For the Ladies - Clothing

And what about the ladies? Dr. Mayweather, a friend to Brisbane Speed Dating advices women should wear a pink- peach to make themselves most approachable. The color is "very flattering to most skin tones, it gives you healthy glow," and according to Mayweather, projects "a little vulnerability which brings out something protective in men." Want to wear a color that weeds out guys who can''t handle strong women? Try a deep red, burgundy or plum. Men who aren''t attracted to strong women will steer clear. Of all the colors, red is the most sensual. But, wear red with caution. "Red is the color of sex and power," says Mayweather. Red adds an element of excitement and attracts two types of men - men interested in sex, and men attracted to powerful women. Sure, you''ll probably have to fend off a lot of freaks, but you could also end up attracting a guy that isn''t threatened by the fact that you make a bigger salary. Concerned your wardrobe is driving people away? Stay away from what Mayweather calls "squished caterpillar yellow-green" which is said to repel both sexes equally.

FEMALES - Tip #1: Men like to show off. It's not a secret. That's why they buy expensive cars or big screen TVs. They want to be admired and appreciated. Don't be afraid to compliment a man on what he does good and avoid criticizing or correcting him.

Tip #2: Think positive. Never, and I mean NEVER talk too much about your previous relationships. Don't be overly negative when talking about men in general. They hate it when a woman talks about every bad thing men ever did to her. Unconsciously he will get a feeling that you blame him because he is a man too. It is like being guilty before proven innocent.

Tip #3: Men are wonderful creatures but unlike women, very simple creatures. They are winners and hunters by nature. That's why they are so attracted to the confident women. It is a new challenge for them. The research made in this area had shown that woman should play "selectively hard to get" if she wants to become irresistible. It means that she gets a lot of offers from different men but she declines her dates , " while indicating that she is willing to date the young man in question, although it will take some effort on his part to persuade her." This strategy will flatter any man.

Tip #4: Eye contact that lasts just a little longer than is comfortable. Watch how you want to drop your eyes when you look at a man you find attractive. Begin to allow that look to linger...just a little longer, with a hint of a smile. Definitely sends a message but yet keeps it feminine, which men love.

Tip #5: Never try to impress a man. Instead give him an opportunity to impress you. Express sincere interest in something he does or takes pride in. It never hurts to compliment him on the job he does, his posture, his car. Men love complements just as much as women do. Why not make them feel better and make them want to spend free time with you.

Bonus tip: I realize that it is a personal decision of every woman, but please think twice before you will have sex with the guy on the first date. It is a paradox. Most men want to get a woman in bed as soon as possible. They are ready to make any promises and try to sweet-talk a lady into having sex, but if in their opinion she agrees too quickly, they will quit calling her. Why? It's simple. According to their logic if you did it so easily with him, you probably had done it with others as well. Don't bother with the excuse, "I usually don't have sex so soon" (even if is true), men simply won't believe it.

Brisbane Speed Dating Tips for Women

Don't Give Out Any Personal Details!

Brisbane Speed Dating Events is a great way to meet single guys. Its fun, it's fast and most importantly, it's safe. Help us keep it that way by not giving out any personal information during your speed dates. This includes last name, telephone number and email address. If you tick him off on your card, and he also shows an interest in you, we'll make sure you both have everything you need in order to catch up again!

Give Clear Signals Men are notoriously bad at interpreting signals from women. Know what you want when you flirt and make sure your signals are clear and that they convey what you mean. If you genuinely want to meet people then by all means flirt, just make sure you know how to separate the sexual flirting signals from the 'hi, I'm friendly' flirting signals.

Laugh and the World laughs with You. People love being around charismatic people because they spread good feelings. Get yourself into the right state of mind for making a fast impression and go for it. Feel good about yourself and others will feel good about you.

Like your mother said, if you haven't got anything nice to say - don't say anything at all... but don't get up and leave!

I'll illustrate this point with a story: A little while ago we had a russian immigrant attend one of our Sydney events. Although he had a PhD he had found it difficult to find a job in his field and was driving a cab to make ends meet. When he arrived at one of our female guest's table she asked him what he did for a living (a no no in itself, see below) and promptly got up and went to sit at the bar when she found out he drove a taxi. Not only is this kind of behaviour deeply insulting to the man, it's just plain wrong. It's almost inevitable that some of the people you meet will not be right for you, but they are human beings and deserve your respect and courtesy. They've paid to meet you too!

Be Interesting by Being Interested Cut down the talk about yourself and ask him open-ended questions. Find out about him - after all people generally enjoy talking about themselves and feel flattered when someone shows an interest in them. Jay Abrahams, the famous marketing expert, tells the story of a conversation he had with a stranger in a bar. He introduced himself and said that he was in Sydney to do a lecture tour. He then asked the stranger "What brings you to Perth?" An hour later the man got up to leave. "You know Mr Abrahams" he said, "You are one of the most interesting people I have ever met". Jay recounts that during the entire hour the only words he spoke were those of his introduction and his first question! People like people who are interested in them. You don't have to shut up entirely but when you engage someone in conversation make sure you spend at least 60% of the time listening to THEM!

Ask Him What He Enjoys Doing Women and men often tend to fall back on the line 'What do you do'? To some men, this can smack of 'checking for wallet-padding'. Not everyone is doing work they love and the question may put them on the spot. Men are much more activity orientated than women. Asking them what they enjoy doing in their life will allow you to find out more about what makes them tick.

Be Yourself There's no point assuming a role you think someone wants you to play because you'll get found out sooner or later. Be proud of who you are and if you aren't sure how you are at your best, you might want to do some work on it. There are plenty of courses and self-help books out there.

Dress Code One simple rule of thumb for any outfit is that if your mother would wear it, you shouldn't. Likewise, if your daughter would wear it, you shouldn't either! If you look in the mirror and think, "Do I look ridiculous in this?" lets face it - you probably do. Here are 5 simple tips for dressing for a Brisbane Speed Dating Event :

1. If it doesn't fit, don't wear it - Although squeezing your size 14 boobs into a skimpy size 8 top might be good for your ego, it's not good for your respiration. Nor should you hide your shape behind billowy clothes that make you look like you're about to set sail.

2. Wear appropriate makeup - Make-up should enhance your features, not hide them. Be sure to use shades that match your natural skin tone. Contrary to popular belief, men DO actually notice when your neck is a different colour to your face. Aim to look like a natural beauty that wakes up looking that way, not the result of a 3 coat paint job.

3. If you're driving or planning to take a cab you can wear the sexiest, most impractical high heels you've got, after all, it's the men that move around while you stay seated. If you're walking far or taking public transport you should think about wearing moderately comfortable shoes. Although Carey from Sex and the City might look perfectly comfortable tramping around Manhattan in 6 inch Manolo's, that's because she's a fictional character. You want to focus on your date, not how much your feet hurt.

4. Wear sexy underwear - you'll feel like a femme fatale! If you feel sexy you'll come across that way too.

5. Don't over dress - Although you're unlikely to impress anyone in track pants and thongs, you'll look a little ridiculous turning up in a gold sequined full-length ball gown and a tiara. The dress code is the stylish end of smart-casual- which can encompass anything from dressy jeans to a cocktail dress.

How to Attract Men

1. Learn How to Flirt Women who are great flirts are great guy magnets. They know that its actually women who set up most flirtatious moments. How? By using ancient, universal flirting techniques. Its so simple its almost a cliché however it works! You are attracted to a man across the room, watch him until he feels your eyes on him, your eyes lock for a couple of seconds, look away and then look back at him - twice. If you sense him beginning to watch you, wait awhile (5 - 10 minutes) and do the whole game over again.

2. Learn to Like Yourself If you don't like yourself, how could you expect someone else to like you? Men like women you are happy with themselves. When you find yourself chatting to a man you are attracted to, don't point out all of the things that you don't like about yourself, talk about the positive things that are going on in your life. You don't need to brag or lie, just show a happy, positive attitude towards your life.

3. Get Out There Love is very unlikely to come knocking on your door. You have a far better chance of meeting available single men if you go to places where available single men hang out. Don't worry if you don't like nightclubs and bars, join a club or sign up for events that are happening in your town. Instead of sitting at home every night with only the cat for company, choose one night of the week to spend at your favourite coffee bar, take a book or magazine to read, or use the time to write or do some research. Shy men are far more likely to strike up a conversation with a woman after he's seen her a few times.

4. Enjoy the Company of Men If you haven't really enjoyed yourself with the men you have previously spent time with, you either need to have a better understanding of what your interests, beliefs and ideals are and find men with similar ones or ask yourself whether you really are looking for an individual human being or just a mirror image of yourself.

5. Have a Life The one thing that will send any independent, together sort of guy running more than any other is a woman who is willing to drop everything for him. Don't wait for a boyfriend to have a social life, have both female and male friends to go out and do fun things with and don't drop them as soon as you are in a relationship. People who do stuff are so much more interesting than those who follow their partner around like a puppy dog.

6. Make the Most of Yourself Great, hot, interesting, available men don't want a woman who looks like she just stepped out of a glossy magazine, but they do want a woman who takes pride in her appearance, especially when going out. If make up isn't your thing, it doesn't have to be, just make sure your hair is well kept, clean and glossy, your finger nails are clean and shaped and you smell good. If you always wear jeans and a jumper, why not try a flattering skirt for a change? Think about the colour of your clothes, do they suit your complexion? When you look good, you feel good and this makes you look even more attractive to the opposite sex. Men like women who like being women. They like our curves because that's what makes us different. You don't have to dress overtly sexy to attract a man's attention, but it does no harm to show a flash of leg or a hint of cleavage now and again. Men like women who know how to enjoy their femininity and their sexuality and they think that they can tell this by the clothes a woman wears. Why not make sure you are in the running?

7. Know How to Enjoy Yourself So many women are so busy and stressed out trying to build a successful career or running around after the children that they don't know how to relax and enjoy themselves in a man's company. Before you walk out of the door for a Brisbane Speed Dating Event or a night on the town, leave your list of life's shoulds, must do's and goals behind you. A woman looking to fit a man into her carefully planned life agenda doesn't attract men, she repels them.
