Speed dating has become popular today, especially in NYC. SpeedDate definitely lives up to its name. It’s hard to keep up it’s so fast sometimes. It’s a cool concept, but does it really work? I did my research and I’m honestly not sure if it works or not. They do use a lot tactics that many scamming websites use. Things like sending automated messages. These can get confusing when there are multiple speed date windows popping up at once on your browser. You end up spending time on a user that turns out to be a mock user, resulting in the loss of opportunity to talk to a real persons. Finding real people on Speeddate takes extra effort, if there are any real ones in the first place.
My Official Speeddate Review Experience
This Speed dating site focuses on chat as the main objective and presents many questions to determine your matches. The main feature of SpeedDate are the 5-minute speed date sessions where you have that specific amount of time to choose and interact with different matches that pop up. The bad thing about this is that the users you’re chatting with might in fact be fake.
The first thing you must do is lower your expectations if you hope to talk to any real girls in the time that you have. You can click through several profiles at random or click on the those that SpeedDate suggests as matches for you. It seems like a great site feature at first. Being able to match you up with people who have common interests in great. However, I found that it didn’t really work all that effectively. I was skeptical when a lot of the potential dates that popped up did not fit my criteria. They appear to be much more random than the service wants you to believe. What I typically look for is someone looking to meet in person for sex. I don’t like to get too personal with them since I’m not looking for a wife or longterm girlfriend.
As you start using the site, you’ll notice that the speed dates start pouring. This happen the moment that you sign in to the site. You have no way to control how many come in at once, so you can never get it down to a manageable level. There is a pause feature on the site to keep the speed date windows from popping up so you can take a breath, but it never seems to work. The windows just keep coming. With the combination of computer generated messages and the sites main features not working properly, I suggest you move on to another dating site. There are much better sites out there that get real results.
Messaging
You don’t get messages at SpeedDate like you would on any traditional dating site if you don’t pay for a membership. If you don’t pay for a membership; the site chooses your matches for you and won’t let you send a chat request either. An animated woman pops up to interrupt you constantly and tries to get you to pay. Another way they take your money besides membership fees is making you pay a dollar a month to keep your profile verified and prove you are real. It’s just too much of a mess to trust it if you have to pay.
Phone Calls
If you are not really picky about who you interact with, you might actually get to the phone call stage when you use SpeedDate. The odds are in your favor because so many request come flying at you. The sad thing is that you never know which is real and which is not and you too often bark up the wrong tree by interacting with a fake person while the real ones move on.
First Meeting
If you have infinite patience, a lot of time and a lot of money; you could possibly reach a first meeting at SpeedDate but it’s not likely. There is just too much going on and you are put in a state of confusion each time you try to use the site. If they got it under control and stopped the fake profiles and computer generated communications, it might be a decent site to play around with.

FAQ
Is Speeddate.com Free?
Yes, it’s free to initially register for the site.
Does the Speeddate app for Android work as well as the iOS app?
I like to think that the Android app is just as stable and effective (if you call it that) as the iOS app. You’ll have to give it a shot yourself to truly determine if that’s the case. There are literally tons of hook up apps you can try if this one doesn’t suit your needs.
What questions should I ask?
Do you want me to go on the date for you too? Nope, not a chance buddy. Just ask whatever you think is appropriate to ask. Just remember that your limit on time is short.
Conclusion: Fake Messages And Profiles Make It Difficult To Recommend
Speeddate has a concept that seems like it’s going to be a great one until you try it for yourself. Actually trying it shows that it’s just a bunch of confusion with a lot of fake messages and profiles floating around. Some of the best features don’t even work. If this site hopes to be a viable one in the online dating industry, they are going to have to tighten up their features and get rid of the false communications.
