Open to those interested in being matched with our members. Participants complete the brief profile ‘Be Matched with a Member’ box on top of the home page and will be contacted if/when a Premium member is looking for someone like them. Coaching is available to Participants at the Non-Member rate. Please note that matches are not guaranteed.
Read MoreThe Basic Membership is a more affordable way to participate. Similar to a database participant, Basic members do not have matches selected for them but are matched when a Premium member is seeking someone like them. However, the matchmaker gets to know each Basic member in person so that they are known and the first candidates when looking to match Premium members. In addition, membership provides a discount on coaching, and Basic members are given the option to pay for individual matches. These matches are available when another Basic member or Database Participant is identified as a potential match. Please note that matches are not guaranteed with this membership.
Read MorePremium Membership is the traditional approach to matchmaking. It’s what we envision a matchmaker to be. Matches are carefully selected for these members based on their specific desires and needs. If no suitable matches are found in the database, matchmakers actively search for individuals who meet their criteria. Matches are guaranteed with this membership, and the number is based on the term of the membership. Premium members receive coaching at the discounted rate for members.
Read MoreNationwide Membership is the same as the Premium Membership but is exclusively for those outside of the NYC metro region. Since there is no database available, all matches will be searched for based on the member’s desires and needs. Coaching is offered at the discounted rate for members.
Read MoreNOTE: Apart from Nationwide Membership, understanding the membership demographics is crucial in determining your level of participation. There is a 15:1 ratio; indicating there are 15 male members for every female member. As a result, men have a low chance of getting a match as a (free) database participant or even as a basic member. However, As a Basic member, purchasing matches is suggested to yield better outcomes. Ultimately, Premium membership offers the best opportunity for success. However, this isn’t to imply that men should avoid adding themselves to the database as (free) database participants instead of taking no other action.
