The most important reason to join is to increase your exposure to other singles quickly. Connections exposes you to many, many more people than you could ever meet by chance or other methods. Since our singles have been pre-matched for compatibility using their own specifications, a brief meeting to screen for chemistry is sufficient. You are the only person who can screen for chemistry for you. Relying on videos or photos for that screening is ineffective and can even make you miss your own special person.
Connections is a matchmaking, introduction service.
One matchmaker interviews you, then matches you. After careful study of all types of services, Connections chose matchmaking because it is successful for the greatest number of people. It is very important in all matchmaking services that the same person interview you and match you. It is hard to do a good job of matching someone you don't know. Taken one step further, it is important that one person interview everyone in a service and match everyone in that service.
