Yes! My friend just got engaged this year and her hairdresser was the one who set her up with a very nice gentleman, in her age range, shared values, etc... but I was thinking back to the old days of matchmaking and where the families were typically part of introducing people.

Bartenders can set people up well. So can UPS drivers.

Anybody who sees a lot of people.

It is considered nice to invite the matchmaker to the wedding, although they might not go. It is considered nice to try to pay them, or buy them something. Some do it as a real job and tell you what they expect to be paid. Some do it just for the honor of service.

PatriotDate is a great name.

No substitute for Meeting ppl in real life organically

Still know lotta guys who met their wife online.

OKCupid I was on till April in covid. It's nothing but liberals and feminists. The few based attractive women you'll encounter that are into hunting and fishing and 2 parent households...unless you're someone who can compete in the upper echelon of the male hierarchy you're not getting one as a gf potentially spouse because they're matching with firefighters cops and wealthier guys.

I'm funny as fuck though so it works out.

Don't give up! I was dating a MLB pitcher when I met my husband (a delivery driver). He was cute, stable and fucking hilarious. We both grew up poor and worked hard together to get where we are today.

I can't deny it was really tough to have the car loan people calling me to collect a late payment as I'm seeing my ex sign a 7-figure trade deal in the news. But I don't regret my decision or the fun memories.

We accept the love we think we deserve. Don't settle for less than what you deserve! My ex was an unfunny asshole, no amount of money would make me live my life over again with that nightmare.

Wish we could go to bars. We still have all the Covid 25% indoor capacity restrictions (which most bars can't stay open for), and outdoors is a no-go until like April when it starts warming up.
