Speed dating races to world record

The official Guiness Book of World Records attempt for the worlds largest speed dating will be held by World Date in St Kilda at the end of June.There will be over 100 eligible professional males and females all meeting each other and rotating during the marathon effort in a world first. Segments will also air on Foxtel.

The dramatic rise in popularity is a result of our hectic lifestyle with people working longer hours and traditional ways of meeting disappearing.There is growing dissatisfaction with superficial bar scene and internet dating where many people waste time emailing for weeks to find that the person fails to resemble their photo or profile upon meeting face to face.

Major events organiser, Ian White has launched a new concept. Ian has a history of gala events for up to 2000 professional singles a night in both Melbourne and Sweden has run events for the largest internet dating site in Australia.

Japan, like Australia, is entering an ageing population crisis with over 2000 schools closed in the last decade. This is why the Japanese Goverment pays for speed dating. Peter Costello has also emphasised our crisis.

World Date is fast, fun and rejection-free. The novel scheme took off in America and has even featured in an episode of the hit US comedy Sex and the City.To those sceptics who ask what can you learn about someone in a few minutes, Ian’s website documents University Research showing most people predict the long term suitability of a partner within a few minutes.

Patrons get South Pacific Gym memberships, Salsa dancing courses and hair and beauty. Future world-first events include a full profiling events nd super speed date where you meet 100 potential partners.
