Rough Ride at the Indian Speed dating event

[Thor]

Attended a speed dating even over the weekend in some bar in London. Which turned into a bit of disaster. The event was an indian social event for professional asian men and women. Women who turned up were extremely picky one girl who I spoke to in her 30's told me she had been coming to these events for nearly 4 years now but still hadnt found the right guy . She asked me whether I was punjabi I told her no. She then replied well theres no point in us talking blimey me thinks

I was dressed in a collared shirt and trousers alot of guys turned up in designer suits and limited edition shoes.

I approached one rather stunning looking girl in her late 20's and introduced myself with a smile. She gave me a nasty look, turned and walked away from me.

The second girl I approached began asking me what car I drove and what my profession was. After a few minutes the conversation died a death and I decided to move on. I was thinking what the fuck is wrong with this woman (later I thought well at least she was honest with the kind of guy she wanted).


The 3rd girl I approached looked like a real cutie. The minute she started making fun of the guys with indian accents who had turned up at the event. I walked away thinking jezuzz your parents are from india what the fuck is wrong with you girl. Should I make fun of your parents who have indian accents ?.

That was the final straw for me. I decided to sit back chillout and enjoy my JD in coke in peace. I struck up a conversation with one of the guys from india. He was well upset poor guy. Kept on going on about how bitchy the women are here.

After the finishing my drink I decided to go home and watch a movie.

These women can spend the rest of thier lives playing with their vibrators I dont give a toss.

Why would you go in the first place to a speed dating event??

Wanted to try something different. Another way to meet women other then on the street and in coffee shops.

I've actually considered doing it too, just for fun and too see first hand how is it. But at the end it's always too much work and I can meet girls without going to speed dating, so in the end I always pass.

The fact is I have the impression that there's little to no chance to find anything worth there, my feeling is "what kind of girl would come to a place like this to meet men", the ones who can't find it any other way. I know that's probably a little biased, hence the curiosity, but overall I still have the feeling I'm right.

I tried speed dating once. There was only one woman in the room I found physically attractive, and she turned out to be boring and rude (I saw get up to use the bathroom during one of her speed dates, and turn her back on another guy and play with her phone). Some of the women seemed like cool people but nobody I was into physically. The guys were for the most part outrageously awkward.

Good for trying something new Thor, but imho speed dating (and singles events generally) are not really effective ways to meet women, as it sounds like you discovered. In my opinion the best ways to meet women are:

1) social circle
2) cold approach at a venue that plays to your interests
3) cold approach in a random social setting like a bar or cafe
4) online dating.

Post school, I think that's about it.

Yes first time last time never again will I go to those events
