The Benefits of Jewish Speed Dating
Invented by an innovative dating service entrepreneur, Jewish
speed dating has become a phenomenon in the singles world. It
takes careful coordination, a large member base in the immediate
and surrounding area and a lot of work on the part of the dating
service to pull it off and make it successful.
Essentially what happens is this: the dating service contacts a
large number of its members in one major metropolitan area and
invites them to a social event. For a modest fee they are
guaranteed that there will be many members there of the opposite
sex that they will be able to interact with during the event.
The work involved has to do with getting a fairly equal amount
of single men and women together at the same time and place and
with a high probability of being compatible. Then, after a short
pre-event socialization time, the Jewish speed dating begins. At
the sound of a whistle, a gong or some sort of noisemaker, all
of the women will sit down at prearranged chairs and tables in a
very large room. Then the male members will take seats opposite
the ladies. Once seated, the noisemaker will be pressed into
action and the two single, Jewish people will have a fixed
amount of time, usually two or three minutes, to talk to each
other and introduce themselves.
After the fixed amount of time, the noisemaker will sound and
the men will get up, move over one table to their left, sit down
and the entire process repeats until everyone has had a chance
to sit in front of and introduce themselves to everyone else. It
may sound silly but when the dating service is specific enough
and talented enough in inviting the right people to the event,
after talking to 50 women there is usually a mutual interest
from at least a few. When the dating service specializes in
Jewish speed dating, they invite people of similar ages and
profiles to interact with each other and overall the events are
very successful in making matches.
