rolled into one. That is to say, 7 women will have 7 minutes in English and then a further 7 minutes in Spanish to impress me! :rockon:

My initial objective was just to go to it as another social event, have a laugh and what happens, happens. Ok "have a laugh".....provoke, wind-up, tease, ball bust, build attraction...and what happens happens.

Then I listend to the audio book of "The Game" and I was thinking of applying the following in my two rounds of 7 minutes:
1. Asking the following question: If I was to ask you 3 things about yourself that would make me want to get to know you better, and they can't be your looks or what you do; what would they be?

I used something similar involving Pareto's principle when I was using internet dating a short while ago. It worked to a point, the babies tried to qualify themselves.

2. The story of Ross Jeffries and the waitress. I was thinking of using this exact same anchoring technique that he used with a young waitress.


What would you think of these two "tactics" for speed-dating?
Any suggestiong or tips for this speed-dating event?

I've never been to one before! How does it usually end? Are you supposed to write down who you'd be interested in and the babies do the same? or is it just a free for all at the end? ie who ever clicked "swaps contact info or whatever"

Anyway, it should be a laugh!!!! :box:

Dear El Juego,

Hi Scaramouche,

Thanks for the question. Well I was using online dating a while back. I think I closed my account on POF at the end of January. By the way, I think it's a universal thing with POF....this is the second country where I've used it and the quality leaves a lot to be desired...

I'd just moved to a new city and was trying to get three plates / fwb up and running while I worked on my social life etc

Anyway, to the point....Pareto's principle....I basically wrote a little explanation in my profile and finished it with something like this comment, "80% of you on this site are not worth my time or energy" then another little comment which comes from a Spanish song:
"siempre hay dos bandos y ahora tienes que elejir, dime si estas en el que estoy yo" Theres always two groups and now you must choose, tell me if your in the one that I'm in.

The result was that almost every response I got started with "I'm in the 20%...."

I got tired of that site though. One of the main reasons was the age restrictions. The ones near my age are bitter, damaged biatches who are eager for babies......I'm thinking of joining it again in a month or two with a younger age in my profile....everyone thinks I'm younger than I am as it is.

Well for all of those that followed my thread with bathed breath, I think it's only fair that I give an update...

The quality of the women was poor. Only six showed up and I would rate them as 4 x HB6 (being generous to two of them), 1 x HB 5 and 1 x HB 4 (being kind to her...what she lacked physically she matched with her personality). The organiser of the event became woman number 7. HB 7 with a boyfriend.

It was totally in Spanish. I asked them some questions, teased their answers and a little bit of kino...

We all had a paper with numbers 1 to 7 and the following 3 columns, "Friends , more than Friends, Nothing" Which IMO is a nonsense. There should be two columns "interested or not interested".

I filled in more than friends for the 4 HB6's. I couldn't bring myself to do it for the other two.

The organiser was to text us the next day with our "matches". She contacts me....I have a grand total of.............zero matches!!

Every one of the babies put me in the friend column. I immediately think "the woman of today is an idiot. The lets start as friends thinking. I know at least two of them were interested from what they said to me afterwards. They asked me "well did you find a girl you like" etc bit of teasing and playfulness.

I was right. The organiser contacts me later with this bull**** : "one or more of the girls have changed their mind and want to put you in the more than friends column" (after hearing I put them there) "if you tell me which ones your interested in and they match, i will give you their numbers" Me "but I already wrote four names on the paper" her "give me two names..." Me "I gave you four". Long story short, she said no. I sent her a picture of a dead birtd to signify my broken heart and her dog**** soul.

Moral of the story: never go to a dating event organised by a women.

I actually never got to try the whole speed dating craze when it got popular in the U.S. and damn near every nightclub and bar was organizing one of these things.

I think if I went to one, I'd rely on the boner test. If positive, I'm not screwing around to get her life story. I'd start out asking her what her favorite position is; if she says anything else other than doggy, instant neg on her, and I'd probably escalate it further with one more question to gauge her interest. Still nothing, than I'll sit the rest of the time in silence because I'm not wasting more energy on her.

But the one who likes doggy and/or keeps reciprocating with me, I'll escalate the f*ck outta there and bang her right then.

Oh on a positve note: I made two male friends!!!

So zero numbers from the ladies and two from the fellas :cheer:
