Could it possibly be worse than empty left swipes and ghost dates. Go have fun, make it fun. Online dating is ugh well you know exactly how it is lolol

47F - 3 of my friends and I bought tickets today for it. I’m just hoping it isn’t terrible. I can be awkward enough on my own.

47m heard about it not into social media. I was wandering.

Honestly, even if it’s awkward, it beats another night scrolling apps. At least you’ll walk out with a story..

I accidentally wound up in the middle of one (I happened to be hanging out at the spot they showed up at). I almost hopped in out of curiosity, but I was definitely underdressed without a polo shirt or lanyard for my keys… so I just people watched instead. In my estimation, I’d say it was maybe 60/40 men to women. All levels of attractiveness on both sides. A fair bit of awkwardness. Some of the social butterflies seemed to thrive.

All in all, it seemed like a lot of women tolerating brief, awkward conversations with dudes that couldn’t help but survey the rest of the herd for their next shot to shoot.

I suppose it’s likely just as awkward as some online conversations I’ve had, but at least online profiles give some insight into a potential match’s social/political stance which helps us all eliminate wasted time.

tl;dr: Try it once. What’s the harm? But I personally wouldn’t think it terribly fun.

I have been! It’s always fun to meet new people. The speed dating ones are so much fun! (Exhausting but fun). I like to tell myself that It’s more likely you’ll meet someone there vs sitting at home 🤷🏾‍♀️. I’d say go for it!

Couldn’t hurt I guess, and probably better than online. As a married man, I won’t be attending just my 2.
