So clearing the speed dating project with my professor today and I'm pretty excited bout this.. the actual event happens in 2 weeks, basically 20 6 minute convos... for those of u who didn't read my previous thread, I am doing a project examining how subconscious cues affect attraction, specifically most people would say one thing, but when the date actually happened what they said did not correlate with what actually attracted them: for example, some women would say intelligence and sincerity, before the date were 2 primary factors in choosing their mate, however during the date, it was actually physical attractiveness of dude, and humor/charm. Point is what we say we are attracted to is usually not the primary thing -in the moment- that turns us on.
This is just the rough idea that I want to convey in my paper, as well as measuring how much time it take for me to determine whether I'm attracted or not.. and what were the key characteristics that sparked an attraction.
Anyway I'm stoked about the upcoming project, and am unsure if she is gonna make me do the same 6 minute intro for every person or not, which would suck...
Anyway my question is if you had 6 minutes to evaluate if you form a connection with someone, or if you are attracted, which usually takes less than 3 minutes, what would u talk about?
What would your first questions be... do you talk about yourself... your job, your hobbies?
Do you talk about past relationships, -whether or not u like rough sex-, j/k...
Does anyone have any stories about dates in which you hit it off immediately, how long did it take for you to know, and did the person fit your preconceived notions of what u were looking for?
I've gotta date tonight, and am excited bout it cause there really seems like alot of possibility, but am now kinda feeling weird cause I will be overthinking this whole thing due to reading all these articles on attraction and not being actually just present on the date...
