Speed Dating Questions
This is an interesting finding by scientist, on the subject of Speed Dating. Speed dating is a formalized matchmaking process or dating system where all daters spend a pre-determined block of time with other perspective daters.
The scientist found in this Speed Dating study that guys typically have 30 seconds to impress a woman. I would have to say you probably have more like 5 seconds. They also mentioned pick-up lines played a big part in the process. I personally believe that pick-up lines are crap. When using a pick-up line you are pre-supposing that you are not confident and you have nothing witty to say. I think you should become comfortable enough to speak to a beautiful woman just as you would your best friend. Do you use pick-up lines to chat-up your best friend? I certainly hope not.
I believe it is not what you say in meeting a member of the opposite sex. It is how you say it. Are you confident? Do you make eye contact? Do you have correct posture? Are you confident in social situations? These non-verbal clues radiate volumes to women. Women are masters at reading character and body language.
It is ok to be a little shy. You can even mention that. “Hi, I am little shy when I first meet people, but I just had to see what you were like.” This will get you much further than some cheesy ass pick-up line you heard from your dad.
Since this is Speed Dating, you should have a couple questions you can default too. Make sure these are interesting subjects which women like to talk about. If you do not know what women find interesting to talk about, ask other women in your life.
Speed Dating Questions & Study
By IAN JOHNSTON, SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT
HALF of all women make their minds up within 30 seconds of meeting a man about whether he is potential boyfriend material, according to a study on speed-dating.
The women were on average far quicker at making a decision than the men during some 500 speed dates at an event organized as part of Edinburgh Science Festival.
The scientists behind the research said this showed just how important chat-up lines were in dating. They found that those who were “highly skilled in seduction” used chat-up lines that encouraged their dates to talk about themselves in “an unusual, quirky way”.
The top-rated male’s best line was “If you were on Stars In Their Eyes, who would you be?”, while the top-rated female asked bizarrely: “What’s your favorite pizza topping?”
Failed Casanovas were those who offered up hackneyed comments like “Do you come here often?”, or clumsy attempts to impress, such as “I have a PhD in computing”.
About a third of the speed dates were actually over within the first 30 seconds, but there was a marked difference between the sexes with 45 per cent of women coming to a decision within 30 seconds, compared with only 22 per cent of men.
Professor Richard Wiseman, of Hertfordshire University, is quoted: “Men are often accused of being shallow and judging women very quickly.”
However, this evidence suggests that women may make up their minds much quicker than men. It suggests men have only a few seconds to impress a woman, thus emphasizing the importance of their opening comments.”
The study also found that women were twice as picky as the men.
However, both the top-rated man and woman of the evening had a 100 per cent success rate, with every one of their dates wanting to meet them again.
Conversation topics were also assessed. Only 9 per cent of pairs who talked about films agreed to meet again, compared with 18 per cent who spoke about the subject found to be the most suitable for dating: travel.
It is thought women’s taste for musicals clashed with the male liking for action films, while talking about “great holidays and dream destinations” made people feel good and appear more attractive to each other.
A total of 70 pairs of people agreed to meet again and they will be tracked over the next few months to see how they get on.
“If there were ten of them together (in three months), I would be amazed, but maybe we’ll get a wedding out of it. That would be nice,” Prof Wiseman said.
