Hot or Not Speed Dating | Approved Singles Only | NYC

🔥 HOT OR NOT SPEED DATING 🔥

Let's be honest: physical attraction matters.

Welcome to the most unapologetically super fun, superficial speed dating event in NYC.

Before you come for us in the comments, hear us out. We've all attended events where everyone's definition of "attractive" is wildly different. Hot or Not is for singles who believe initial chemistry is an important part of connection and want to know that everyone in the room has passed the same highly subjective screening process.

Here's how it works:

1. Join the waitlist.
2. Email Support@SingleAndTheCity your name and email you signed up for the waitlist with as well as: your Instagram handle (if no IG pls send 3 recent photos including one full body shot), profession and income.
3. Our highly unqualified panel of 3 men and 3 women will review your application.
4. If you're approved, you'll receive an invitation to purchase a ticket.

Because let's be real... attractiveness isn't just about looks.

A successful entrepreneur? Kinda hot.

A firefighter? Very hot.

A pediatric surgeon? Also hot.

Someone who still lives with their ex and "day trades"? Maybe less hot.

Don't have Instagram? No problem. Join the waitlist, enter "N/A" for Instagram, then email Support@SingleAndTheCity.com from the same email address you used to register. Include 3 recent photos of yourself, including at least one full-body shot.

A few things to know:

• This event is intentionally superficial.
• It's all in good fun.
• Being approved doesn't mean you're hotter than anyone else.
• Not being approved doesn't mean you're not attractive.
• Beauty, success, charm, confidence, and chemistry are all subjective.
•Still on the waitlist? Relax. Our judges are judging. Approved applicants will be contacted directly. Repeated emails asking for status updates won't improve your score.

This event isn't for the thin-skinned, the easily offended, or anyone looking for a lecture on inner beauty. It's for confident singles who can laugh at themselves, embrace the absurdity of modern dating, and acknowledge that attraction is often a mix of looks, personality, confidence, ambition, and lifestyle.

Will sparks fly? Maybe.

Will egos be bruised? Possibly.

Will it be one of the most talked-about dating events in town? Almost certainly.

Think you belong in the room?

Apply and let the judging begin.
