Would you ever go to a professional matchmaker?
Anyone have any experiences with professional matchmakers? Did you get better matches from them than from friends and relatives?

The one profiled on 60 Minutes found some really hot prospects. But then, your parents had to give her a brownstone in NY to get her to set you up. How many guys this lucky would be posting here. |

None of the above. I'd trust that about as much as I would trust someone going out on my behalf to buy the perfect fitting jean.

Too expensive, I wouldn't. My cousin who owns his own business and does VERY well went to a professional matchmaker- I think they saw the dollarsigns when he walked in. He's a 47 year old wealthy Greek man with an architectural Design company in Queens (NY) and they charged him $3,000.00 and he said he received 1 normal date with no chemistry and 7 freaky dates looking for a sugardaddy. He is still single, 4 years later.

No, its basically a blind date. Who doesnt know an older female who thinks she has the perfect find for you. If your a doctor its one of her relatives.

Are there any non-professional matchmakers out there anymore? I just normally buy that brand with the diamond on it.  |
