Would you go on a completely blind date with a matchmaking service?

Tawkify is EXTREMELY expensive, and I am not that desperate yet, so I did not pay the thousands of dollars they wanted, and I didn't even pay the $99 yearly membership, then they offered me a complimentary membership, and then I was told that there were two possible clients of theirs I was a match for. One was ruled out because I'm Pro-Life... Apparently this must be in their profile as a deal breaker, but the other I am supposed to have a date with in a few days. I don't even get a photo of her before we meet though. It's interesting that they're setting me up on a date when I haven't paid them anything. I guess there aren't that many eligible men? I don't know. We live in a well populated general area.

I do not do dating apps. Professional Orgs, hobbies, sports, etc. And www.meetup.com

How does meet up work for that?

put in your zip code and 30 miles and see what comes up. I do my soccer matches, both indoor and outdoor, through that. There are more girls on the indoor than guys. The under the light pitch is where the serious international games happen.
Socials by age... other hobbies etc. Real time people that one can actually touch.

Maybe they are giving you the left overs that can’t find guys who want to be with them.

8.25 a month is extremely expensive?

[Asker]

I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. The membership is just where they might have someone to match you with. I actually got it for free apparently but that’s not what the service makes money on. I think the absolute cheapest you can get it is 12 dates for $9000.

I think they offered me three dates for 3000. So you’re talking about some serious money. If I go out with this woman, it’s not gonna cost me anything. But she’s probably paying a pretty penny.

[In_Trance]

If it's not costing you and it is costing her, I don't see why that's your concern

[Asker]

I don’t know what she looks like … so it’s totally weird
