Love can't be found the fast way...

Well, maybe it can be - but I don't believe it.

Thing is, you can go to the most high class, plush speed dating event. Or you could go to the one at the 'Randy Dog n Dirty Duck' bar in the worst part of Sheffield.

YOu have 3 minutes to impress.

So it all boils down to looks/instant attaction.

So if your pug ugly, you aint got a prayer. If the opposite sex fancy your pants off, you will get ticks off each dater

well it all depends on the other person, surely people do not only go for sex and actually want to know someone first

How can you know someone in a few minutes?

People go for one reason.. If they don't, they're probably crazy. Either way, it's not good.

beauty is skin deep in my book, but there has to be some attraction as well, but i am not that shallow either so skin thin legs 11 will not always cut the mustard

Never trust men with short legs. Brains too near their bottoms.

Oh dear!

That's so true though, short men are always up to something!

Whats shocking about it Miss Creant?

Think about it.

YOu are a woman at a speed dating event

..... bloke number 1, if 6ft tall, fireman, body to die for, good dress sense

.....Bloke number 2, 5ft 2, little tubby man, wearing a shirt that doesn't fit him properly, has a large mole with hairs sticking out on his chin and has bad breath

So who will you tick?

Did you mean, pretty soon after (the sex) you'll have to start talking to them? Made me smile, either way!

I'm glad this wasn't around in my youth, it seems so shallow, mechanical almost.
Give me good old courting any day.

Why waste time speed dating? You can pick up other desperate women/men at night clubs/bars around the city within seconds.
