What Men Don’t Know About Dating Agencies

February 2nd, 2010, Posted by Eddy Ankrett

A lot of men use a dating agency to find a mate. This can be seen by the thousands of blokes are registered with such agencies.

Think about this: 270,000 women from around the world register with dating agencies each day. As for the men, they outnumber the women by four times. Despite this enormous figure, there are still a lot of men who refuse to use a dating agency. It isn’t that they shun the whole dating agency idea. In fact, there are quite a number who are actually open to the possibility of using one. It’s just that they have some issues concerning dating agencies. What are these issues you ask? Let’s find out:

1. A lot of men think that a dating agency is filled with psychos and losers. This is the impression most have about a typical dating agency. And we’re talking about the women users. This holds true especially for Internet-based dating agencies. These blokes are of the impression that only crazy women roam the cyber highway in search of a mate. A lady in her right mind would never use such sites. Well, they seem to have it all wrong. In fact, many decent and “normal” women have embraced this whole new way of dating. These are the women who normally go out to find a mate. The demands of their career however, have made it impossible to even go on a night out with their friends. And just for the record, a lot of “healthy sane and normal” men use these sites as well.

2. The cost of dating: A lot of men think that a dating agency costs serious money. Well, some in fact do cost a pretty pound. There are however, some cheaper alternatives on the Internet that nonetheless provide quality service. It is also a matter of budget and searching for a reputable site.

3. Matchmakers have it all wrong: These men have heard about the “failed couples” who met via dating agency. They think that since the matchmaking service said they’re a “perfect match”, then nothing should go wrong. But it did. What these blokes don’t realise is that a matchmaking service is there to merely advise you on your potential match. It offers several people for you to choose from. It is then up to you and your newfound friend to see if you can indeed get along. The same holds true for couples. It is really up to the two of them to work towards a successful relationship, regardless of how they met.

So there you have it. Some issues a lot of men (and most likely, women) have with using the typical dating agency. Whether or not you agree with them is entirely up to you. What is important is that you are comfortable with how you look for a mate. Happy hunting!

  1. Red Says:

    I think that men think that they dont need anyone to help them find someone and that a nice young lady will appear from no where!! Agencies dont have that stigma anymore so why dont they take a chance and join an agency?

  2. barryL Says:

    I agree with Red and i am a man! loads of my single friends (who are in their 40/50s) think that they can still go to bars and ‘pick up’ girls – reality is is that the girls in the bars are much younger than them. Going online is the best thig for meeting someone nowadays

  3. datingnovice Says:

    why is it when you are a single man all your friends and colleagues always say that they have got a lovely single friend for you to meet – and nothing ever comes of it?!

  4. Sam - Newcastle Says:

    I think men dont use on line dating services because they feel embarrised that they are not going down the conventional route of meeting a girl like in a pub or club and dont have their mates to back them up – Guess they are the weaker sex…..

  5. deborah Says:

    Hard making that first step – but once you do its worth it – and oh such fun, go on give it a try….
