    The undersigned don’t need to pay money, I’m sure they’ll get shidduchim for their daughters anyway because of their positions. But, even if it was hard, they probably wouldn’t fork over all that money…

    we do it–but not near our house. instead we put the crumbs at places where birds are known to congregate

    Haven’t really heard about this… which communities and schools have tried this?

    also how much is average compensation, say for a first date?

    az, not looking for list of typical shadchanim. as mentioned earlier, prefer someone who deals with this exclusively and charges.

    please continue posting numbers everyone

    its a combination of factors that of course and az have mentioned plus others, like there aren’t many places for singles to meet on their own these days. 30 years ago it wasn’t like this.

    but i dont want to digress from the topic.

    please post any other numbers or contact info !

    too many to count,az. single (girls) get lost in the numbers… unless someone knows them personally.

    for some reason, this seems to be a sensitive topic with you, az, im not sure why. are you by any chance a shadchan and feel that you’re not being compensated properly? or is it something else? all i asked was numbers or professional shadchanim, because other things don’t seem to work…

    when conventional ways fail, it’s good to try something new.

    of course reminding shadchanim is necessary, but it’s not always enough… though, that pay per date seems like an interesting idea…

    i just regoogled binyan adei ad–is it a lubavitch matchmaking service? do they deal with all types or just lubavitch?

    anyone else with ideas and numbers, please feel free to post!

    ha, in general, these organizations don’t do much for many singles i know. again, if they don’t charge, i have less confidence in them helping. sad but true.

    haven’t heard of binyan adei ad, and when i tried looking online, it seems to be an organization for something else.

    yunger mann, while that may be the case, i feel like a lot of the usual shadchanim do this as a side job, and are busy with other jobs and other things. Some shadchanim get onto lists because they personally know singles that need shidduchim…

    It’s better to find someone who intensely focuses on shidduchim and is paid to do so.

    if you know of anyone else you can recommend please keep suggestions coming.

    thank you

    Az, of course you appreciate the work shadchanim do–but let’s be practical. People are more willing to work on a single’s behalf if there’s an incentive. Unfortunately, while regular shadchanim do put in time and effort–it’s not enough. they’re often busy, have other jobs, involved with a lot of things, and have tons of girls. but, if someone is a professional, charges, he/she has a vested interest in putting in a lot of effort and time to set people up.

    thanks for the contact info smart cookie, and aishes!

    any others?

    Yossi, I’m not referring to the typical regular shadchanim, I’m asking about professionals who charge money to do this and devote more time and effort for you because they’re being paid- and not just when they make a shidduch.

    fabie, in ny, but really anywhere.

    aishes chayil, do you have oshri’s number? Have you or someone you know tried him? What does he charge?

    thanks!
