Back in my single days a woman approached me on OkCupid saying she was a matchmaker and I was a good candidate for her client. I rejected the client but consented in being in their database and once in a while they would ask if I was interested in going on a date with one of their customers (I guess this was either a service where only women paid, or I at the very least wasn't a customer they were working for but connected with me when it made sense for them.) What I quickly realized is that it's still not a great model. The match maker promised the women at least X dates per month, and the benefit was that setting them up with me let them check off that box (I am professional, good looking, not crazy, etc.) but I ended up declining to meet these women, or after a first date. The reason is that as paying customers of the match maker, they were also a bit too far into the "oh shit it's almost too late territory" and wasn't what I was looking for. I guess the point I am making is that the high paid matchmaker can screen-out the obvious shit for you, but the flip side is you're now "someone who needs a match maker" and that's limiting too. Coincidentally, I met my wife pretty randomly on a swipe. Had an OK date with her, but decided she was a good woman so I called her back. After our second date I decided to give it a real go, and deleted the apps. Two kids now.
