Is speed dating actually worth it, and which dating apps feel genuine?

[blackeagle007]

Why not try speed dating? It can’t hurt. Anyone here tried it? What’s your experience?

Also, dating apps. If you met your partner on there, which one? Just wondering which apps have more real than bots.

A woman commits based on her level of personal involvement with you and this is why men who try to find love through recreational dating events expire more time in pursuit of women then men who meet women naturally. Since she has known you less than 3 minutes, she can forget you in less than 3 minutes. She will also compare you to 20 other men.

Apparently they are dying off in the same way clubs are with not many men attending and with the women having higher standards than the men attending.

That might just be an internet meme that's been beaten up.

I think partner dancing venues are better value because

1. There is a culture of men and women being nice to each other because if you want to dance with the opposite gender you have to be nice to them

2. There is a non sexual reason why you are interacting, so it is not such a pressure cooker environment

3. You get to meet every member of the opposite gender during the class portion of the evening.

4. You get to learn a new skill which women like.

5. Worst case is you have fun.

Not worth it when you have thousands of potential dates right outside your front door. All you need is the motivation.

It might be for some. I tried it once and didn't really get into it.
