Increasingly, these days, people lead busy professional livesin which they have little time for lunch, let alone time tomeet the
next possible Mr or Ms Right. The emphasis inour lives is on using time we have left outside of work well,spending quality time with our family and friends. So, itsno surprise that speed
dating has become so popular. Anactivity in which busy men and women go to an organizedevent, have three-minute chats with more eligible membersof the opposite sex than they would
normally meet in ayear, and then decide who might or might not be a potentialpartner, is a great example of perfect time management.Spee d dating is a relatively new phenomenon. Its
first eventwas staged at Petes Caf in Beverly Hills California in 1998,and organized by a group of Jewish students who wanted tomeet other singles of the same religion.
They were sure itwas a good idea and expected that large numbers of peoplewould enjoy it, but not immediately. Within a very shorttime, however, it had spread
everywhere, and its popularitywas confirmed when a speed dating story line appeared inthe hit American comedy series Sex and the City .It hasnt taken sociologists very long to take an
interest,either. An American study, carried out in 2005, discoveredthat it took hardly any time at all for men and women tochoose who they would like to meet again in the future. Justseconds, in
fact. This study would appear to completelyundermi ne the argument of all those romantics whowonder how three minutes can possibly be enough todecide whether somebody might be the one. It
seems thatwe know instantly. Interestingly, women have a greaterinstinct for this than men. In a 2006 study, carried out by aScottish university, over 40 per cent of women, which wastwice the
percentage figure for men, had made their mindsup about the person they were chatting to within thirtyseconds.Othe r studies have looked into how to increase yourchances of
success when attending a speed dating event.They have produced some interesting results. For example,what you smell like could be vital. And Im not talking aboutremembering
to wash before you go. Women are attractedto men with a similar background and interests but a verydifferent scent. Theres no greater turn off than a guy withan identical natural body smell,
it would seem. Height, too,seems to be important to attraction, although short menshouldnt lose all hope. The important thing is to be a fewcentimetres taller than the woman youre
trying to chat up being too tall can be just as bad as not being tall enough.What you talk about can make all the difference, too. Youdthink that speaking intelligently about
the latest movie orplay would impress the girls or the guys, but nothing couldbe further from the truth. No-one likes someone whos tooclever. According to a recent study, its life
experiences thatattract the opposite sex, so dont forget to tell them aboutall those places youve been to and things youve seen.

Imagine being able to go back in time and have a little chat withthe 17year-old you. We asked two 30somethings what
advicethey would give their younger selves. Martha Lee The problem with most 17-year-olds is not that they are wild orrebellious but that theyre just so sensitive, and so self-obsessedthat
even an innocent comment might cause them muchemotional pain. So, what Id tell my younger self is to live a little,relax, and take no notice of what anyone else says. At parties,when I
was 17, Id sit in the corner trying to look grown up andsophisticated instead of enjoying myself. Id soon put a stop tothat if I could go back in time. Id drag the silly girl up and showher just how
much fun dancing in an embarrassing way can be!Mind you, I might have a word with her about how a littlelipstick is more appealing than layers and layers, and why thatlovely flowery dress didnt suit
those awful highheeled whitesandals.When I was 17, I was constantly worrying about boys. So, Id tellher to lighten up, forget about them, and spend more time withthe girls. Id love her to know
that not having a date on aSaturday night was not the end of the world, and didnt meanshe was a loser. And Id tell her that if a boy she liked didnt fancyher, he was allowed to have that opinion, and
that following himaround, changing hairstyles, or ringing him up and putting thephone down as soon as he answered wouldnt change anything.The other thing Id tell her is
that her mother was not anignorant, embarrassing but loveable idiot, who didnt knowwhat she was talking about, but rather a witty and forgivingwoman who was intelligent enough to be
amused rather thanannoyed at how arrogant and selfish teenagers can be. Jim Stewart To be honest with you, I dont think there would be much pointin going back in time and
talking to me as a 17-year-old, and notbecause I wouldnt listen. I was always being given advice, but, atthat age, however hard I tried, I just couldnt take it in. My worldwas listening to rock
music, cleaning my new motorbike andwatching football. Everything else seemed irrelevant. I tried tohave ambitions and be sensible, but I really couldnt see why.But if I did have the chance to
talk to tall, skinny, long-haired me,what would I say? Get your hair cut? No, I dont think so,although I would tell the younger me to try to eat morehealthily. Not that I was overweight. On the
contrary, when Ilook at old photos I always envy the fact that I managed to wearsuch tight jeans. Actually, what Id really want to tell myself is tothink bigger and to not limit my horizons. I dont
think I wasencouraged to take risks and to try to find out what I reallywanted to do. Perhaps there was pressure on me to conform,to go to college, to get a good job, that sort of thing.Oh, and the
other thing Id tell the 17-year-old me is to cut up allmy credit cards. I wasnt very good with money and I just didntrealize how quickly you can get into debt. If it hadnt been formy dad, it would have
