By now, you know I’m on record with my firm belief that dating sites and apps are dead. About a month and a half ago I ran a Masterclass For Men detailing 40 different ways to use your smartphone and computer to meet women in IRL…NONE of which are dating sites and apps. Well, wouldn’t you know it? There’s a 41st.
My new friend and first time guest Melissa Schipke stumbled upon a strange but fun idea for getting single people together while hanging out at an open mic night with BAD comedians! She told the owner of the venue it would be more entertaining if she and her friend just got up there and pitched their single friends to these guys. A few years later, Pitch-A-Friend is in dozens of cities spanning 22 countries…and growing.
So what’s the deal? Let’s just say it’s basically online dating in REVERSE. Instead of putting up a profile and hoping someone likes it, all the single people are ALREADY THERE in the room, and THEN your friend basically “wings” for you with a PowerPoint presentation.
Now, I actually did my homework here and went to the most recent event here in San Antonio. At first I planned to be a “fly on the wall”, but my waitress turned out to be pretty cute and VERY single…so I pitched her! Tune in for more on how THAT went, as well as all the details about Pitch-A-Friend…including why it’s EXACTLY in line with what the “new normal” for meeting women is gonna look like.
Obviously, GenZ is eating this stuff up. But wait a minute…what about Pitch-A-Friend in The Villages or Sun City, AZ. Ha! And by the way, there was room for a relevant Dead Milkmen reference in there, too. Nice.
