If your going with a few other people just for the craic, then i'd say it would be fun. If you hope to find someone at them, then i wouldn't bother, they'd be either full of people there to take the piss, or a pile of disparate people willing to settle for anybody.

smileysurfer · 29-06-2009 8:28pm

definitely not looking to find someone at it.. just thinking of going for the craic

Speed Dating? I'd be better off speed... skating.

Your very interested for someone going for a laugh, or are you really 38 and on your last ovary?

Sea Sharp · 29-06-2009 8:52pm

That's just my opinion.
I think it's the equivalent to walking up to random women in the smoking area of a pub and trying to chat them up. So just do that instead.

Went for the laugh. IMO, if you have the balls to go up to random people, you don't need to go speed dating. The one I went to had a high percentage of nurses. No luck, but meh, I had gone for the "hadn't done this before" fun of it.

Excellent! Just seen that episode last night:D

dsmythy · 29-06-2009 11:37pm

I wouldn't bother if you're going in a serious manner since everyone else who goes is going purely for the laugh.

Make sure you're drunk for it, everyone else will be.

What if nobody at speed-dating was interested in you? Wouldn't that be really depressing. I mean in general, not directed at OP.

I wouldn't like speed dating, I'd find it exhausting, having to chat, make small talk, constantly for a few hours. Too much like work for me.

At least you get it all over and done with in one evening. If you think about it, spending 2 hours of small talk with 20 womens in one evening is better than 20 evenings of small talking individual women for 2 hours each.

haha far from it! mid twenties and just out of a 2 year relationship so just want a night of distraction and laughing! Have no intention of taking the evening anyway seriously.
A group of us were chatting and it came up, half of us have partners and are just wanting to go for the laugh! ( partners are aware)

Thats exactly what we are thinking of going for. something new for a night out! a bit of craic!! :P

Not really fair on the other people going who, while may not be taking it completely serious, are putting a bit of heart in to it. As long as you don't lead anyone on I guess. But going in to it knowing that you are just there to take the piss out of the whole thing is a bit mean on the others imo.

smileysurfer · 30-06-2009 11:27am

from what iv gotten from this thread already I get the feeling people just go for the laugh.

I have no intention of leading anyone on at all!

If anyone does have an interest in me then I can politely refuse anyway.

AnonoBoy · 30-06-2009 11:44am

Just ask the women are they into pints or cinema or wha?

Hrududu · 30-06-2009 11:45am

If you have no interest and are just going for the laugh then it seems a bit pointless.

Maybe I should clarify.
im not going with the intention of finding anyone.
Im thinking of going as it is a brand new experience and Im interested to see how it goes. Im not taking it too seriously.
So here in basically looking for peoples past experiences and thoughts on the whole speed dating thing?

I suppose that's a fair point!

A lot of people go to have a bit light-hearted fun and just to see what it's like!

I was going to go with some friends before, but the price and the thought of leading desperate people on put me off! - didn't want to upset anyone!

I wanted to go just out of curiousity ... see if the people there are as bad as people make them out to be, and what the whole process is like.

Dave! · 30-06-2009 1:54pm

I wouldn't mind doin it, but is it full of women in relationships just goin for a laugh?

I woulda thought that'd defeat the purpose. Damn c*ck teasers.

It's just a bit of fun, worst case scenario you meet some creepy/awful people but you'll probably get an interesting story out of it, best case scenario you meet someone nice and it turns out they have loose morals and open minded friends....

not that i've been mind, i'm just piecing this together from other peoples stories.
But I think it'd be best to go with a few people you know, if for no other reason you can swap tales afterwards.

"Going for a laugh" is the cloak of disaffectation and glib indifference used to shield themselves from the social catastrophe that would be people thinking youre desperate to meet someone.

"Going for a laugh" = "Yeah, I mean, sure, I'd like to meet someone, so yeah, Ill give it a go, but hey, Im not as sad and desperate as these other saddos, Oh no! Im chic and debonnair and only doing this cos its a bit of a laugh and Desperate Housewives has finished *oh I hope I meet someone nice, I hope I meet someone nice*"

Attached women going is gtfo tbh.

No we are really just thinking of going for something different and to have fun!
Maybe you should try it!
no need to read too much into it!
