in the spirit of past bingo markets such as:

I bring you: dating bingo.

I've been single a long time, and I'd like to find someone to date. in a dating app era, the search can be a bit exhausting and it's easy for me to just close them and tune out. but I'm nothing if not motivated by markets, and I think a bingo will make it more interesting to go on dates.

this market is open to add answers, but please only add real options - I reserve the right to NA any unserious, dangerous, impossible, impractical answers. if you have any question about it, ask me. if you don't want to pay the fee to add it, comment and I'll add it for you. all options are for any date, it doesn't have to be a first date or a new person etc.

  • Update 2025-06-16 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding the answer 'he tell me he's already on manifold':

This will only resolve YES if the creator finds this out unexpectedly. This does not include scenarios where the creator met the person on Manifold. A separate answer will be added for that case.

  • Update 2025-06-18 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding the answer 'go on a date with someone I didn't meet through an app or friend':

    • The term 'app' specifically refers to a dating app.

  • Update 2025-06-18 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding the answer 'go on a date with someone I didn't meet through a dating app or friend':

A date with someone met on Manifold will not count for this option, as that scenario is covered by a separate answer.

  • Update 2025-06-23 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has announced their intention to resolve this market to N/A, as they no longer wish to run it.

hi @traders - thanks for joining me here, but I'm likely to NA this market today as I'd rather not run it alongside this aspect of my personal life/goals. any mana you've invested here will come back to you!

@shankypanky fair enough, best of luck 🤞

@Joshua lmao this is probably a good litmus test

filled a Ṁ3 YES at 67% order

Do you consent to a market answer about hooking up?

If so, how would you want it operationalized? (Must be before marriage? Must be before 4th date begins? Etc.)

@shankypanky does Manifold count as an app?

@jcb ack, I'll update. I meant a dating app.

@jcb (there's an existing option for going on a date with someone I met on Manifold, though!)

I have a date this evening (if I don't cancel it h/t @Joshua lol) lfg

bought Ṁ10 YES

How is “i give him a gift” higher than “he gives me a gift”? This is very contrary to gender roles but maybe stefanie is a huge gift giver?

@KaylaG I am a gift giver! but also, people likely assume since I see the market and could theoretically do that to resolve yes it's more reliable than some guy giving me a gift on a date without any prompting!

75% oh no

Firstly, to help set base rates, which of the current options happened the last time you tried dating, and how frequently?

Secondly, some general questions which affect the odds of options related to relationship success in general (ones I think I already know are struck-through, but I may be wrong):

  • General info

    • What is your approximate age, gender (I think woman based on username and profile pic?), and sexual/romantic orientation?

    • What general part of the world do you live in? (I think the Bay Area based on other market?)

    • What broad sector is your current profession / subject of study in?

  • Primary dating factors

    • Are you actively attempting to find someone, or planning to in the near future? (yes based on market description)

    • What methods are you currently using, or planning to use?

    • How attractive do you consider yourself to be, and do you consider yourself to have high standards for attractiveness in potential partners, both physically and personality-wise?

    • Roughly how much past relationship experience do you have?

    • What is the approximate size, gender balance, and relationship success rate of your friendship group?

  • Potential major barriers

    • Do you have extremely controversial political/philosophical/religious views or hobbies/interests?

    • Do you have significant physical (I know there's the thyroid problem from the other market, not sure if anything else?) and/or mental long term illnesses/disabilities?

    • Do you find it difficult to enjoy the company of, compassionately care about, and trust people you meet?

    • Do you have very little consistent free time to spend on finding someone?

  • Misc/meta

The All Memeing Eye Official List Of Dating Odds Questions has arguably grown to be quite large over time lol, so you don't have to answer them all if it's too inconvenient/personal

Best of luck :)

this market closes in 24h?

@nikthink oh god, I'm not that ambitious. thanks - I'll update.

bought Ṁ10 YES

Does "he tells me he's already on manifold" resolve yes if you met on manifold?

@LarsOsborne hmm my intention for that one was to find out unexpectedly. I'll add an option for a date with someone I met on Manifold!

bought Ṁ10 YES

@shankypanky could you add the word "unexpectedly" to it to avoid people betting mistakenly?

@TheAllMemeingEye him I think it's clear that if he tells me he's on manifold we didn't already meet there (because I'd already know that, then lol) is it really unclear?
