    Yes, and got no matches.

    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).

        Awww, not true. Friendly and cuddly is how I'd describe you.

          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 younger

            It will help if he did not throw up during his dates......

              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 ??

                You should have told them about your childline stuff. Wimmin love that sh1t. And the bin burning - they love danger.

                Most wimmin hate sensible, "boring" type guys.

                  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.
