Dating, Relationship Advice, Personals

I'm a big fan of Indian Matchmaking, and have also recently finished watching Jewish Matchmaking. Here are a few takeaways:

1. 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.

2. Most people who engage a matchmaker are serious about getting married and having kids. A small percentage are in the "see what happens" demographic.

3. I like how you present your list of requirements and expectations upfront.

4. 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?
