let me tell u something at 3 minutes per date with a total of 20 men it was hilarious to say the least. First off this place is an Irish Pub called the Wheeltapper Pub...somewhere adjacent to grand central...OK not bad with an Irish Pubby feel. I meet 2 of my partners in crime (C & K) and we are prepared for the...dates? if any of y'all have never gone 'speed dating' you sign up PAY $40 and commence to sitting at a table. Now the funny thing is C & I were the only persons of ethnic background so suffice it to say this was not out demographic...but hey in the spirit of not siting home alone we will just do it. the dating starts (dating is used in the loosest of terms here) as it is more like a fast pace 3 minute interview by multiple persons of varying degrees of sanity is more like it.
Well I met some interesting characters rather people whom are actively out in public on a daily basis AKA loose in society!! This one dude was like (after i asked what bought him out on a Saturday night 'cause i had to initiate conversation) responded "it was either this or staying home & masturbating" I mean WTF even if those were your options trust me when i tell ya i didn't need to know that.
Another character, who had the most obmoxious laugh on the planet said he was a pimp looking for some hoes, do I know any??? (seriously) NO, I replied, but i know someone who would slap him. (and they wonder why they are single..hell at this point i am beyond wondering why i am single as i swear them comments don't come out my mouth. maybe on paper..but never to no ones face)
There were a few gems in the group- a single dad who was taking care of his 2 kids (seemed OK) and the lone African American dude who had a sense of humor about the whole thing & genuinely seemed human enough to have a decent conversation with for 3 minutes. To even be there was eintirel a test of the sense of humor. [Side note, to complete the speed dating process one has to log back in and put in the dudes you were interested in to see if they 'match' you & then you get their email addy & then the rest is up to you and cupid & that little bit o'luck dude on the lotto commercials. Suffice it to say I matched no one- story of my life]
And finally there was this other dude who was Drunk. Really Drunk who just won a rugby tournament and decided to show up drunk to this event (cause who can pass up a winning team+ free drinks to celebrate+drinking on V-day). He was at least funny/honest and charismatic about the whole thing (maybe it was the booze).
Soo ladies out there just FYI speed dating was not for me,
but hey just like lotto you never know.
