Why You Shouldn’t Miss Our 3rd Annual Speed Dating Event – The Stats Speak for Themselves!
With just three weeks to go until our 3rd Annual Speed Dating Event, it’s time to dive deep into why this year’s event is shaping up to be one of our most exciting yet. We’ve been receiving a flood of applications, and what we’ve learned from reviewing them is too good not to share. Whether you’ve already bought your ticket or are still on the fence, the numbers we’ve gathered will show you exactly why you should clear your calendar for September 28th.
At Single to Shaadi, we take pride in creating a space where everyone has a chance to meet someone they click with—no matter their background, lifestyle, or preferences. Our pre-event application process ensures that we’re able to make thoughtful, intentional matches so that each of you has the best possible experience. And from what we’ve seen, this year’s event is going to offer more opportunities than ever to meet your perfect match.
Balanced Gender Ratio – Prioritizing Equal Chances
One of the most common issues in South Asian speed dating events is the imbalance in gender ratios. It's often difficult to maintain a balanced mix, but we’re proud to say that this year, we’ve managed to do just that. With 56% of our attendees identifying as women, we’re prioritizing equal representation so that both men and women have an ideal opportunity to connect with someone meaningful.
This balance doesn’t happen by accident—our application process helps ensure that we can actively maintain and adjust our demographic mix. And for those of you who are used to seeing a lopsided turnout at other events, you’ll find that we’ve worked hard to create a welcoming, fair environment where everyone has a chance to meet someone special.
A Wide Age Range – Something for Everyone
While the majority of attendees are between the ages of 24 and 38 (around 72%), we also have a significant contingent of people who are in their 40s. Approximately 20% of our attendees are older, many of whom are seeking second-time marriages or mature relationships. Whether you’ve been divorced, have children, or have simply never married, you’ll find a supportive and diverse group of people looking for love and companionship.
At Single to Shaadi, we know that mature marriages are just as important—and often even more fulfilling—than first-time partnerships. This is why we’ve made a concerted effort to include singles of all ages and life stages. So if you’re in your 40s and considering whether this event is for you—trust us, it is!
Religious Diversity – A True Reflection of Our Community
We are thrilled to see that this year’s event will be a vibrant mix of South Asian religious backgrounds. While 80% of our attendees identify as Hindu, we also have 20% who come from Christian, Muslim, Sikh, and other backgrounds. This diversity reflects the richness of the South Asian diaspora in the U.S., and it means that no matter your religious preferences, you’ll find someone who shares your values—or perhaps someone who brings a different perspective into your life.
At Single to Shaadi, we believe that love transcends religion, but we also know how important it can be for many people to find someone who shares their spiritual or cultural practices. That’s why we ask about religious background in our application process—so we can help match people in ways that are meaningful to them.
Religious Diversity – A True Reflection of Our Community
One of the most common challenges in South Asian dating is finding someone whose lifestyle aligns with your own. We’ve made it a priority to ask about diet preferences in our applications, and the results are fascinating. 55% of our attendees are non-vegetarian, which means we’ve got a good mix of both vegetarians and non-vegetarians in attendance.
Why is this important? Lifestyle compatibility often starts with the basics—like what you eat! Whether you’re a strict vegetarian or more flexible in your diet, we want you to feel comfortable knowing that we’ve accounted for this when creating pre-matches. We understand that lifestyle is more than just food—it's about shared values, habits, and the way you navigate the world. Our goal is to help you find someone whose life aligns with yours in the ways that matter.
Citizenship and Shared Cultural Backgrounds
One of the most exciting stats we’ve gathered is that 71% of our attendees are U.S. citizens—whether born or naturalized. This means that most of our participants have grown up or spent significant time in the U.S., making it easier to find matches who share similar cultural touchpoints. Whether it’s navigating life as a first-generation American or understanding the unique balance between South Asian traditions and Western lifestyles, our event offers a chance to meet people who just get it.
This doesn’t mean the event is exclusive to U.S. citizens, of course! But it does mean that for those of you looking to find someone whose lifestyle and cultural experiences mirror your own, we’ve got you covered.
Educational Backgrounds – A Like-Minded Community
Finally, we know that intellectual compatibility is important to many of our attendees. We’re proud to report that 68% of our attendees have graduate degrees or higher, meaning this is a group of ambitious, successful individuals who value education and growth. Whether you’re looking for someone to have deep conversations with or someone who shares your professional drive, this event is filled with like-minded individuals.
Limited Tickets – Don’t Miss Out!
With all of this diversity and richness in our attendee pool, we can confidently say that we have someone for everyone. Our event is designed to be welcoming, inclusive, and intentional—so no matter what you’re looking for in a partner, there’s a high chance you’ll meet someone who fits the bill.
But time is running out! We have limited tickets remaining, and as you can see from the numbers, the demand is high. If you haven’t secured your spot yet, now is the time.
