It starts with an interview. Singles come into one of our interview offices to give us detailed information about themselves and the person they are seeking. We match and cross-match tangible items, such as age, height, education, smoking preferences, etc. by computer. Then a living, thinking, human matchmaker matches for the most suitable introductions based on compatibility, values, background, and interest. It is the most effective way to match tangible items, but it is only the beginning of matchmaking.
Computers are fast but they have a very superficial place in matchmaking.
900 numbers are too expensive. Remember that our singles have been pre-matched for compatibility using their own specifications. We do have photographs and some of our members do look at them, too, of course. I was part of the singles' world in the metroplex for years and my partner still is. We know how hard it is to meet quality people.
