Even as a 19yo - or especially as one - you can cold-approach en masse in school and college, on the street. Chances are - with Game you could have gotten much more girls than in such an event.
Also if you are mid- to end 30s and trying to get into a speed-dating group with early 20s girls, then you are probably not going to get far or they will not allow it.
The question is - did you profit from the speed dating experience and fucked several of the girls from one event? Or did you manage to bang one girl?
In any case - I think you would have gotten similar results if you went to a club or on a Day Game hunt. Unless you actually manage to fuck 3-5 women in the line-up, but again - age range is usually way higher than 23.
I agree that cold approaching is great, but why is it either-or? I did both in undergrad, and tried a lot more shenanigans as well. And I would say I profited from the speed dating for multiple reasons:
1. Sometimes I wouldn't get laid, sometimes I'd get laid, sometimes I'd get a few girls. I almost always got at least one
solid lead with a girl clearly interested in my dick, and often more, but I was still in my formative years of gaming and I'd end up dropping the ball on occasion. It was hit or miss, but I'd say overall I'd get a bang about 1/2 of the time (not including when I was 18). Not bad odds for a horny sophomore
2. There was only one under-21 club where I went for undergrad. It had a $20 cover and I was a poor college student. These speed-dating events were free for students from the university.
3. The competition was bad. Sure, the girls end up getting a lot of attention, but it's from a bunch of poorly adjusted guys who can't/won't cold approach. If you swoop in with the confidence, style, and game that they lack, it's so unfair that it resembles Michael Jordan competing in the Special Olympics.
4. As Shortest Straw and N°6 alluded to, it is a fantastic place to practice your game. It helps eliminate approach anxiety, as you can practice your ramble and learn to build attraction quickly. You don't have to worry about getting blown up by a girl, as they're all interested. Personally, I'd otherwise struggle to find 12 girls to cold approach in a single hour who are all clearly down-to-fuck.
It ends up being a similar environment to a club in terms of attention dynamics, but the girls don't have bitch shields and the other guys are lame. I wouldn't advocate using speed dating exclusively (

), but it's a great supplement that lets you sharpen your skills for (presumably) little cost.
EDIT: Forgot, one word of caution. Some of the girls who go to these are "soulmate" types who are looking for love, and thus get psychotic on you when you don't commit after sex. Be careful, keep your information on lockdown until you get a feeling for how nuts these girls are. Luckily my worst experience with one was when a girl I screwed saw me at the main library and loudly made a scene about how I was a pig and that she had found a "real man" after what I "did to her".
