Find Your Luvah – Speed Dating Event
Posted by Single City Guy in Single Life on January 15, 2010
Speed Dating is interesting and helpful. It provides the ability to meet attractive, single women; allows you to practice introducing yourself; and most importantly it can be a fun experience. I was recently informed about an interesting speed dating event happening in the NYC area.
Find Your Luvah, aiming to be the largest speed dating event in Guinness World History, is going to take place at the W Hoboken in New Jersey on January 29th, 2010. The event costs only $15 (a portion being given to the charity Women In Need), and an open bar. After reading the story behind the event, I had a few questions for the organizers of the event.

Learn to Ignore the Wrong Women
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating Topics on December 22, 2009
There’s an assumption that every women is potentially the right woman. Most of the literature, tell us guys that a 10 is the type woman we want. We take classes, find new clothing, learn how to approach these amazing 10‘s, only to end up with poor quality women. Instead of seeking the right woman for us, we are drawn to the bad girls: the bitches, the sluts, the gold diggers, and so on. We end up with poor quality women, because we set our sights on their looks and ignore the substance. Read the rest of this entry »
Speed Dating with 30-Somethings
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on December 22, 2009
Last week, I went to another unique speed dating event. It was an over 30 event where single 30-somethings searched for other single 30-somethings. I’m 28, not only the youngest in the room but not a 30-something either. Amber, from OnSpeedDating.com, invited me to this event (in part to the poorly attended Cougar Night) and reassured me that I would fit in with the crowd. Unlike the other events, I was surrounded by a group where I clearly did not fit in.
I’m reminded of a talk I had with Thomas Edwards about this very same subject. Many times I find myself as the odd-piece in a crowd of people. Either I’m the only minority in the room, or one of the youngest in the room. I’ve always seen this as a liability. Thomas made me see the glass half-full and use it as an advantage. I was unique, and my unique qualities would separate me from the other in the room. In essence, I was a unicorn. As a unicorn, I embraced my unique quality. I was younger than everyone in the room. I had to pair this with a lesson I was learning, presentation and how it was key. Read the rest of this entry »
Cougar Speed Dating
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on December 16, 2009
The mental image I had of a cougar wasn’t favorable at all. The phrase has such a vague meaning and negative connotation. I did a google search to ease my nerves and found a picture of the recently crowned Miss Cougar California. If the women at this event were going to look anything like her, it wouldn’t be so bad. Lets remember two things before I continue, first I live in New York City, second I live in New York City. NYC has beautiful, gorgeous women of all ages, they do maintain themselves very well. This city has some of the most gorgeous women ever. In actuality the cougars at the event were more like Stacy’s Mom or Stifler’s mom.
I’m not really fond of the term Cougar. While I’ve always been attracted to older women (as in women older than my current age), Cougar seems wrong. For the purposes of this post, we’re going to call them “older women.” Read the rest of this entry »
A Different Type Of Speed Dating
Posted by Single City Guy in Dating on December 15, 2009
I’ve always wanted to try speed dating. I wanted to see what it would be like, almost as a novelty event. All of my experiences with speed dating has been through stories told by other people, and it conjures very negative thoughts and awful stories. The real problem with speed dating is, how do you get to know someone in such a brief moments? What type of losers would attend a speed date? The truth is, in New York City, we’re always speed dating. Wether on the commute, at a coffee place, meeting a new coworker for the first time; there are a few brief moments to introduce yourself, make an impression and determine if you want to go out on a date with them. You don’t get to choose who you pick in these situations, you meet them under certain circumstances: they enjoy coffee, they take the L to work, they are in IT. So when I was approached by OnSpeedDating.com to review their services, not only did I get my opportunity to try speed dating for the first time, but I also had the opportunity to try a different type of speed dating, one that seemed to combine online-dating and real world scenarios into the taboo that is speed dating.
