Becoming Your Own Matchmaker: How You Can Realize Your Greatest Dreams

Why wait for pool admins to match you up when you can find matches of interest, now!

Once upon a time, spouses were matched together by professional matchmakers. These were women who were blessed with the gift of the gab, who earned a livelihood by traveling from doorstep to doorstep and suggesting lifelong partners, based on a wide variety of “compatibility factors” ranging from age and height to family “yichus” (pedigree), earning potential and more. The daughter of a family three chickens might be matched to the son of the village butcher, while a daughter with demonstrated seamstress talent (a career in the making!) might be matched to a son whose parents want him to learn Torah all day, thereby requiring financial support.

These days, however, traditional matchmaking has taken a back seat to proactive love-seeking activities. While matchmaking does exist in more traditional communities, as well as in app form (Tinder, JSwipe, etc.), today’s singles head out to social activities and make their own destiny. They approach others at bars, ask attractive others for help at the grocery store, and try out cheesy pick-up lines at the gym, with marked results. Rather than be set up based on impersonal and at times arbitrary criteria, these modern-day go-getters are finding romantic partners that meet their individual needs for companionship, love, support and more.

Matchmaking success translates into personal success

If taking initiative and matchmaking FOR YOURSELF is so successful in the romantic world, why not translate this matchmaking shift to the world of Matchpool?

Answer: Matchmaking is no longer just for dating or marriage purposes. Matchpool has identified this opportunity and has recently implemented pool members matching as an exciting new feature..

Now, pool members can request matches of their own accord and make connections that help them realize their greatest pool-related dreams.

Tips for successful self-matchmaking

Tip #1 — Prepare

Determine what exactly you are looking for in a new match. Are you in the market for a brainstorming partner? Someone to collaborate with on a new venture? A thought leader to learn from, so you can improve your own offering? Or maybe you’re in the market for a little industry-related comic relief. Knowing what want in a match will help you identify that person in the Matchpool arena.

Tip #2 — Search for your ideal match

Don’t go about sending off match requests willy-nilly. Look through your pool’s list of members and try and discern which meet your ideal match persona. Doing so will lead to a higher chance of your match being approved by relevant others.

Tip #3 — Sell yourself

You know you’re a catch. Now’s the time to ensure your target matches agree. Send an introductory message to potential new matches, in which you tell them a little bit about you, your likes, dislikes, goals, etc. Match your “self sales pitch” to the type of match you’re looking to make. Namely, if you are looking for a business partner, present yourself as business oriented. If you are looking to match with a thought leader, position yourself as an avid learner, who knows and appreciates the other’s expertise.

Tip #4 — Patience is a virtue

If at first your self matchmaking does not succeed — do not despair! Like with love, sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs before you meet your prince. And even if your match request is accepted, it may not actually develop into the budding digital relationship you hoped. Luckily, you can match on and keep striving to realize your greatest dreams, with Matchpool by your side, every step of the way.
