I am wondering what topics I can talk that women usually find interesting other than the regular boring ones like work, hobbies, etc..I am asking this because I go to Speed Dating events where I get only 5 minutes with each woman. I find myself typically asking the same set of questions like - where are you from? hobbies? what do you do? etc... I feel like that's what the other men are also asking. I want to talk some thing different and stand out from the crowd.

You could ask about a recent film for example in a " have you seen...or would you like to watch..with me.."Or you could try to get them going about there exes ..or anything so long as it is actually a conversation and not a check list.

Dear OP,As a woman who has already done speed dating events, here are my two cents on how to impress the ladies:1) Look your best! How you look is at least 70% of the success of a speed dating event, because you don't have much time for talking and getting to know the personality. Find that to be shallow? Duh, of course it is. It is a room crowded with desperate single people that are only willing to talk to each other for 5 minutes. After meeting 8-9 guys, I forgot 90% of what was said. But I remembered who was looking appealing to me. 2) Body language: Hold eye contact for a moment, smile a bright and pleased smile, as if you were seeing something really enjoyable and beautiful, give a firm handshake or a kiss on the cheek. You want to look self-confident and attentive, not as nervous and self-absorbed as the rest. 3) Compliments.4) After the event, there is usually time to hang out at the bar together. This is actually an important time where you can convince someone who ticked you off first, by showing your personality.. and asking directly for a phone number. Or at least have a good time with the other people. If you dont' find a girlfriend, at least you can find male single friends to hang out with at a bar or club.
