[#9773356]

as STW is my go to place for advise, i thought it'd be good to ask you all for some ideas for speed dating.

I'm attending an event later in week, 4 minute per lady.

I'm a natter box and go down war and peace route.

How can i shine within 4 minutes without interrogating the poor women?

I can't rely on my good looks cos I ain't got any...

That’s a lot of foreplay.

If her name's Louise, move on.

Just lick your eyebrows then wink at her.

Ask them if they do car finance?

Ask them about themselves rather than talk about yourself.

Next?

60% of the time, being the strong silent type works everytime.

Smile, ask them about themselves but make sure you say something about you as well. Avoid wearing beige 😀

Best advice has already been given. Ask about them? Alternatively just rant about your ex

Handy advice for those with long tongues. I presume demonstrating ownership of a long tongue is a guaranteed way of pulling?

Just say “how’s about that then” whilst puffing on a massive cigar.

Worst advice I ever heard was a woman at work advising a single bloke to 'just be yourself' He was a little upset when I told him, 'don't do that, you are an idiot, be George Clooney.' You could try that.

If she can't fill 4 minutes with talking about herself then is she really female? Bonus if you get a vegan. You won't even have time to say hello.

Just make sure you say, "Every day to me is christmas day".

I suppose that's an improvement on just coming once a year.

The other thing you could do, of course, is lie transparently and outrageously. What have you got to lose?

A mate of mine and I once did this on holiday in Glastonbury with a girl who'd latched on to us and we were trying to get rid of. We told ever more outrageous tales of international incidents and derring do. It culminated with us telling her we worked doing secret missions for the European Space Agency. She invited us back to her place. We said we would, but we'd have to contact our team to install emergency panic buttons in her house first. She agreed. We stepped outside to "make a phone call" and ran for the hills.

Wear a T-Shirt with "This is what a Feminist looks like" on it.
Or your Newcastle shirt, with "Ginola" on the back.
Be playful. Say things like, "Some people call me a Psychopath, but I prefer the term Serial Killer".

Only if you can breathe through your ears.

Start with. "Who's looking after the countries kitchens while all you chicks are here?"
Or, "So... How long have you been a female impersonator for?"

Then just go with the flow.

Dress in a suit, take a pen and clipboard and pretend your conducting a job interview.

Joking aside, let the lady do most of the talking.

I'm guessing a lot of men just want to talk about themselves and not much else.

Be original, mock the situation if your a good joker. It is a funny diffusion to be in and the women will think the same. If you can get a woman laugh it's a good start.

Be enthusiastic even with the ones you instantly don't click with. Good training for the next and its the decent thing to do anyway.

Good luck bud! 🙂

Pay her a compliment, just make sure it’s not ‘nice tits’

This

And

Ask them about themselves rather than talk about yourself.

Be interested in what they have to say and try and figure out what their thing is, eg I can see you have great taste in shoes, or you seem very artistic.

Hi, I'm just off a three hour turbo training session in prep for a 200k gravel ride in April, if you want to get with me you need to be cool but importantly enjoy me cycling too. (Whilst fiddling with the sore that has came up on your gooch

This raises a good point. Try to avoid mansplaining jokes to her. You'll look like a d1ck.

Wear a gold paperclip on your lapel and some orthopaedic shoes.

Take smelling salts to revive her when she swoons.

Then if you get something wrong you can say "well, I stand corrected."

Depends where it is being held, but probably a fair few of the attendees will be in the nearest bar just beforehand. Why not go in and have a more relaxed chat with a few of them??

Make it a doubly awkward 4 mins?

Surely if you can go to a bar and chat to women then the speed dating thing is kind of unnecessary

What if the only good thing about her is her tits?
