Loading ...Success Stories: Man Vending Machine
2:44pm / 02.10.2008
It’s all very well to unleash ten talented, single, viable, attractive men onto the women of New Zealand - but what about the results? Who went home with who? Was there a kiss? Was there a promise of a next meeting? Find out all the gossip here!
UPDATE 2: FLOSSIE’S MAN VENDING MACHINE STRIKES SUCCESS AGAIN!
Like Man Vending Machine Man #6, my date also went well – despite forgetting to give her the flowers for a while! We headed off to Auckland’s Vertical Bungy (our date location) and talked along the way so I got to now the basics about Serena; 33 year old, in finance law and doing a science degree at uni.
The bungy was great - but it was over way too fast so I suggested we go for a walk and we strolled around town for a bit chatting, before SHE took me to lunch.
I walked her to uni afterwards and we swapped numbers! We got along quite well and it was definitely a good way to meet someone outside of my social circle!

UPDATE 1: I SURVIVED THE MAIN VENDING MACHINE STUNT!
If I was to say that a woman’s needs can be met by a machine, then I’m pretty certain you’d instantly be thinking of something long that vibrates – and until yesterday, you’d have been completely correct!
It was my honour to be one of a handpicked few who were involved as the Men in Flossie’s Man Vending Machine – the reward awaiting one lucky lady who selected me – but I can’t help thinking that I might have been the lucky one in this equation!
My vending recipient, Gail, is a 5ft 4” blonde in training to become a beauty therapist. To say she was a bit overwhelmed by my appearance out the machine would have been an understatement! Regardless, off to the chancery we went – a great place for a first date!
We talked about the usual stuff, like where we were originally from, our jobs, family, travel, little bit of politics and of course the circumstances that had placed us facing each other sharing a bottle of bubbles. It was strange that she got me out of a vending machine and then suddenly here we are on a blind date however I don’t think it was strange that we got on so well.
If you’re single and looking it’s all about the opportunity. I was looking for an opportunity to go on a date with a woman who was daring and decent. Seeing as this vending idea was a world first I can’t say if she is the typical women that the machine attracts, however I’m going to go out on a limb and say that you must have some guts to give it a go and that’s awesome enough in my books.
So maybe in this wild world of dating and trying to find that special someone, we just have to thrust ourselves into the opportunities that are presented to us. Maybe it’s not the fear of rejection we suffer from but this desperate lack of opportunity. When are we supposed to meet people and how? At work? Bars?
Just maybe the idea of just pulling a man out of a machine and giving it a whirl is the best method. Hell, it landed me a wickedly fun afternoon with an incredible woman who was happy to give me her number and a kiss at its conclusion and that isn’t bad. Embrace the absurdity of life I say and see where it takes you, even if that may be a vending machine.
Yours, Man Vending Man #6
