Romance 101 - Online Dating Services vs Matchmakers

For starters, a dating service lets the members choose their match; a matchmaker does the choosing for members. Being an independent sort, choosing your own match may sound like a better deal. Let's be realistic, though. All you have to base your selection on is what the person told you on his/her data sheet or video. Chances are pretty good he/she didn't say much about less appealing characteristics. Matchmakers have an advantage.
