lol...So does speed dating is actualy a thing that works?

[Reeve]

So while watching "12 Monkeys" I saw this scene where there is speed dating, I always thought that stuff was kind of a joke but then I looked around to see if there was any in my area and that thing is like highly accessible, yet I have never met anyone or heard anyone saying anything in real life about it, so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with that, jus for my own entertainment and curiosity.

Speed dating is obnoxious. I went to a speed dating once by accident. There was an attractive woman there who was interested in me and gave me her number unprompted, but when I called her she never called me back.

The actual process is obnoxious, so I'd say speed dating is best relegated to the days before online dating.

No, dating websites work for men too - just don't send them messages that begin, "y0 wh4t i5 up biznatch, y0u l00k f1ne, DTF?".
Find someone you like / have things in common with, talk briefly about what you share in common, ask them to coffee.

To be fair, that's not really how they end up working for men. We have to send about 100 of those "Hey, wanna go to coffee?" messages for every 1 actual response we get, which still has a pretty decent chance of being "No".

Ayy lmao

Do people actually find long term companions from bars?

Sure, absolutely.

Biznatch has always been my go-to-word. Never fails to disappoint.

Maybe I'm just pretty, but that's not been my experience - I've more often than not garnered a response from messages I've sent.

Yeah, I would definitely say that isn't typical (in my experience).

Tinder is a joke.

I've found Tinder to be pretty good actually, why do you say it's a joke?

[Melkandor]

Tinder is a joke.

I Tinder while taking a dump sometimes. Am I doing it right?

[dd614]

Isn't Tinder essentially e-speed dating?

tinder you'll pretty much find skeezy people who just want sex.

You're doing it wrong. Don't blame the game.

And you'll be lucky to not get "the clap" unlike a good friend of mine

I'm not doing anything wrong lol. I'm married
It's an absolute fact that the average man has to message more/get less messages than the average woman on a dating site, but that's neither here nor there.

Ayy lmao

I have before, however, this was before the internet being used for dating was a thing. Internet dating is fascinating to me, but I've never actually done it before.

[glo]

Title gore.

I'd say dating websites offer the same medium as speed dating. You get a quick glimpse of who they are and you decide to investigate more or move on to the next. It's essentially the same thing except you don't meet in person and you go through more people online faster.

If that's all you're finding, you're doing it wrong. Besides, what's wrong with that even if it is what you find?

Speed dating always appeared too quick. Like, I'm usually shy and observing for awhile before advancing, so speed dating wouldn't work for me. I'd scan the room for the couple of cute ones and eavesdrop on their conversations before it was out turn to interact and then pick up more information on something that caught my ear.

I'd hate having a moose be really into me.

Do you mean an actual moose or is it some kind of slang I don't get?
