This is not a dating app. You are not being thrown into a pool of hundreds or thousands of other people, hoping to bump into your soulmate. You are hiring two discerning men and their wives to select a highly compatible candidate with whom you could spend the rest of your life.
If $1,000 precludes a man from this service, it's likely he is not in a financial position to provide for a wife and begin a family within a year.
Matchmaking services typically run about $1,500 and sometimes up to $50,000 for marriage "bounties". The average year of dating (and failing to marry) costs a man $1,560. If a man is truly ready for marriage, this solves the most important aspect of his life most cost effectively.
