Join queer men in playful intergenerational speed-dating to find friends, mentors, networkers, & dates using speedmatch app conversations.
About this Event

EASY WAY TO FIND NEW FRIENDS, DATES, MENTORS/MENTEES, & NETWORKING CONNECTIONS: Join queer men (18 & up) from all over the region in this intergenerational speed dating event where you will spend five minutes getting to know a man and then decide whether you want to let him know at the end of the evening via a speedmatch app that you want to get to know him for: 1) networking, 2) dating, 3) mentoring, 4) friendship, 5) or no connection. You'll repeat this process in brief interviews with as many of the men present as possible. After each conversation, you'll mark your preferences on the app, and you'll learn all your mutual matches by the end of the event & be able to email them or chat to schedule a followup meeting (if you want).

BETTER WAY TO MAKE EASY, REAL CONNECTIONS: The beauty of this process is you can learn about a lot of men quickly and then connect with them in ways you both are interested in but without the awkwardness of having to pretend you are interested, reject someone, or have no idea whether they are interested in you. Lots of introverts and kewl people think speed dating is lame or really awkward, but thousands of people have used this app and found it to be surprisingly easy, fun, and fostering of genuine connections. With a little practice most people find it much more fun and comfortable than going to a bar with a bunch of strangers or trying to meet people on hookup apps.

TIPS FOR SETTING UP SUCCESSFUL MENTOR/MENTEE RELATIONSHIPS

WHO THIS EVENT IS FOR: this event is for queer men, which can include gay, bisexual, pansexual, demisexual, asexual men, & transmen who are attracted to people on the male end of the gender spectrum, and non-binary individuals who sometimes present on the male end of the spectrum and who are attracted at least in part to people on the male end of the spectrum. We will not exclude anyone because of how they present their gender or sexual orientation, and this is an event for people who identify as queer men. Berkshire Pride hosts Speed Dating Events for the entire LGBTQ+ community, & we encourage you to support their events if you are looking for Speed Dating for the whole LGBTQ+ community.
