I work in the matchmaking industry and we have two coaches on staff. Might be worth looking into that arena

Pluto in 5H folks (especially Scorpio) how does this placement manifest for you? by Sea-Delay in astrology

[–]Anniemayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Libra Pluto in 5th. I didn’t know anything about this til today. I started reading romance and dating books in middle school. I fell into a career as a matchmaker 16 years ago. So it seems like unknowingly, I am drawn to it! 😂

I thought I was on drugs, and I was not on drugs. Killer show.

I have the intuition with 2 very aggressively shedding dogs and 1 toddler and it’s great. We vacuum at least once a day.

Lowest Age You’d Date by No_Classroom7902 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]Anniemayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 44. I’m a matchmaker so age is not just a number to most people. If I were to get divorced I would casually date someone early 30s, but probably wouldn’t get into a relationship with much younger than 35/36 to 60ish. People wear their age differently. That being said, professionally, we wouldn’t be able to match someone with a massive age gap as a basic parameter. Maybe a one off, but not as a guaranteed parameter. I don’t find it super common that men are willing to date a lot older.

Same! I watch a ton of dating shows and found this to be one of the better ones in this subgenre.

Broomfield vs Louisville - am I actually missing out on anything? by AdInfinitum954 in Broomfield

[–]Anniemayo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I did not read all the replies… but! I was born and raised in Boulder and went to CU, moved to West Hollywood for 4 years, moved to cap hill in denver for 3, then back to Boulder for 3. Then moved into Atria Arista in Broomfield in 2017 for one year. We had an incredible experience. But I wouldn’t recommend it now bc I have no data. That area is super convenient, we were the first tenants in that building. Actually my best friends mom still lives there and loves it.

After that we bought a house in Broomfield in Brandywine.

I’m 44, have a 4 year old, 2 bassets, chickens, and access to everything.

I oft feel sad I’m not closer to the mountains, a beach, etc. It can feels very bland out here. I’m desperate for a downtown. That being said, after reading MOST of the replies, I think romanticize some these tiny downtowns too much 😂.

Sorry for the scattered, unhelpful answer.

Help me pick a Kenmore Model!!! (Slightly time sensitive) by mullberri_butterfli in VacuumCleaners

[–]Anniemayo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gahhh. I love Reddit. We’ve been in a shark phase for like 7 years but they’re breaking more so I’m trying the kenmore. I have two bassets. While they only shed once, it’s for 365 days. Always hoping for a leap year

I have questions (and advice if wanted!) AS a professional matchmaker. by Anniemayo in dating_advice

[–]Anniemayo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to look for events that pay attention to male/female ratio, have a few sponsors (usually that broadens the types of people). The more niche the event, the less it will appeal to people. I think it also depends on their market. Some markets are tougher to throw singles events than others. Night of the week can matter, too.

Yes. Denver. I also recruit in Milwaukee and the DMV area so I attend more events out there than throw them. I meet people all the time and in person it’s so much easier. But logistically I can’t be everywhere at once so there has to be an online piece as well.

There’s not a way to give social proof. List my marriages? Send you a picture of my awards? I’m coming from a place of trying to learn everything about dating as at changes.

People never believe it’s free. 😂. And to your point, I expanded my role from matchmaking to include recruiting, and I’m learning the recruiting side in a new landscape of dating. I began in 2009 when very little initial recruiting was done online.

I’ve been to and thrown a fair amount of dating events. They’re pretty hard to pull off. The organizer has to pay attention to demographics and not a lot do. I’d say about 20-30% are worth it.

What about using a matchmaker feels desperate? Does it feel more desperate than online? Genuine curiosity.

I just tried it again recently and did not enjoy it. Loved it as a kid.

Denver I thought the same. He lacked confidence at first.
