About this episode

The hosts discuss their experiences and insights from hosting a speed dating event, touching on various aspects of modern dating.

Welcome back to Pass The Meerkat Podcast 🎙️🐾 In this episode, Deji, Eman, Pedro and Gbengz (making his FIRST appearance of the year 👀) sit down for one of our funniest and most relatable conversations yet. We break down our experience hosting a real-life speed dating / singles event, what actually happens behind the scenes, and why the energy completely changes once everyone settles in. From awkward first moments to unexpected confidence boosts, we unpack the psychology of dating in real life. The conversation then shifts into modern dating struggles: approaching men and women, rookie mistakes people make when trying to shoot their shot, whether you should focus on one person or explore your options, and the unwritten rules nobody teaches you about social events. And yes… we had to address one of the biggest debates in dating today: 📸 Why can’t men take good photos to send to girls? Expect honest opinions, funny stories, real advice, and classic Pass The Meerkat chaos throughout. 👀 In this episode we discuss: • Hosting a speed dating event while being taken • Why men rarely attend singles events • How confidence changes during the night • The funniest moments from the event…
