I’m a big fan of Indian Matchmaking, and have also recently finished watching Jewish Matchmaking. Here are a few takeaways:
-
These shows focus on a very specific culture, where a key feature is not having to explain to a potential partner the complexities of their culture.
-
Most people who engage a matchmaker are serious about getting married and having kids. A small percentage are in the “see what happens” demographic.
-
I like how you present your list of requirements and expectations upfront.
-
Even when most of your requirements are there, it could still lack chemistry and fail. A majority of the matches you see on screen don’t appear to have lasted past the TV show.
Would you consider engaging a professional matchmaker? Have you done this? What are your thoughts or experiences?
Is speed dating match making adjacent? I got blocked by an organizer a few months ago for asking more info on how much the speed dating session was. She said as a professional, I would be able to afford it. 🌚 Lots of condescending back and forth and then I got blocked.
Not gonna try that again. Right now, I’m having fun on an app. Dating at my mid 30s is really something else lol. Possibly going serious with one.
There could be minimal screening for age range and other basic criteria, but speed dating is just giving people a limited amount of time to swap vibes with another person before they decide if they would like to see the other person again. For matchmaking, I expect a more thorough screening.
But your experience sounds rather dodgy, like she was screening for people who have the money.
No, and probably will not, because i’m poor and also doesn’t want to give people hard time finding non-existing thing
Not answering the question but I love Indian Matchmaking, but didn’t finish Jewish one. Sima Aunty is so watchable
consider yes actually going no lack of self confidence probably will end up in disappointment in the end
