The Great Ganesha

If you’re single, and have an iPhone, then there’s hope for you. You can go on an iDate. What’s that, you ask? It’s speed-dating with a techno-twist. You mingle over drinks, you speed-date and then, in an election-booth like enclosed area, you elect your President-to-be at the after-party (and this party definitely surpasses the two-party system). The clincher? You’re added on as a contact. Unlike Florida, there’s no ambiguity, but no guarantee that you’re electing a Bush either.

I got this off a site called iPhonesavior.com (via SFist). I guess, in this case, the iPhone is truly your savior. At least of your single state. I’m just glad I’m married already.

Meanwhile, Niko sounds really excited about the whole thing.

“The iPhone makes speed dating more user-friendly, because you’re rejecting a photo not a real person.” said Niko Atuna who co-hosts her own iDating parties in the downtown San Francisco area for $25 a person. [link]

Oh this really warms my heart. It brings everyone closer together, improves your people skills and brings the community that one extra step closer. No, really. I’m sure this will have a significant effect on the increasing divorce rates.

But wait, don’t get disheartened! Barry has had plenty of success with iDating. He’s been added as a contact so many times, it reminds of that Mark Twain quote where he said that he had quit smoking so many times, he was an expert at it (I paraphrase). Here’s what Barry has to say:

“I’ve been added as a contact to more iPhones than I can keep track of” said Barry Faig, a speed dating regular; “The ladies love my fresh pimpin’ style and my dope ass photo helps too.” [link]

Yeah, I think you’re dope, too…
