TLGC: Field Test Report: Speed Dating
theLaw Wrote:Women Date for Sport, Men Have Sex for Sport
My friend, Miss Hamby, thought it would a hilarious beginning, to our evening out together, if we both went to a local speed dating event. I'd never been to anything like this before and didn't know what to expect. Honestly, I felt their mechanics were a bit clunky, but otherwise it was pretty much what i had expected. Details will be in my journal, but here I'll concentrate on how TLGC performed in such an environment.
Of course, one must understand that in such an event, the 'difficult' part for some guys, actually approaching her and getting her attention and interest, is already taken care of.
It was 20 women and 20 guys. The women all remained at their tables while the guys rotated from seat to seat. We all had name tags (I wanted write down Inigo Montoya, or Norman Bates, but went with my name) with our number on them and little check sheets that were Yes/ NO / share my contact info. if we're a match. The ladies all had little notepads to make notes with, if they wanted; and we all had those miniature #2 pencils like one sees at the putt-putt golf courses.
Myself, I concentrated on just being different and having fun. I figured if I could pique their humor or interest (through emotionally appealing questions rather than the same boring stuff they'd been asked already 20 times) that some sort of connection could be fostered quickly. I've seen TLG work its magic in a few minutes, so this was prime for me.
Overall TLGC worked out pretty great (Homme scent, by the way). I'd sit and give them a smile/ facial expression plus body language that seemed to be fitting for their body language and open with a complimentary type leading question that begged an emotional response.
Once they (most of them) got over the shock of not being asked a typical question, the ladies would usually smile, laugh, or otherwise get deeply involved in the conversation.
Usually after about 3 minutes or so they began leaning in real close, touching me, motor-mouthing, and oftimes ex-mate-bashing. About half the ladies took any tenuous bit of innuendo (and yes I was throwing it out there intentionally to see what happens....SCIENCE!) and start going right into sexual talk. I was told by one that while she enjoys dating, she's disappointed that most of the guys just don't get her hot and that can see that I know what women really want.
One lady wrote down her number and gave it to me. Another one kissed me in the middle of our 'date'. A few more hugged me or proclaimed that they hoped we'd match up.
While I could go blow-by-blow with the ladies that stood out, it was typical love god effects with fast and hard sexual auto-escalation. I initially thought that about 75% of the ladies were into me, but I was over confident.
When it was all over and done, I had 10 likes (counting Hamby) and 5 of the ladies that were into me matched up with ladies that I might have liked to meet up with. All 5 of them ticked the box for the event to provide me with their cell-phone number or email address (preferred 'safe' method of contact).
I honestly don't know how to evaluate this for TLGC, as I've never done this before. I don't know the meat-market law of averages, but I assume 25% match up is pretty decent...hell, it might be miserable and I'm just too full of myself to note otherwise. Hamby, who thought it was a riot of fun to write down JESSICA for her name, got 75% likes, and every guy that she thought she might like had their 'give her my information' boxes ticked off for her.
My overall impression of TLGC versus TLG is that one needs to work a bit harder for the initial connection, and it doesn't give off so much of the "perfect man for me, and I want him" vibe as it does a "I want him now, he might be good for me too" vibe. However, once one gets that initial 'wow' impact going the ladies push it hard to the sexual by comparison.
If finally managed to get my fun and flirty vibe with TLGC. I assume that it was because I had zero investment in the event. I wasn't planning on contacting any of these ladies, knew I was spending the evening with vibrant and complicated miraculous woman; so I just played around and had fun. After the first 'date' where I was getting my pacing down, things just flowed naturally. Overall there was sexual tension, and I think it helped quite a good bit as others were trying to impress the ladies; I found that with me they were trying to protract the engagement, keep the banter flowing, and slipping in their own innuendo.
I feel like this was a good trial to see how TLGC can facilitate initial bonding and escalation after the meeting; but due to the situation there was no way to test the opening and initial get them interested part. Overall, I had a blast and it was the perfect blend for the situation. but take all of that with a grain of salt, as I was "dating for sport" and concentrating on being light, fun, and decidedly different. Your mileage may vary.
