I ticked everyone apart from one, but she was a right munter.
Terrible experience!
I was too honest. I put my Mercedes key on the table, should have kept quiet about it being the A class.
A Toyota Aygo may have improved my pulling prowess. -
I like to think everyone was there for a reason. I.e. me as a fairly ugly, overweight sociopath with no social skills and a fear of women. But at least I recognise it
I went with a friend a few times and it was a good laugh, although was fairly soul crushing when as a bloke you had 3 "ticks" and her as a young single woman of the late 20s variety with good looks got 20+ (i.e. everyone).Comment

Things are going down hill.
In my day speed dating was about how fast you could get into a birds knickers!
My fastest was the time taken to speak six words.
"Shall I come in with you?" I asked a girl who was sharing a taxi with me my mate and his bird.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment

Can you modern blokes not just find a woman in the normal way ?
(I don't mean hanging around street corners down the docks asking you if you're looking for business).
I mean using your natural good looks, humour and charm (or maybe some rohypnol on a bad day) to get a bird interested ??When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Speed dating? Sounds horrid.
Always seen it as a suvern fing. Up Nurth we just talk to each other in public situations, you know, like on the bus / train / pub seat etc.Comment
