Speed dating is a social event or matchmaking process designed to facilitate meetings between potential romantic partners. It is usually hosted by a company or individual, and involves a group of participants who rotate through a series of short, timed conversations with each other.
Speed dating has become very popular. Several companies now run their own speed dating events in major cities. The idea is that those who have registered enter the event with a focus on personality rather than physical attractiveness.
Most of the time, it’s a blind date, and you choose people based on your likes and comparable choices.
Another similar meeting will take place soon in Bangalore. What has surprised people is the huge price disparity between the male and female tickets.

Ansh Agarwal, a Twitter user, described how the male entrant is required to pay Rs 1499 to attend the event. Female participants, on the other hand, can enter the event for as little as Rs. 99
Tickets can be purchased through Book My Show, and the event description reads, “Tired of swiping and texting? Come on over to our social mixer to meet potential dates and friends in person. We created this event to foster intimacy among carefully selected attendees, resulting in friendship, passion, and even marriage.”
He goes on to say that the event will include “fun” icebreakers and speed dating games to encourage mindful conversations and deep relationships.
The viral tweet sparked a debate among netizens. This is what people wrote.
It makes sense doesn’t it? Clearly, the gender ratio would be skewed. Similar to the entrance scene in the clubs.

Have you ever heard? When it’s free/cheap, you are the product. Now that equality BS won’t look so appealing right? The only winner in this game is the owner of the pub. Poachers, throw some meat to catch the animals. Now, use your 🧠

The ticket price shows that this event is organized for gareeb women. The government is already giving gifts to gareeb women. Therefore, men should avoid participating in such events. The government is already helping them cope. https://t.co/56v9TMl0qY

It reminds me of this ‘Whats in a Name’ pub in Koramangala which was meant to welcome (not entice) women to visit by saying ‘free drinks and free money’. Me: Wow, can you be more offensive? Me too: Why isn’t anyone offering free food? Why should I drink? Get me some Nachos on the house https://t.co/fwGHRdX5F1

Do you know that speed dating has been around since the 1990s?
Speed dating, as a formalized matchmaking process, emerged in the late 1990s. The concept was developed by Rabbi Yaacov Deyo and his wife, Sue, in Los Angeles, California. They were looking for a way to help Jewish singles meet and connect more efficiently. The first speed dating event took place in 1998 in a Beverly Hills cafe.
The idea behind speed dating was to create a structured and time-efficient way for singles to meet a large number of potential partners in a short amount of time. Participants rotated from table to table, engaging in brief conversations that typically lasted around five minutes. After each interaction, people would note their interest in the other person, and if there was a mutual interest, contact information would be exchanged.
In recent years, online speed dating platforms have also emerged, allowing people to participate in virtual speed dating events from the comfort of their own homes. This adaptation has further expanded the accessibility and reach of speed dating, making it convenient for people with busy schedules or limited geographic proximity.
