[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I went to one years ago (mid 20s). Granted I went to (a) support a friend and (b) figure out whether the grass was greener as I had a long-term bf who was dragging his heels, so those shaped my experience.[/b] Eveyone seemed around my age, so you’d want to screen for that. My go to question was “what have you enjoyed reading recently”. When they couldn’t answer that I switched to “what do you enjoy reading, watching, or listening to?” And when they couldn’t answer that I switched to “what’s something you enjoy?” I got very few responses and (as an introvert who enjoys talking with new people) found the whole thing profoundly strange.

Exact same thing -- it was ages ago and I went to support a work friend, who asked me to go and then got all anxious about it because I'm super attractive and outgoing and she isn't. She needn't have been worried, I think she matched more men than I did. I just remember the whole thing being super awkward and there was literally no one I truly wanted to go out with. And all that smiling and super-friendly small talk with people you know you have no interest in is exhausting. Most of the men were in the 5/10 or 6/10 range. A lot of professional women (my friend and I are lawyers). I think the age of the women skewed slightly higher than the age of the men, and I think the earning power of the women skewed slightly higher than that of the men as well. And I think a lot of the men weren't necessarily wanting high-powered women. I think I wrote down a few people as "matches" because I felt like I had to, but then I think I only matched with one, which means only one of them had picked me. I didn't go out with the guy I "matched" with -- he was a 5 and I was an 8 or so (in my mind, anyway, lol). [/quote]
