Anyone ever do it? There's a lot of little bars around Chicago that offer it for relatively cheap, but I don't want to blow 35 bucks on 30-year-olds and city skanks.

i've never done it but i'm pretty sure you can sign up for specific age groups so you're not in there with creepy old dudes at the same time.

Yeah, the age brackets are weird. This one I'm looking at is 22-33. I just turned 22. I don't think many young bucks like me would be out there, and I wouldn't go for someone so... old?

haha, yeah, i guess that's a bit of a wide spread but i'm pretty sure you can pass on anyone who you're totally uninterested in. i've thought about going before but i dunno, i'm a chicken and would probably waste my money since i'm really picky. maybe it could be fun if you go with a couple of friends and all do it together.

Theres nothing wrong with dating an older woman, and you're friends will think you're awesome for doing so. Unless she's nasty of course.

Speed dating looks SO awesome. Cause it's like "cool, I can go on a mini date with like 20 men tonight and can just buzz the ugly/emotionally needy ones out"
ive used speed date on facebook for shits and giggles

I think I'd use internet dating sites before resorting to this. (Of course, it may one day reach that point)

For some reason, I feel like that would be the typical crowd at a speed dating event anyway.

Ryan (GetWellBoss) and I were going to try this, but then he decided to be a bitch and get a girlfriend instead.

I guess I could always go back to Facebook stalking this girl I have everything in common with.

i think speed dating is perfect if you are a decent-looking, average person since given the general consensus on the kind of people who speed date (sif-y but without the secret internet part) you'd probably be the hottest person in the room, and when you have 30 seconds to meet someone i think it's all pretty much based on looks
id rather stick a fork up my ass.

Not denying that. Some of them are hot hicks, but anyone who listens to Taylor Swift and hugs their tanning bed is an instant boner kill for me.

I'd like to do this if I ever end up in a new city or big city. It seems like it draws people that are open for a new relationship and that want to shop around a bit. If you meet friends through friends you end up dealing with a lot of the same type of people and you dont get variety, and it probably beats the nightclub crowd. It's so hard to figure out whether a girl is dating or not interested at a concert or nightclub, but atleast at speed dating you share that one quality that is being open to a new relationship whether it be long or short. I bet the people there are REALLY REALLY nice too and eager to meet you as well.
