Just went to a speed date last week. But turned out no guys chose me. Feel so upset though I couldn't locate someone I like on that event. But still feel hurt of self-pride.
On usual socializing occassion, I used to be the one who hit on guys among my girlfriends. Don't know why turned out failure this time. I lost all my self confidence to know anyone, or doubt if I could hit anyone anymore. As there are 10 guys there, no single one chose me, esp. those guys are not good looking all of them

I'm quite ok to attract attention in certain occasions. But just don't know why I couldn't hit off just any one of these 10 guys :(

I've never been to a speed date, but can imagine how you feel if there's 10 guys and not one picked you. Just curious, what did you think of the other girls who were there? For example, did they wear different clothes style, or did they have a manner that was more friendly and talkative, or less, or what? Just like to hear your comments if you don't mind?

not really 10 guys, as I didn't choose many guys. But the guys that I chose didn't choose me. However I already chose those not good looking but friendly, thinking the hit rate be higher...geez
And I bumped into a guy who I met once on a blind date....Geez...he is average in general, but already the best among those guys there because the quality for most of them are quite poor. I thought that guy is very demanding in picking up women, but strangely he chose my friend who went together with me and who is 4'11" with a few extra pounds. In usual, I thought she's quite difficult to get any attention...so strange the result.
The bad looking guys are still so demanding these days. And some guys' taste are really strange

I have found that it isn't even how attractive you are but the attitude you project.
Go again with the intention of projecting a positive and interesting demeanor and see what happens, ask lots of questions. I might get flack for this comment, but act like you are buying a pair of shoes.
Also wear lipstick and smile alot, wear your hair nicely. Put enjoyment is your own looks for you and see what happens. Body language is important too.
It was only 10 guys and you didn't find anyone you liked.
With a woman who usually makes the first moves it is difficult to let a man do the same.
Trust me I'm in Bangkok and the taste is Thai here, being western is like being invisible, but I enjoy myself and how I look and I still attract men, I just don't want to at the moment and being easy going goes a long way.

I'm not sure. But I think I'm quite friendly in talking to everyone. And the girls on that nite, although not as ugly as the guys, but quite average in general. One or two of them even shows much uninterest in their attitude. I'm the one already courteous. And a few of them are quite "casual" in makeup, hair and dressing
Don't know what's going wrong with me.

the problem is I don't find any one woman particularly outstandingly attractive on that nite as well

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... stop worrying about other ppl's apprearances and just enjoy the event! Think of it as a bonus if somebody picked u! If ur that confident about ur appearance and personality then somebody would pick u eventually, speed date or not!!

Maybe a few of these 'unattractive' men chose you but since you didnt choose them, no matches were announced.
Or are you dismayed that the only 1 not so unattractive guy didnt choose you? But had 'the nerve' to choose your friend?
Why would you want to be picked by men you don't even find attractive? You'd be wasting their time, and some might end up being a nuisance, esp when they can't take No for an answer.

From what I understand of my friends who go on these speed dating events, it's the personality that counts not the looks. If you're into looks there's plenty of that in the city already and people with great looks don't need to go to speed dating events. But it's hard to beat a great personality - someone who cares, understands, down to earth, and has a great sense of humour is hard to find. Maybe you should reflect how you came across to other people that night? what type of questions you asked others, was your conversation interesting or boring? Basically, I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with you. You may have been nervous or shy, not responsive, and the real you didn't really get to shine through, but you've got to stop thinking that looks are going to get you a date.
