I don't buy the "speed dating has less men than women" thing for a second unless they're talking about the 45+ bracket.

In fact I just checked a local speed dating event and the male tickets were sold out and the female ones had a 2 for 1 promo lol

Doesn't that reinforce that there are more men there than women? That would tell me that they are full on men, but desperately trying to sell tickets to women to get them to show up.

Yes, totally. I used too many negatives in my first sentence and literally said the opposite of what I meant.

I do think my clear opposition to that the OP said should indicate what my sentiment was though.

They're likely describing the 45+ group which they mentioned being the exception.

Wait did you just contradict yourself in two sentences? Or are you saying you checked for 45+, where it seems to be true but think it's not for other ages?

It was a sub 35 event

Also I misspoke and corrected it.

Typically for seniors dating events the women's tickets will sell out first and in younger dating events the men's will first.
