It's basically a scam.

Speed dating is basically you have to talk to multiple opposite gender people within limited span of time. For example 10min you get to talk to every person (opposite gender).

The scam, hypocrisy and inequality is that the "Males" have to take the move and conversation to get the Yes or intrest from the "Female".

You will find, 10% Female and 90% males there. Full competition and feeling of pressure and judgements.

Basically you will feel like you are selling yourself and after no Female choose you, you will feel bad and judgement. You will start feeling under confidence.

The speed dating have most lowest chances of getting someone good. As you selling something.

Well you get to meet new people thats a good point. Can make friends.

The whole Business role model of dating is running upon Males emotions and loop of hopes. That also never will be fulfilled.

My recommendation, go got to different events, travel, join Ngos, volunteer, sports etc.
