Last night, I stopped by Posh’s Karaoke Night out of sheer randomness, and funnily enough, something random happened. As I said hello to the folks I know who run the event, I discovered that there was speed dating going on in the upstairs area of the club. I’ve wanted to try speed dating ever since seeing “The 40 Year Old Virgin.” The craziness in that scene made speed dating sound right up my alley!
I must say, speed dating gave me absolutely NO comedic material whatsoever. Everyone that I sat down with was pretty much well-adjusted and normal. As a matter of fact, I was the one that with the most obvious character flaws, considering I was pretty drunk at that point in the evening. I simply relied on my jokes, and my open admission that I had no idea I’d be speed dating until one of the hosts of the event asked me to participate.
I was hoping there would have been a good story coming from it, like a woman with a tattoo of Lil’ Wayne on her breast, but no dice. I think I should start my own speed dating event for the site, but with a twist. Maybe “Speed Dating for the Inherently Flawed” or “Speed Dating for Easy People(a.k.a. I F*ck On The First Date).
Actually, scratch that 2nd suggestion. DC’s AIDS rate is high enough as it is. No need to knowingly put a roomful of non-selective f*ckers together and add to the negative statistics. I’ll keep working on that speed dating thing, and get back to you when I come up with a good idea.

I saw that on meetup.com but i was like do i really wanna go on that many mini interviews. I don’t do small talk…so tell me about yourself makes me cringe!
Why don’t they ever have a speed dating where the guys sit still and the women move all around?
Hows about blind-folded speed dating, or speed dating where the participants have a button under the table that when depressed dropped the other party through the floor and into a big vat of chitlins; or naked speed dating(!), or slow-motion speed dating?!
Speed dating . . . speed relationships, speed marriage, speed divorce. I like it. We’re single and back in the real world by the time we’re 24 years old.
I’ve been meaning to try it. But i’d have to make it outside my house first.
I, and a girlfriend, tried it a few years back. If not for the vodka I would have been bored. None of the men were my type. She, on the other hand, met a guy and they started dating. They got married 2 years later, and another year later she is pregnant. The baby is due next month.
Don’t knock it!
as if regular dating isnt bad enough (for those who do it anyway)
now u gotta speed up the process even more? are people really DAT busy dat they can’t take the time to get to know each other before they get to “know” each other??
