People keep telling me that dating today is a war zone, facing all kinds of challenges.

Dating apps don’t seem to be directly trying to help solve the problem as much as generate revenue. In fact, they are very directly motivated to not make great long term matches.

Some people seem think that just getting out there and hoping for the best is the answer. Maybe that’s true, but it’s still very random. I was wondering about a hypothetical alternative:

What if you could go to an agency of some kind get rated through a thorough evaluation process? Would that be helpful ? It’s not perfect, and many things are hard to measure. But maybe it’s a less random starting point and can escape the exclusively money driven approach of dating apps.

    Matchmaking agencies are actually still a real thing. You can pay them to have an actual person look at your file and set you up with other people who apply to the agency. Its expensive but can absolutely be worth it depending on how good the matchmaker is.
