Anyone been to the ISNA matrimonial event at the convention? Wondering if it's worth registering and attending?

Going to the convention, not the matrimonial thing. It’s basically a speed dating event. The women stay seated, men get three minutes at each woman’s table to discuss whatever and move on to the next. Everybody gets a profile ahead of time so best to spend time not re-asking basic stuff that’s already on paper rather what’s not on it. There’s some time at the end to mingle, that’s when you exchange numbers with whoever you like, if they reject, you’re out of luck. Believe there’s also a dinner where people are encouraged to mingle.

I’ve never been but I hate even the sound of it. Feels like a cattle auction.

Idk I’m more of a slick suit guy. Can’t even remember the last time I wore a kurta. Maybe I’ll try uncle’s moves in the lobby at ISNA.

I haven't. But I have heard really good things.
