Although there is the clear advantage of meeting about a million people in twenty minutes and some special person might stand out and ignite a lost spark in your soul and set off fireworks, face it, the likelihood of you meeting your bashert there is pretty slim.
The whole premise of speed dating is "Express exactly who you are in 60 seconds in a way that will make people remember you and want to spend more time with you."
That's nice. But unless you are drop dead gorgeous, are extremely tall/short, have a ridiculous accent, are mentally retarded, or extremely inappropriate, no one is going to remember who you are five minutes from now.
And besides, it is quite awkward.
Hi, my name is Tania. Hi, my name is Tania. Yes, hi, my name is still Tania.
Most people out there are not drop dead gorgeous, because if they were, people would be dropping dead all the time.
Most people out there aren't brilliant, because if they were, then brilliant would be the new average.
Most people need more of a chance than a sixty second introduction.
Unless you are desperate, don't go.
