Benefits of Matchmaking

The Benefits of Matchmaking
People employing various mechanisms for finding love
should consider the large difference between subscribing to a
dating service and hiring a matchmaker. While a dating service
allows the members to find their matches, a matchmaker
chooses the matches for them.
It would be nice to just magically meet that special
someone, but many people have life circumstances and busy
schedules that just don't allow the time essential for such.
Mary Ann Siersdale, co-founder and President of the famous
"Lunch Couples Company" believes that people don't get a
chance to meet others, as most of them are busy with their
work or nurturing their children. She has created a service
that facilitates lunch meetings with like- mined individuals.
There is certainly a plethora of dating services available on
the Internet such as Match. com, Eharmony.com,
Matchmaker.com, Yahoo personals, Love AOL, Date.com,
Kiss.com. They were all founded by people who acknowledge
the difficulty of meeting people in real world settings, implying
that bars and clubs may not be the most suitable place to go
looking for love. While many clients are happy with dating
services, there are others who have understood the need for
something more.
Thus, despite the appeal of selecting one's own potential
dates, many find hiring a professional matchmaker to be more
effective. When members get a chance to choose their match,
the decision is based entirely on the profile sent by a person
who has typically portrayed himself in the most positive light.
A matchmaker, who gets to know clients personally, is more
likely to offer an unbiased opinion of a person. Matchmakers
have the knowledge to realistically highlight a person's
strengths and provide insight on their weaknesses. The
detailed information matchmakers have on the personality
and preferences of both parties make for an assessment of
compatibility that is far more accurate than that of a computer
alone. Advanced technology, without a human touch, is not
the best way for singles to find love. Since there is so much
more to compatibility, that matching up on certain categories,
there is a need for a personal relationship between a
matchmaker and a client. This relationship is what provides
many a matchmaker the "hunch" to match up a happy couple
that a dating site would have never put together!
Secondly, matchmakers are known for their efficiency as they
often take people into their network who already match the
unique criteria of the group that they are working with. Unlike
many dating sites that may accept people who are unlikely
matches for current members, matchmakers provide a more
personalized service. They generally know whether they have
members who fit you right at the moment they accept you as
a member.
Lastly, one of the main advantages of trusting a matchmaker
is that this person would have such a comprehensive
understanding of one's preferences and thus be automatically
able to rule out inappropriate matches. With the right
matchmaker, one can save a lot of time, energy, money and
even heartbreak. The key is finding a good matchmaker, as
all matchmakers are not created equal. If one desires good
service, he should do his research and give careful
consideration to the initial fee. Higher prices do not always
equate better services. Personal attention from a dedicated
individual is what most people are finding from matchmakers.
In many instances, matchmakers are far more successful than
dating services in helping people find love.
