Men, you have 30 seconds to impress women

[JFC]

HALF of all women make their minds up within 30 seconds of meeting a man about whether he is potential boyfriend material, according to a study on speed-dating.

That sucks ass. :evil:

That does sound pretty bad, but consider that it's based on speed-dating.  Isn't the whole point of speed-dating to make a decision on how good the match is within a very short period of time?  I think you only get about 5-8 minutes with each match at one of those speed-dating events, so you have to decide fast.  I think this biases the general results.  Extrapolating from decisions made on a 5 minute speed-date to decisions made on a 2-3 hour normal date probabaly isn't the most accurate thing to do.
