When Dating Felt Like A Job, One Woman Hired A Matchmaker

If there is one universal claim about dating, it's that it's tough out there.

With online dating apps on mobile phones, it's easier than ever to find new people — but that takes time. Filling out dating profiles, swiping through matches and going on dates can be all-consuming and frustrating.

That's how it felt for Kat McClain, a 26-year-old attorney based in Los Angeles, who considers herself a long-time user of dating apps. After law school in Illinois, she moved to LA and entered the dating scene. She updated her online profiles and went on dates, but ultimately wasn't meeting the right match.

"I had a really scattershot approach to who I was going out with," she says. "I was getting burnt out, I was bored. It felt like another job, and I definitely don't need another job, I work enough."

Feeling exhausted and discouraged, in October McClain sought the help of a professional, personalized matchmaking service called Three Day Rule — but not the Fiddler-on-the-Roof, Yenta-type. Three Day Rule and other matchmaking companies like it take a modern approach — finding matches for their clients and offering date coaching while also helping to optimize online profiles.

The frustrations of online dating may have actually made way for modern matchmaking companies. For example, Pew finds that one in five online daters has asked for help — generally from a friend — with their profile and 31 percent say that online dating keeps people from settling down because there are always options.

McClain told her matchmaker, Alexa Geistman, what she was looking for a serious relationship, and they spent months getting to know each other. Then Geistman went to work.

"I meet every single match in person. I ask them all the tough questions," Geistman says. "I really get to know the people and make sure that they're like-minded."

The company also has a database of 90,000 singles — and partnerships with online dating companies like Match, OkCupid, Christian Mingle and J-Date.

The service doesn't come cheap. McClain paid around $ 6,000 for a package that got her six dates over six months — as well as Geistman's personalized support and advice.

Judging by the comments from you guys... Hope you all look like the hot guy at the gym because your comments are really shallow so you clearly fancy yourselves as being all that! No wonder she isn’t interested in the likes of you all, you sound too brain dead for this intellect!

Don’t blame her for going out and paying to avoid the drop kicks she’d meet especially if their main focus was looking for a perfect 10!

Looking at her photo, If she payed 6k for a really good personal trainer and a gym membership and a great diet and did the hard work she would be a real smoke show and probably get asked out left right and center from way better guys that shes finding online.
the hard work is not working out and losing weight

p.s- you are gross.

Get off your high horses, you know I speak the truth.


Who is to say she hasn't found an average looking guy with a good enough job who is also smart enough.....?



That surprisingly is hard to find.

Good looking guys are usually boring and or douches who may not make enough money.

----

I must out myself as a lesbian btw

all of my opinions are based on former friends who used dating sites to find their current partners.

One is married and the other one has been with the guy for 3 years.

Not necessarily.

You assume guys are turning her down which is why she hasn't found a match.

It could be the other way around...especially with that law degree.

Girls aren't so much into looks as they are into personality as well as status.
well then she is so dumb she deserves to be screwed over....
click to expand

personality and status is not superficial

status (which i should rephrase as ambitious , planning and money management skills)

and personality are super important in terms of predicting longevity in terms of marriage.



looks fade. guys still don't get that.

a compatible personality = effective communication = a great marriage

ambition , planning , money management = a more comfortable life for you two as well as your future family

money and status ...doesn't matter tho..you can lose it ...and in the middle of the night its not much use..

i agree

you can lose it but that's why it is important to be with someone who can plan and save!!

which goes hand in hand with "status".

my parents have terrible money management skills which made my life so much harder.....

I'll bet you there are 10 more women with law degree's in her office in their twenties who all work out and are all dating high status men. Just looking at her face/skin tells me she would look amazing if she took care of her body, like really amazing. I'm sorry, but men see these things. T

I'm really not out here to call her fat and ugly and all that, I genuinely feel like she could do allot better for herself than a spending her hard earned money on paying some 'Matchmaker' to do what her body is designed to do by millions of years of evolution. When she feels better about herself she's going to do better at work and in life and attract better men into her life. But what do I know, I'm just a loser at my computer dashing out criticism. .
click to expand

so many assumptions

i agree exercise is important but you as a man do not know what it is like to be her

i don't know because i am not her but as a woman i can tell you that these expectations that men have do not get fulfilled by just having a great diet and working out......

women develop eating disorders

they get plastic surgery

they go into debt buying clothes they do not need

getting facials etc

whilst men do not have the same pressures to conform to unrealistic photoshopped images....

and that's gross.

women who are doctors and lawyers look like her i hate to break it to you...some maybe slimmer but overall they do not like like photoshopped instagram models.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble.

High paying professions eat up a lot of free time ( so you possible can't work out for multiple hours every day) , as well as get 8 hours of sleep ( which is crucial for weight management) and increases stress which leads to weight gain , bad skin and a host of other more serious health issues.

I don't get why you see a man as a ticket to money? And don't go oh ..I have my own..yeah right.

Any man or woman who has money ..nay not even HAS money yet but BELIEVES in the own ability to make money...doesn't NEED to worry about how much their partner makes.

YOU are all you need in that way...

In a partner ..focus on just finding passion and a good person.
click to expand

I don't

I'm gay.

But something I have learned from my parents failed relationships

is that class matters.

Both of my parents married hustlers who did not have college degrees in their 40s.

My mother's marriage lasted 3 months but her life took a turn because of her now ex husband.

My dad is still married but is estranged from his wife who was really a gold digger.

All she did was invest in her looks and my dad fell for that.

I don't place value over let's say a one profession over another...however I do believe that

marrying someone who does not value the same thing you do can create unnecessary strain is real

marriage originally was a business contract

there was a reason for that.

Men will fuck anything ...she is being fussy...

click to expand

fucking and commitment ( aka respect and companionship from a man) are two very different things

the latter is very hard to obtain even if you are considered to be really attractive by the guy....especially if he is a young guy and or a very rich guy

an average looking guy with an average income who is aging ( late 30s) will try to put a ring on a girl he thinks is a 10...even possible a 7+ ( a good personality , job etc)

I'm giving sound advice here, Fitness is good for you, its fucking science.

Btw my GP has a fantastic body...

click to expand

Yeah i didn't negate the fact that exercise is good for you

I negated your assumption is that she does not exercise based on her appearance in this photo.

She looks like half of the people who go to my gym that i see 3-4 times a week.

and who cares that your GP is a but her face lol

does she look like a TV doctor? No of course not.

let me be a little bit more clear

my dad's wife chased men all her life instead of going to school and developing herself so that she could take care of her family / future partner



my mom did the opposite.

when i met my dad's wife before he married her i knew she would not be a great partner because of what i mentioned above

you can be a creative person but if you have kids i think you have to take on responsibility which may mean going to school and trying to get a secure job so that you can take care of them.

i've thought long and hard about this.

i could marry an artist who was penniless if and only if we did not have kids and or moved somewhere in which finances didn't affect quality of life ( Norway , Sweden Denmark , Canada , Australia) as much....



this not the reality in the U.S.

Finances do affect quality of life in Canada. In fact its very expensive to live here. I'm not sure why people think any different?

Australia is also expensive.



click to expand

It is not cheap to live in Canada relative to other parts in the world however you can be happier ( due to better resources and support ) and make less unlike here in the U.S.



Being poor here for a lot of people is literally a death sentence.

That is not necessarily the case in Canada.

As a lawyer, she's obviously too busy to meet men. That beggars the question of whether she'd be able to nurture a serious relationship.

Maybe she needs to question her mindset and priorities, before foolishly thinking that money can buy her love...



You don't know any married female attorneys? I know two real estate attorneys, both married for a long time. One has two youngish children and the other has four teenage children. They both rock at balancing work and family life, I admire them...

I think you're all missing the point, she didn't go to a matchmaker to get a date because she couldn't find one, or because she's lazy or too fat to get one herself, or because she couldn't get laid, from what the article says she just wasn't finding people she liked(subjective here! stop projecting). And she didn't pay for a date, she ended up paying for the coaching, for resetting her ways of weeding-out potential dates, for a lesson on online dating and how to present yourself in digital form. Ultimately, it looks like a case in efficiency, she recognized her ways of online dating were getting her nowhere and she went out to fix it.

As a lawyer, she's obviously too busy to meet men. That beggars the question of whether she'd be able to nurture a serious relationship.

Maybe she needs to question her mindset and priorities, before foolishly thinking that money can buy her love...

I'm not saying it isn't possible but she obviously wasn't investing enough time to find someone suitable. Either that or she was simply impatient. Either way, that doesn't bode well...

That's why she was paying for the convenience of having the filtering done for her. I don't believe in it, but there must be some positive outcomes or people wouldn't utilize these services... I'm curious what the success rates are of these matchmaking businesses?

Exactly.

Also I find it funny how people are reacting to the 6k price tag. It’s not about the 6 dates, it’s the 6 months of service she paid for. 6k seems pretty cheap actually.

She’s a successful lawyer, she can afford it.

One of my clients is an attorney with her own practice. She has 3 kids under the age of 11, loving husband. Because they both work I’ve had all my meetings with them in the evening and have gotten to observe the family dynamic. It is possible to succeed in your personal life and career. You CAN have it all.

Right? It's basically a six-month class
