Has anyone done a speed dating event as a guy? If so what was your experience? There's one in Atlanta next week hosted by In The Wild Dating (run by someone who was on the bachelor) that I signed up for. The women's tickets sold out almost immediately while there are still a few men's tickets left.

The ration of these dating events are outrageously skewed. Contrary to women, a lot of men have checked out of the dating scene and rather be alone so these events tend to have heavy women participation. I was invited to one once, and it was ~ 90% women and 10% men. The organizers said that was the trend across many other single events as well, and that they are trying to find ways to get men more interested.

So my advice to you, is go check it out, you'll have plenty of options and you never know, you might meet the one there.

D1, I think that’s the question that should be explored in this bowl: why do you believe a lot of men have checked out of the dating scene and would rather be alone? I wonder how many women on average have these men been with and what has been their experience? What was the ultimate turn off?

From a woman’s perspective- I’ve attended a few of this in Chicago. There are definitely more women than men, so if you’re a normal dude, you should have good luck at the event. One I went to, all the guys were dressed in ratty t shirts and dirty jeans; trying to talk to them was like trying to talk to a wall- they were all just giving one word answers. Talked to multiple other women at the event with the same experience, so it’s not me 🤣

Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

Does your salary band change if interviewing for a purely remote role? They pay should be based on my location, not the company's, right?
