San Francisco

While lauded as a coldly efficient way to meet
people, online dating still requires negotiating so many tedious questionnaires/dubious profiles, it leaves you too almost too tired for sex with desperate strangers. Experience the flinty-eyed matchmaking of the future, with SF's Woome.com.

Backed by a Skype founder, Woome is the Uzi to Match.com's musket, allowing you to mow through up to 5 women in 5 minutes via rapid-fire voice-and-video chat sessions -- like speed-dating, without the commitment. To find ladies with similar interests, browse among existing forums ("Let's Party", "Jesus is Coming") or, if the existing forums' user thumbnails are too ugly, create your own topic of discussion ("Where the hot thumbnails at?"). When a forum's strike-time hits, it coordinates 60-second chats between the genders; hit it off, and Woome'll pass you her contact info for $1; strike out, and you can trash her rep, eBay-style, broadcasting to all that she rejected delivery of the DinoBot that is your heart.

Most sessions run between 7-11pm, a webcam's optimal but not required (you can go with avatar+headset), and you do have the option for an "Anyone Meets Anyone" session -- ushering in a bleak future of cold, efficient fishing tips from strange men.
