The Social: Modern Matchmaking

I hate dating apps and find them somewhat limiting and dehumanizing. I tried this out as an…read morealternative. I still believe a good matchmaking service could save professionals so much time - they just need to be executed better. NOTE: I only paid to be IN the database (I think this was $200 or $250 - no guaranteed dates but you have a shot at being set up with a paid client), and never paid the higher fee to be set up on a date. Pros: The meetups ARE good! You have a chance to meet and hit it off with someone in real life, and they set these up for various age ranges. I did go on a date with a guy I met at one of these meet ups. We had a lot in common but not quite a romantic spark. Cons: I was reached out to about 2 dates. I don't think you ever get a photo prior to the set up. The first person was a 52 year old man. I am 34, and this was outside my age range (+/- 5 years), so I turned it down. The second one I accepted, but honestly I should have asked more questions. I never got this man's age and assumed he'd be within my range given I turned down the first one but he appeared to be 50s as well (just a guess), was VERY socially awkward, and since I agreed to the set up I felt it would be rude to leave early. Had I known the guys age or had a photo - I would never have accepted. From this experience, I actually feel like going to meetups or using the apps ARE better options. I am able to at least see a photo beforehand (which can save SO much time and awkwardness), and get important points such as age, marital status, etc up front. I ended up meeting my SO on a popular app, which consequently is how Abby met hers per her podcast, Ghosted, where she does have interesting guests and share advice.

I have been a fully paid client of social matchmaking. I have to say I'm impressed. 20 years ago,…read morewhen I wanted to get married and have kids, I hired another matchmaker in Denver and I felt it was a bit of bait and switch. Because of that experience, I was much more circumspect going in. This time. I interviewed over 12 different matchmakers. Abby was the only one who had a formal process and methodology. Her references also told me that she was very ethical. In short, I discovered that matchmaking is a seedy business, but Abby is the top in her field and really once the best value match for everyone Keep in mind, she can't determine chemistry. Only you can. But what she can do is determine a values match. And everyday I've been on so far reflects that. The men she introduces to me, a quality, quality men and are aligned with what I'm looking for. If you're still on the fence, then I implore you to listen to a number of her podcasts. That really helped me get to know her, understand how she is a constant learner, and helped me hone what I was looking for before I plunked down the fee to work with her.

Reached out to ask questions based on yelp comments and reviews…read more I was told that she has very educated men who are doctors, surgeons and very sophisticated. Based on my sound and grammar I was not a good candidate. She never met me or asked any questions to vet me. Even though I am highly educated. I believe that Michelle made her decision based on dialect and not intellectual status. But her narrow scope is which probably lends to her success, it seems like and good candidate would be rich ,education and of European /Caucasian decent. Good luck if you meet her standards if her stats are correct you are in good hands. Update: I changed my rating based on a second phone with Michelle that was more In depth. It was very informative, honest, and insightful. She is truly dedicated to her clients and intune with their interests and desires of the heart. She is not in this business for the money and will not waste your time. Thanks Michelle

Save your money. While I believe Michelle is sincere, she also blows a lot of smoke to sell the…read moreservice. I debated whether or not to employ her - my thought process, dating is a numbers game (as much as she denies it, but it's reality), the more people you meet the better the chances. How can an independent, working out of her home, adding no real value, have a large clientele? She doesn't. Once you begin with her, it feels just like filling out an online dating application. Her only real value add is commenting on picture quality, and maybe, offering a female perspective on style. She was critical of my pictures (you need to smile more), even tho' I've received plenty of attention on other services with the same images. I'm a +6', successful male, attractive, very fit, and financially secure. She suggests she has a rigorous screening process, and yes, some of the women were accomplished in their fields (but honestly, that's not all that important to men), but there are other clients loaded with tattoos - not what I'd expect from a "selective" service. I might have looked at 20 profiles, not one I'd classify as a "maybe". If you're looking for a quality woman, this isn't the venue. Over 2 years, not one date. To her credit she kept in contact (1 email/6mo), but unless you need a lot of coaching, you are much better off with the apps as dismal as they are.

I've been in Michele's service for close to three years. While I haven't met the right guy yet, I…read moreknow that Michele is still looking for me--that is the value of signing up with a legitimate matchmaker with an open-ended contract. It gives you time until the right person appears. The men I have met through her service are high quality individuals. Who knows, maybe the next guy I meet through her service will be my last first date. :) Michele is also ethical and won't accept clients who she knows won't fit in with her clientele. In my mind, this makes her really trustworthy. She is direct, incredibly supportive and empathetic--she genuinely cares about her clients and the service she provides. I know she has my best interests in mind because she vets potential clients. Her service is very hands on and she coaches her clients--so you have to be able to communicate honestly with good rapport. She has been doing this for 30 years. This is her calling. Only a person confident in their service and with a strong track record of success would offer an open-ended contract (all the other local services in town contract for a certain period of time and charge, in my humble opinion, confiscatory amounts). Her website has a ton of great information and the goal isn't to provide you with a million matches. The goal is to zero in on what her clients are looking for and for them to find a strong connection with one of the first few people they meet. We are so fortunate to have such a fantastic legitimate matchmaker in town. If you are reading her website and going through reviews and think this could be a good fit for you--give her a call!

From the owner: Clients love the open-ended contract, the wealth of pictures and information they receive on each…read moreand every client, the hands-on feedback and coaching from me (their matchmaker) and especially the fact that I look strictly for clients who fit what my clientele is searching for, not just income from anyone who calls.
