This long overdue change probably did a lot to negate the hostile attitudes that build up during the long waits. Last year was especially bad since having people lined up by the elevators invited a small number of people passing by making insults and mocking the people in line.
In fact last year was so awful that I was treated with suspicion when requesting an interview. Apparently the staffers assumed I was some disgruntled fiend plotting to cause them physical harm. I wish I was lying when I say that even during the interview one staffer was hovering behind me ready to stage a heroic intervention.
They had never heard of our humble outlet, but thought it reasonable to assume that I was some kind of malevolent madman. It was more believable to them that a random rogue would create a whole set of fake business cards for the express purpose of storming their event.
Luckily this year the atmosphere was much more jovial. Not only were there no insults exchanged, the people in line were able to look out the windows and take in the sights. If one was so lucky to have been in the line for the last session on Saturday they would have had an excellent vantage point to witness a local bigoted protestor get harangued by folks expressing same sex affection and staging a counter protest of sorts mostly in the form of exposing the wisdom of Raptor Jesus.
While the line is a big part of the event, it is by no means the only part. Once you get registered they put you in a room with about nineteen other folks. The rules are simple: Should any of the three people you list have you listed in their top three then the Fanime staff will send you each other's contact information. If this sounds a bit off from commercial speed dating it is.
Their mission statement seems to aim towards helping people find the ONE instead of playing the numbers game. This may or may not be a good thing on the account that both parties will know that it is unlikely that the other person is seeing anyone else from the event, but on the other hand dating has always been a numbers game. Restricting the number of matches to three means you can play up the serendipity factor if you do hit it off with someone, but if not well considering the fact that people come from all over means that the odds of a lasting relationship are bit slimmer.
In terms of demographics the event essentially caters to the college age crowd which considering the crowd that they service, hardly comes as a surprise. This just means that if you are still in school, you can make a connection based solely on shared interests and physical attraction. After my experience, I wondered why not many girls participate. I think the main reason is because they are scared to be paired with a weird, creepy guy. Also, in the end, you decide who you want to give your personal information to.
Aside from curiosity, I went speed dating because I thought that it will help improve my people skills and I will gain more practice in interviews. The nerves finally subsided once the four minutes started with the first guy that I introduced myself to. What I learn from the guys in my session is that there seems to be a connection between heavy metal music and anime.
It was an interesting connection.
It is more of a last resort kind of question because in my view, it is already common ground that we both like anime and manga since we are all attending a convention. One of the people who stood out is this guy who is passionate about the study of sword making and samurai history, which I though was pretty awesome. My friends went to those a lot last year, and I was curious about it.
So I went this year with some of my friends. I am not much of a dancer, so I had no idea what I was doing. You can assume how uncomfortable it is to have all that body heat surrounding you. There were many dance halls to choose from. My friends and I picked the large dance hall that has fewer people.
Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun. Those are just some of the stuff I experienced at FanimeCon that seem note worthy to post. As for the loot I got from the Con, I think the best deal I got was this English-Japanese dictionary from the swap meet. I also got some cool art prints I will be talking about one particular artist I met at Fanime in a later post, which you should definitely check out later.
Overall, I had an awesome time at FanimeCon I will definitely do speed dating again. I recommend to girls that are thinking about going to FanimeCon to try speed dating. Speed dating is a lot of fun than I thought it would be. It is something new and gets you out of your comfort zone. There are times when I want to be bold and down-to-earth. That was one of those moments. Like Liked by 1 person. I hope I can attend a convention in july that I had not planned on going to but I may have changed my mind haha.
