Speed Dating and Dating Online Washington DC are the two most well-known approaches to dating. The Washington DC and Metropolitan area dating scene is mostly populated with adult American business professionals; the age range of this group is late twenties through late fifties. There is a fair mix of Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and other Secular religious groups as well as White, African-American, Asian, and Indian people.
Now, that being said, we will put online dating to the side as we first take a look at the art of speed dating. Speed dating events are held almost every night of the week somewhere in DC. There is a wide range of "specific" speed dating events such as Speed Dating for Jewish Professionals, Baby Boomers Speed Dating, Interracial Speed Dating, Speed Dating for Asian Professionals ages 20-35, etc. There are so many possible combinations of age/religion/race specific events for people who fit into certain categories (or people who are interested in meeting people who fit into a certain category) that it is possible to have a specific speed dating event each night of the month and even a couple non-specific speed dating events for anyone.
Dating Online Washington DC is not as specific when it comes to genres of people and their "categories". Part of this is because when you get down to it, it is not legal to discriminate against someone signing up for your website based on these factors. Not to mention, how can a website verify someone's actual age, race, religion, and so forth? Another reason that these dating sites are not specific as to who they would like to join is because that way, they can make their members pay extra fees to view specific groups of people from their area who are on the site.
Furthermore, online dating sites are, in a lot of people's opinions, not as fun as speed dating. When you meet someone online, all you have to go off of is the picture they choose to show you, the short paragraph about them, and that's about it. When you are speed dating, you are seeing that person face to face, you are observing their body language, and you are hearing the first thoughts that come to their mind because they only have three minutes to catch your interest.
Personally, if I were to suggest to a professional how to go about dating in their spare time, I would advise them to skip the Dating Online Washington DC websites and try out speed dating. The opportunity to meet and mingle with thirty some singles in a short one or two hour period of time is so much more fun than spending hours deciding who to meet up based on what they put on a website. Think about it this way: would you rather go on twenty first dates in one night or spend several nights trying to figure out who to go on one first date with?
