Popular Questions


What makes you more effective than traditional matchmaking agencies?
First off, we only work with gay men. Our matchmakers specialize in matching within the m4m community and fully understand their psychology and lifestyle. In fact, all our matchmakers are gay men themselves. Gay men... it’s who we know and what we do. :)

We do not use outdated flip books, subscribe to blind dates or put your picture out there for everyone to see. We use a real human eye to search aggressively through thousands of profiles, inside and outside our network, and reach out to numerous potential matches on your behalf every day. We value your privacy and confidentiality and only present you to men we have qualified based on your specific search criteria. This recruitment technique is applied at favored hunting grounds like dating and personal sites, social media sites, LGBT organizations, meetup groups, local resources to your area, mining other matchmaking agencies, networking events, etc - in addition to our extensive and ever-growing database of client and non-clients. We believe it's a good mix between the human element and a logical/systematic approach - an evolved matchmaking style that fits in today's swipe left/swipe right dating culture.

We are also proud to keep our rates the lowest in the industry while performing, what we believe, is more than 10x the work and effort than traditional matchmaking agencies or those that you may see on TV or Netflix. We don't force, prod or push two men onto each other - all criteria is met in both directions with zero surprises. We are only traditional in the sense that you may be matched to other clients. But once that pool is saturated, the real leg work begins during our headhunting phase, while keeping an eye on new entries into our network. Our matchmakers pride themselves on being transparent, communicative and honest with you, throughout the entire process. No sugar coating or white flags. In fact, all our clients are provided their own dedicated market report, which gives insight on their market size and viability, along with customized recommendations - all to improve your chances.

Hard-working approach. Incredible value. Instant gratification. Delivered right to your inbox.

What are the guarantees of me being matched successfully?

How do I become part of your non-client network?

Optima is your dedicated market report which details your progress, including recent intros, photo grades, market saturation levels and recommendations. View a demo here. It is included in all matchmaking memberships.

Are these blind dates?
No. There are no surprises here. Both parties know what each other look like before an official introduction is made. In fact, before a prospect is greenlit, your lead matchmaker will present you a potential match via email, along with his photos for your approval. If you pass on him, he does not count as an introduction. If you approve, the potential match is converted to an official introduction.

Are there any contracts?
There are no contractual obligations whatsoever. You may cancel at any time.

We currently offer 6 month memberships which include 2 months free. For our 6 month packages, please click here. For annual rates, please inquire by contacting customer service.

Can I pause my membership and future introductions?
Yes, you can pause your membership at any time. Unless you inform your matchmaker otherwise your membership will continue every month. At certain times your matchmaking will recommended a pause in your membership based on situational circumstances. If any matches remain they are provided unless you otherwise inform your lead matchmaker to pause his search. A few examples: 1) If you find yourself in a relationship or just met someone and want to see where it goes you can request a pause and come back at a future date. 2) If you go on a two month trip and need to pause, your membership can be reactivated upon your return. 3) Your lead matchmaker may recommend (or maybe you request to) catch up on the introductions that have rolled over. At any time you can reactivate your membership once the balance has been delivered and your team can continue where they left off. Just keep in contact with your lead matchmaker throughout or inform customer service.
