Here\u2019s something you probably wouldn\u2019t expect a matchmaking company to ever say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Matchmaking services are not for everyone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Wait, what? Yes, you heard that correctly. Matchmaking services may not be the right fit for everyone. There\u2019s no magical play on words here or anything like that; this is exactly what we\u2019re trying to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this mean matchmaking services aren\u2019t worth it? Absolutely not. For the right person with the right goals, matchmaking services can be the dream solution to helping you find love. The reality is, when you hire one of the best matchmaking services<\/a> out there, you\u2019re tapping into one of the greatest ways to find someone special while protecting your time, your emotions, your privacy, and your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But only if it\u2019s the right fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the question we\u2019re going to be answering today isn\u2019t so much whether matchmaking services are worth it across the board, but more so are matchmaking services worth it for you<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Women\n\n\n\n

Your goals are going to frame the answer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deciding if matchmaking services are worth it starts with looking at your goals (and thankfully, this is a really simple one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

If you\u2019re not serious about finding a real relationship or are just looking to date super casually, matchmaking services are not going to be worth it for you. Period.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But if you are ready to find someone special, want to be intentional about the process, and care about things like safety, privacy, and protecting your time (we\u2019ll talk more about these in a minute), then matchmaking services are almost certainly going to be worth it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this mean you have to be ready to get married tomorrow and can\u2019t have fun throughout the process? Absolutely not! This point is more about your long-term goals and an openness to something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It matters which matchmaking service you hire.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if matchmaking services fit perfectly with your goals, not every matchmaker out there is going to be worth it. It matters immensely on which matchmaker you hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we wish it weren\u2019t the case, not every matchmaking service can live up to what it claims or even what they think they\u2019re capable of. Too often, we\u2019ve seen matchmakers and matchmaking services that ignore client wants just to deliver on a quota, bite off more than they can chew by juggling too many clients, and promising more than they can deliver on because they don\u2019t have the resources, experience, and track record to deliver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yikes, right? Well, thankfully there is an answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Day Rule<\/a> is an experienced and trusted group of rock star matchmakers that has been serving clients across the US for over 15 years. The best part is Three Day Rule gives you the chance to work with the absolute best in the business all at an affordable price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Day Rule gets to know you, learns about your wants and needs, and never sends you matches just to meet a quota. You get the intimate, one-on-one service you\u2019d expect from a boutique matchmaker, but it\u2019s backed by the powerful national resources of a brand that can get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost is a factor, but it\u2019s not as cut and dry as you\u2019d think.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anytime you\u2019re discussing if something is \u201cworth it\u201d or not, you would be remiss to not consider the cost. Yes, matchmaking services do, at least on the surface, cost more than a dating app or just waiting and hoping to run into the right person. Dating apps typically run you a few hundred dollars whereas matchmaking services start at a few thousand dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it\u2019s a higher price tag. However, whether it\u2019s truly more expensive or worth it requires a deeper look. When you compare dating apps vs matchmakers<\/a>, you\u2019ll start to see some things. Dating apps take hours of your time every day, often result in a lot more bad dates (that cost time and money), and aren\u2019t as effective in getting results, which usually means much more time on them and a lot more headache and heartache. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start to weigh these things into the equation, the pricing gap between the two starts to shrink pretty quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy needs can make matchmaking services so worth it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you create a dating profile, anyone and everyone who creates an account on that dating app can see your information and pictures. Additionally, anyone who wants to message you, generally can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a privacy perspective, this might not be what you\u2019re looking for, especially if you\u2019re someone who has clients or employees, may be well known in the community, or just prefers to keep their private life, well, private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hire a matchmaking service, you don\u2019t have a public profile that is plastered all over the internet. Your matchmaker works discreetly to help you find great matches without needing to expose everything about you to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If privacy is important to you, a matchmaking service is probably going to be worth it for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matchmaking services are designed to protect your time.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest reasons people find matchmaking services worth it is time. Research has shown that people tend to spend several hours a day on dating apps creating their profile, scrolling through matches, sending messages, responding to messages, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have several extra hours a day to spend on this process, great. But, if you\u2019re like the rest of us that have other things we\u2019d much rather be doing, then there\u2019s a cost associated here. The opportunity cost of this is a lot bigger than some people might initially consider when doing a cost or value analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hire a personal matchmaker, they do the work for you. They get to know you, and then they go find your matches. They vet the matches, they gauge interest, they reach out on your behalf, and they handle everything, so you just have to show up and have a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s who matchmaking services are not worth it for.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, as you can hopefully now see, these factors mean that hiring a personal matchmaker may not be the right fit for everyone. Specifically, here are the groups that we feel it might not be the best fit for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
