Has anyone here paid for a matchmaking service, and if so, was it worth it?

Idea: how about you all just send each other a message. Do your own matchmaking in this thread. It’s literally right in front of you and you’re acting like consultants and making something simple so complex

Looks like I should start one here on FB. PPMD match making! All of you interested send me DMs with your details and what you’re seeking. I will cross connect you guys with each other for a very nominal fee.

To OPs point. I received DMs from 4 women and 1 man. So if you are a man sitting on the sidelines… jump in!

Chipping in as a female in her 30s - I’ve been trying to meet someone for some time on apps but find a lot of time wasters (and as we all know the job is demanding) - I have quite a few high quality female friends (kind ambitious good jobs funny beautiful) and we all say the same thing - where are the good quality men! And when I say good quality I mean kind / genuine / ambitious

She’s welcome to have them to. But I’d prefer to avoid the potential disruption to both households by trying to norm everyone into a collective group that the children did not opt for but their parents elect to impose. It has little to do with me and everything to do with my children. It’s for the same reason that I won’t have more biological (or adopted) children. I don’t want mine to feel like second class citizens since they came from a former marriage and my “new” children would be living with me 100% of the time but my previous children would not. Thank you for understanding.

I’ve just enquired about one but it’s 7k minimum! I’ll keep you posted.
Just out of interest are you m or f?

So what are some of the match making services out there ? Can u suggest a few names ?

I’ve found a few in my city on Google.

I haven’t, but I would if I was looking for a mate! It’s one of the most important decisions of your life after all…

Yep…. Working with one now. It’s quite expensive but I’m meeting quality men, so I think it’s worth it. For me, I want different so I decided it was time to do something different. So far so good.

She’s born and raised in NYC and because of that she has deep connections and knows a lot of great quality men in the city

With all of the available apps and self-managed dating options out there, I’d skip it. Dating is a numbers game and you’ll get the most visibility and variety using one. Expensive matchmaking services self-select for the same type of person and unless you want a carbon copy of yourself, I feel you’ll be better off using an app

I’m also interested in this; I’m 32 and Male. I’ve been told I’m too young to be paying this much, but tbh — I’m ready to settle and have the resources to pay. Thoughts on effectiveness for finding quality women?

Not sure how I feel about delegating this part of my life tbh. Is it the lack of time to dedicate to dating that has you seek a matchmaker?

You’re right OP - it’s creepy.

I am seeing a guy and having a hard time thinking about him in terms of long term relationship. One thing that bothers me is that he never showers after he comes back from the gym and I told him that I find it nasty. We currently live separately so I don't have to see him after he works out which is a good thing but I can easily see this being a problem in the future. Any tips? And NO I don't want to go to therapy lol

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not. This leads me to be extremely skeptical of others’ intentions, and makes me less confident that I can influence others, and in general really erodes my self-confidence. Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?
