Oh.My.Actual.God!!! That link was hilarious!!Women can definitely afford to be picky when it comes to dating sites. I can guarantee the majority of women are going to ignore a "hey wanna fuk" in favour of someone more articulate, that has actually read their profile, and preferably is decent looking. In retrospect I wonder how many of those single women are dummy profiles made by men to gauge things lol, either way nobody would reply to hundreds of messages, hence the cherry picking.
Considering this country's birth rates you'll find men and women are essentially equal in numbers. Unless there is a colossal polygamy cult going on there's a one to one ratio for partnering up, men just seem more prevalent due to the fact everywhere you turn is a male wanting to get laid.
Kudos to any guy who creates a female profile to check out how the other half lives. It's definitely a good step towards knowing how to set yourself apart from the pack

Very Gene Simmons of you, DallasI actually set fire to my hair on a date many years ago (grr 80's musicians hair!), she had to put me out with the wine, I wonder if I'd be remembered as the hottest date she ever had ?

That's okay, DallasThanks Kathy! I just can't play bass with my tongue like he can!
Tongues should be useful for more than just playing bass with, I've always thought

What's that saying about "assume"??? As one of the working ladies commenting on this thread, you've assumed motives of those of us commenting that we may or may not share. For me personally, I thought it would be a really fun night. I really enjoy the company of the other w/ls that have commented and I imagined that a group of us at an event like that would make for a really great fun night out.
In the interests of full disclosure, I would not be going to such an event because I am looking for a long-term committed relationship, but I'm willing to guess that neither are a large percentage of the rest of the people who would give speed-dating a go, guys and girls alike. Lets bear in mind also that the common story seems to be that you have six minutes to talk to each person... How "interesting" are things going to get in that period of time?
It seems to me that what began as a pretty innocent thread has attracted more than its fair share of vitriol... Look for the worst in humankind, and surely you will find it...
Love

I agree with you Kathy about the time aspect of speed dating, that's why it wouldn't suit me especially as I'll spend literally hours talking to a w/l just to get to know them before booking! Although I suspect the idea with speed dating is that you get to really just see if you have a connection then can choose to take it further. I thought it was a good thread and I'd still give speed dating a try but I'd have to remember not to say at the end of the six minutes, do you want to get a room!

Exactly because of your "shit attitude" towards to women that's why you meet only shit people. I have seen man living in $ 5 mil. property try to get out of ex-wife juice maker and microwave through the court, but did not pay cent on child support in years!!!!!
Because you see bad in people that's why you get BAD. In fact all my divorced friends women doing so much better financially without their husbands because they do work and study hard. There was times when man walk away with head high after divorce...... Now they try to get as much as possible out of WOMEN! I hear stories like that every week.
e.g. " She took my house that i worked so hard for!" Oh, really...Never mind that she look after 3 little kids.. and clean, cook and wash your smelly socks all these years..Where this kids suppose to live????? . Stop blaming women!!!! Blame YOURSELF. And try to make RIGHT CHOICES.

Nice rant... pity it had nothing to do with my post
Ive never been married.
I just said meeting people at my age is shit because most of them are divorcees.
In my experience divorcees are desperate for the next cash cow
And arnt interested in a true relationship
This thread was about speed dating
I gave my views on the dating industry and the ladys on here confirmed my views about it.
Yes im cynical. At 45 your either cynical or a dumb sucker waiting to be fleeced

Oh I dont look for the worst but im also no dumb sucker
If you get around thinking every lady who pays you attention does so because she thinks your nice .. you will soon be extremely poor.
While I still put myself out there I am also very wary of the number of women that have agendas besides simply having a fun and happy relationship
I was caught out once but I was smart enough not to lose the lot
And have prevented other situations like it by being able to tell the signs.
The advatage I have is patience
A sure sign is ladys pushing like mad for the relationship to be taken further. Moving in snd talking about marriage etc.
This is due to them looking for quick resolution if your the next walking wallet or if they need to move on... and time is money hence the rush
I had one tell me flat out she moved out because she needed to find financial security
(No mention of love etc)

Meeting people in your 20s bares no resemblance to meeting people in your more mature years

Tried speed-dating and it wasn't my cup of tea. Personally, I found it to be highly stressful for me as I was used to a more solitary lifestyle as an interstate truck driver.
Tried the dating sites and all I got was email after email after email from genuine(?) ladies from overseas.
I've tried the dating agencies and put my own criteria on it...the match was to contact me! That method worked for me.
Tomorrow will be 7 years I've been married...and still learning.
