    The word "professional" bugs me. Only ever seems to be an excuse to jack up prices and legally say "no scumbags".

    "Would suit a professional couple"- what, like two people who are together for work?

    Why are they giving you a tent and a glass of wine?

    Does everyone pitch their tent and sit inside and then get a glass of wine or do you arrive with your tent already pitched?

    Its all so confusing :confused:

    I think that speedshagging.ie may be more suitable for the hard-up.

    I didn't realise speed dating was so filled with the poor that the had to split it per earnings.
    Can't imagine walking into that.. Oooh I earn at least 40k Oooh I'm not going to talk to any of those 30k folk.

    €40k is a bit arbitrary to be honest why not something a little fairer like €25k - €80k?

    obviously you all got it wrong.

    it is a night for people who date professionally and are quiet sucessful at it and would like to meet similar types of people.

    Somehow I'd imagine they'll be less strict about the women's salaries than the men's. :rolleyes:


    Also - are they going to look for bank statements or what?
