Oomis, you must be a big tzadekes (I assume youre a woman), and very out of town…. even on Shidduch websites like SYAS, which is not farfrumt or heimish or New Yorky by any standards, the site generates an email to recently engaged couples, recommending that each side give $1,000. This doesnt make anyone a millionaire, being that most SYAS and other Shadchanim dont make more than one Shidduch a year after a years worth of days and nights of unsuccessful attempts.
….THEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN WHY NO ONE WANTS TO BE SHADCHANIM AND AS A RESULT LOTS OF SINGLES ARE GETTING OLDER AND OLDER!
After a years worth of days and nights of unsuccessful attempts, most are human and want more than a candy dish.
