ABOUT THE EVENT

Research shows ‘The mind is the most powerful aphrodisiac’. Everybody knows looks fade, jokes become repetitive and personality becomes boring and predictable. But an intelligent mind never fails to discover something new. This means the right individual can always find a way to arouse your passion, intrigue and imagination. Intelligence isn’t just knowing facts and figures, its more mysteriously compelling and fluid than that. And if you are not one of these, maybe you can find one at SAPIO.

This is not your typical psychological speed dating, where personality assessments match you with your potential partner. As psychology professionals, were sick of seeing awkward conversations and weirdness around meeting new people. Each 'date' or meeting is designed around an activity, challenge or test that was created by psychologists. Let the discomfort, the new perspectives and the innovative ways in which you work together do the talking!

There is no pressure to just find a date - looking for a night with new people, interesting conversations or a friendship, use SAPIO to discover whichever suits you best. We're honestly over every interaction always being about 'romance', when geeking out over something is so much more interesting.

Come with no expectations, and an open mind, if you want to find out. Just for today, forget the looks and ask yourself... can you capture somebody’s imagination with just your mind and intelligence?
