A Rambling Argument about Speed Dating
1. Speed Dating is (SpeedDating is a trademark) , by framework, an opportunity for guys and gals who, for some reason or other, are not going out on dates. This group can then be called: “People Who Don’t Go Out on Dates for Some Reason or Another”.
2. With this, Speed Dating becomes a dynamic attractor for these same guys and gals, hovering for a shot to meet “The One” or at least meet someone new.
3. Speed Dating is managed within a controlled group. From what I’ve read locally, Each Speed Dating event consists of, on the average, 25 pairs of men and women, 50 in all.
4. Thus we have an event filtered to 25 girls and 25 guys, coming from the select set called “People Who Don’t Go Out on Dates for Some Reason or Another.”
5. Thus. we have a sample set that was filtered two times, at least.
6. Each of us have at least three select criteria (I have four) of “The One”.
7. For me, I’d go google-eyed over a girl who is: 1. Witty, 2. Cute, 3. Cute whatever the donkers she does, and 4. Likes children.
8. In all probability, all of these criteria will be considered positive traits by any random person.
9. Since they are positive traits, the more of these you have, the better the chances that you can get a date on a “normal” situation (a.k.a. not Speed Dating).
10. The less of these positive traits, the lesser the chances that you get a date on a “normal” situation.
11. People who don’t go out on dates for some reason or another don’t usually get dates on a “normal” situation.
12. Thus we have 4 positive criteria (witty, cute, cute whatever the donkers she does, likes children) and 2 filter criteria (geographic location, “doesn’t want to go out on dates normally”) which are more probable not to intersect.
13. “People Who Don’t Go Out on Dates for Some Reason or Another” try Speed Dating.
14. Thus, in a Speed Dating event, you have a filtered down sample space of “People Who Don’t Go Out on Dates for Some Reason or Another” and who don’t usually get dates on a “normal” situation.
15. This is why Speed Dating can’t seem to get off here in the Philippines.
(of course, some of the causality assumptions are suspect - especially 10 and 12 - but I’m talking about probabilities here and not absolutes. Unless you will be holding the Speed Dating Event at a subdivision full of models with engineering degrees, or preschool teachers with Ph.D’s in Math then it’s a good rough assumption that the intersections still hold thin. But this is only my take on it, what’s yours?)
