We are frequently asked if there will be an even number of men and women at our speed-dating events. Or we're asked how we can possibly ensure that the event will be nicely balanced between men and women.Well, it's not easy, but we're good at it.

How did it take us so long to work out that both men and women want to come to the "Women Dating Younger Men" events? We've just run our first one on June 10, and we're going to be scheduling a lot more. The feedback we're getting from women is that they love that they have an event "where the men will have the energy to keep up with us!".
