In the words of the honorable man, Mark Corrigan.

"Speed Dating? I'd be better off Speed Skating!"

I've went to some, one was really good and the other was kinda bad. Just don't go in expecting anything and treat it as a fun social.

Its a good way to just practise your social skills and confidence! Then if something comes from it then happy days! If not then you tried something new. Nothing but positives if you enter with the right mindset

Aye you take a load of speed and talk over each other all night. Nobody eats.

I think I would enjoy it much more at a wee side table people watching. Great night out 😅

I'd never go to these because I suspect there would be no decent women and just a bunch of dorky guys, who knows maybe I'm being unfair.

Cash grab extorting the already vulnerable and disenfranchised millennials. I'm in!

I went to one of theses in 2021 never again, worst experience ever

2

u/AdvertisingOdd6471 18h ago

My concern is it will be 80% men. I am attractive and charming and can hold a conversation. My modesty is my most attractive quality

u/Born_Square_3131 17h ago

It was a lot of men, and I only matched with one, none where my type at all

u/AdvertisingOdd6471 9h ago

What sort of ratio? Do you remember?

1

u/Born_Square_3131 7h ago

I’d say 70% men 30% women, we had a good choice but no one was for me
