Icebrush79 4th Gear January 28, 2013 Share January 28, 2013 The largest scale matchmaking session is coming up this Sat... General comments about these singles session, the "candidates" are very average people at best, and quite a handful of them can be very weird and desperate. So for those who are going (but won't admit it openly anyway), pls manage your expectations, you won't see snow whites or prince charmings here. Go with an open mind.

IDrago 3rd Gear January 28, 2013 Share January 28, 2013 (edited) Can't answer your question of the "mystery shopper"... haha... as someone discerning, i'm sure you know where I'm coming from and thus the answer. Entertainment!! ah yes.... You get weird stuffs like 1) Weird ugly woman approaches man Woman: What's your purpose here Man: Err.... to widen my social circle Woman: Huh... not to get married arr!! err... okok, I'll go talk to others first.. but stay around.. I'll be back !!! blah blah blah... 2) Asked to introduce himself, ugly man with no conversational skills goes Ok.. my name is so and so Ok... I'm an engineer (example) Ok... I like to blah blah blah Ok.. I am this and that OK we all know, can you start your conversation with something else!!! - you get the picture 3) During a sit down speed dating, weird man starts playing with Wasabi and trying to "stand" a wooden chopstick using wasabi as glue.... as the women watched in horror. (man got offended by what woman said and decided to just switch off like a big kid... he was 45, mind you) 4) Setting: restaurant. Wait staff takes orders from a table where 2 sets of males and females are seated. After taking the drink order, (coincidentally green tea), the wait staff left... Man number 1 shouts across the restaurant to the wait staff... "The gree tea.. I want cold one arr... cold one arr" Come on!! its not a bloody coffee shop...!! 5) At the end of one session, a list (like a primary school kid's torn out exercise book) is passed around from someone to garner everyone's name, email and contact details... When asked who's paper is that.. the guy (looks old although he's only 35 (as if 48) and odd, ugly, funny looking) sheepishly puts up his hand like a lost kid and smile the Tiko smile. Come on... if you want someone's contacts, its common courtesy to ASK !! :angry: The list goes on Hahaha Edited January 28, 2013 by IDrago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin79 2nd Gear January 28, 2013 Share January 28, 2013 Well, take a look at the document I attached in my first post. Most of the men look like those featured in the article. These are your "OK" looking folks I reckon?? Mostly mediocre looking with humble backgrounds and financial status. This is a practical world and there's a reason why singles are pretty much single. Surely there must be some better ones right? i mean guys.... like some professionals who r curious and wanting to go? hahahaha my Gal frd is gg and this feedback i read here and giving her is making her thinking of backing out now... hahahahahahaha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icebrush79 4th Gear January 28, 2013 Author Share January 28, 2013 (edited) Surely there must be some better ones right? i mean guys.... like some professionals who r curious and wanting to go? hahahaha my Gal frd is gg and this feedback i read here and giving her is making her thinking of backing out now... hahahahahahaha Generally yes and no. For such low budget mass event, the chances of meeting an average one is like hoping to strike 4D. Noticed I meant average, not prince charming. Most are below average. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys, that's a fact of life. Then you have your upmarket packages catered for PMEBs... yes for those you have professionals and better quality ones of course. But generally, singles are singles for a reason. Best case, that's because they are too busy to date... so you get normal people here Worse case, they have issues eg : Guy that's doing pretty well, looks pretty decent... Went on date with Gal... and ends up telling her how she should live her life, what kind of movies suit her, what kind of clothes she should wear, you get the picture OR You get those that can't talk or carry out a conversation -> painfully shy and READ: BORING -> just like dating a wall. OR Those that tends to dominate the conversation People with qualities have others going after them.. yes, even girls going after guys, that's pretty common. OR, they have a wide enough social circle which then enables them to find potentials without resorting to this. People with no other choices will either sit in forum(s) surfing all day, or try their luck at these events lor... Is your friend average looking (or below) ?? Chances are, (no offense) yes... else there will be guys, like bees, sticking to her... we all see this too often dun we. And if its the case where she's just below average, I dun see why she should freak out... afterall, below averages match up with below averages... isn't it... Tell her to go with an open heart laa... who knows, she might find the guy trying to balance chopsticks on wasabi cute?? Just saying....

Chapter1_andy 1st Gear January 28, 2013 Share January 28, 2013 Ooh I see haha... Yes, boorish.... talks loudly (like most SAF specs and WOs) without the slightest clue how to behave in front of the opposite gender.... It's hilarious! It reminds me of when I was watching this Channel 8 show, where they matchmake 3 men versus 3 women, and the highest ranking person gets to choose his/her ideal partner. I ever saw a 45 year old CFO that was like...he treat matchmaking like working, and was literally pushing ard his weight. OMG! He'll never find his dream lady like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll never find his dream lady like that Mate... it is even more sidesplitting to catch this action "life" .... Just to add on, many of these singles have been to almost all these events.... To the extent they can be heard whispering among themselves (ooh.. that man, he was here the last 5 times) or (oooh than woman... wasn't she here a few times already)... These are so called dating event regulars.... READ: the desperados Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
