Matchmakers rely on questionnaires, interviews and instinct to decide which clients to bring together. 1 of 3
As layoffs mount, portfolios shrink and headlines become gloomier, many singles may be finding the harsh reality of having no one to lean on during the economic crisis unbearable. Some are intensifying their search for love, triggering a boom for matchmakers who are putting a modern spin on the ancient practice of bringing people together. "People shift their focus in times of economic uncertainty to the things that are sustainable and the things that get them through, and I think that always comes down to relationships," said Ann Robbins, founder and CEO of LifeWorks Matchmaking in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "People have an absolute need to love and to be loved. That's really, at the end of the day, that's what you have." Robbins said her number of clients doubled in the first quarter of 2009, compared with the previous quarter. She attributed the rise in part to people re-evaluating their lives during periods of stress and trouble. Watch Robbins give advice about love » Lyle, a 38-year-old financial consultant who lives in New York, became a client about five months ago. (He asked that his last name not be used in this report for privacy reasons.) He reached out to a matchmaker because his busy schedule makes it hard to meet people and online dating didn't feel right for him, he said. "It always helps to have someone to lean on in life, and it's great to have someone to share great times with, but when times are tough as they are right now, it certainly helps all the more," he said. See what matchmakers say are the worst mistakes men and women make while dating » 'Something to look forward to' Online matchmaking site eHarmony.com is also seeing increased interest. From September 2008 to January 2009, monthly registrations rose an average of 20 percent, compared with the same time period the prior year, according to eHarmony CEO Greg Waldorf. Hiring a matchmakerHere are some questions to ask if you are thinking of going to a matchmaker: • What are your qualifications and background? • How are clients screened and interviewed? • Do you meet everyone in person, including potential matches? • How do clients get matched up? • Do clients get to see an in-depth profile or bio along with a photo? • How many clients do you have in your database? • Is there a minimum or maximum number of matches that I can receive? • How does communication between the client and matchmaker take place, i.e. phone, e-mail? • How does your company define success?Source: Matchmaking Institute Matchmakers aren't surprised they are staying busy during the recession. "I think that as people go through more difficult times, being alone becomes more difficult," said Patti Novak, owner of Buffalo Niagara Introductions in Buffalo, New York. "[Even] if they can only afford popcorn and a six-pack on a Saturday night, they'd rather do it with somebody than alone," she added. Novak, who is the author of "Get Over Yourself!" and starred in the A&E reality series "Confessions of a Matchmaker," has seen a 30 percent increase in clients in the last eight months, she said. Recent sign-ups include Melissa, a 39-year-old Buffalo, New York, resident who joined the matchmaking service in December. (Melissa asked that her last name not be used in this report for privacy reasons.) She has since been matched with about seven "really nice people," leading to a number of dates and making it easier to cope with the possibility that her job could be in jeopardy because of the bad economy, Melissa said. "It actually brings a brighter part to my day to know that I've made an investment for myself that has had great returns already. So it's a very positive feeling and something to look forward to after a very stressful workday," she said. iReport.com: What would you ask a matchmaker? Comfort of love Mental health experts say turbulent periods can heighten people's need for love and companionship. "In tough times, you activate your coping mechanisms, and one way to cope is to connect more with people and to get more social support," said Nadine Kaslow, a professor at Emory University School of Medicine and chief psychologist at Grady Health System in Atlanta, Georgia. Don't Miss In Depth: Money & Main St. Some people looking for emotional support may also be considering the financial benefits of pairing up. One mortgage is easier than two, and a couple can stay afloat even if only one person is working. But Kaslow cautioned singles against rushing into things. "When people are really stressed, sometimes their judgment isn't as good as it should be," she said. "Sometimes they think something is better than nothing but they don't really think about the pros and cons of the something." Matchmakers say one of the benefits of their services is that clients are screened so there are no surprises when introductions take place. "You know already if they've been married -- once, never or 15 times. You know whether they have kids, are smokers, what their religious background is," said Beatrice Gruss, founder of Traditional Matchmakers in Atlanta, Georgia. About 1,500 independent matchmakers operate in the United States, according to the Matchmaking Institute, which offers training and certification. Most rely on questionnaires, interviews and instinct to get a sense of a client's perfect match. Fees can vary from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, and clients can typically expect a couple of matches a month. For singles yearning to find love, matchmakers can be of value, but there's no one right way to look for a relationship, experts advised. "You need to look at who is available in your social world already," Kaslow said. "I think it's always useful to ask friends and other people to help set you up. But there's a value to these online dating services and there is a value to matchmaking, and I think if you really want a relationship, you try one or more of these options and see what works for you."
What is going on? this ginger has snapped. (ha! a pun!) But seriously, i am starting to feel bad for her. When you are gingerfabulous, there is a lot of responsibility, and this girl obviously could not take it. Being a brat a spoiled brat is going to chase a way the men, but it is gonna chase away the women too! Not even being ginger can save you from that. She needs to stop her bitching, crying and scene making and shape up. If i was samro, i would break up with her diva ass too. The latest is stating that the ronsons now have a restraining order against her after she tried to force her way into a party. You have got to admit thats a little sad....
Is there really no one else for you to party with? I mean, i get it, i dont think i would want to party with her either. that would be like a ginger diva massacre, gingerfoxxx vs. lohan. There is also a story that she tried to bust her way into a random hotel party that same night, only to be locked out of the room. seriously? thats some dramz right there. I would be crawling into a hole if some one booted me from their hotel party. People love having gingerfoxxx at their hotel parties (*see previous post) Anyway, that girl is in desperate need of a vay-cay far away from the tabloids because she is digging herself one hell of a grave right now.
On the upside, she finally returned to being full ginger, and got new extensions so that she doesnt look like such a crackhead anymore. Although i must point out, my stunning head of hair is all natural. BITCHES!
At least in the light of tragedy she is looking good. After all, the only thing that really matters in life is looking fabulous.
No, no, its not porn sequel. But actually, it was surprisingly close. The intent of going to Minneapolis was not for sexy parties at all actually (you go to miami for that!) It was for design, yea! gingerfoxxx even got to present a panel on discussion on meaning! such boringness though, most importantly i go to show off my ginger-fabulousness and network! (my middle name isn't party for nothing!) There was an awesome opening party at Worrell design. The space was awesome, giant loft like, with exposed ceilings and what not. you could almost envision people dancing on the balcony parts. It would have been a perfect club. Also, they had kegs of PBR ANDDDDD red party cups. this ginger was in heaven. But most importantly, in her element! Our group ended up meeting up with some design boys from kansas, and let me tell you, people know how to party in Kansas. We ended up at a pub right across the street from where Brittany Spears was playing that night. (love it!) rumor has it she was even in our hotel! We ended up ditching the pub for a more hipster friendly atmosphere. Our hipster cries for cheap beers rang though the streets of minneapolis, but went unanswered. So instead we ended up at a bro bar near the hotel. But alas, gingerfoxxx can party anywhere. it was a good night.
Surprisingly, the next day i was up bright and early looking charming and refreshed. (even a few hours of sleep and a hangover trump not sleeping for three days and 10 hours on a bus.......next time i fly first class bitches.) Day two involved being studious and focused. Until happy hour. The lady there made me dirty martinis! Everyone knows that is gingerfoxxx's favorite drink! She likes her boys and martini's the same - d-d-dirty, dirty. After the dinner and awards and what not, there was some meandering in the hotel, and we ended up trying to find a bar some old friends of mine were at. Sadly, we got lost, it started to freezing rain (i was in red heels dammit!) and my phone died so i couldnt even find them. We ended up back in the bro bar. It was definately a good time. Did i mention this bar had a make out room? why don't ALL bars have that??? I didn't get a chance to use it, as i was too busy entertaining and drinking. Next time for sure though. After the bar closed (lame. i miss chicago 5am bars) (and tamale guy) we went back to the hotel to party. The details of what went down are a little hazy, but i distinctly recall being in a room with 5 naked boys. I cant even imagine a believable scenario that could lead to that, but i assure, it happened. Luckily, gingerfoxxx is pro boys and pro nudity, because other bitches couldn't handle that shit. Needless to say, i decided to sleep there! (i would post pics, but this is a family friendly blog) (what the fuck am i talking about? this is so not a family friendly blog, but not everyone neccessarily wants to see 5 boys doing the full monty, so you will just have to trust me)
****also, on the way back, we stopped at a mcdonalds that had the moonman statue. remember that guy? it was from, like, the mid-80's or something!!
Needless to say these things were learned this weekend - gingerfoxxx is by far the most fabulous ginger designer in the midwest. Also, her middle name really is party. Lastly, too many dicks on the dance floor, or surrounding her in general, not so much a problem.
April Fools, bitches! Like i would ever be anything less than fabulous. Its common knowledge that gingers are BY FAR the hottest people in the world.
As always,
Marie the GINGERfoxxx!
PS - at least i didnt fuck with the nascar crowd!
Sure, April Fools' Day comes but once a year, and some silly stories have been making the rounds. (Stairmasters in the NYC subway? Brad and Angelina married? Really? No.) But one thing is now clear: Keep the jokes away from NASCAR.
All Car and Driver magazine tried to do was drive a little levity into the auto industry bailout with a prank. The serious publication ran a joke story that announced that Obama had ordered Chevrolet and Dodge out of NASCAR if they wanted to keep their federal funds. For a brief web-fueled moment, NASCAR fans had to imagine a future of cheering on Japanese cars. Or worse, French ones. The horror.
Immediately, the Internet went crazy, with searches on "obama nascar" accelerating in Search and zooming across Twitter. Although the story was clearly marked a hoax, Car and Driver eventually pulled the fake story and apologized for going "too far."
Not to worry, NASCAR fans: Nobody's pulling out of NASCAR. Yet. As Automobile magazine's blog noted nervously, "Let's just hope that the auto task force doesn't read this and get any ideas."
Well folks, like other great gingers before me, i have gone on a very daring adventure....into brunette territory!! Thats right! Just like la lohan i am trying my hand at whole new hair color! I might need to change my name now too!
