Looking for the right person the wrong way
I was watching the news today and they had a piece on a wealthy billionaire who payed a matchmaker to find him the right girl to get married with. The report of this totally sounded like an advertisement (I imagine he payed for the piece because it isn't "news") and really angered me. The following points were made in the piece:
- He's looking for a jewish female, aged from 28 to the mid 30s
- They don't actually meet him when they "apply" or sell themselves -- he's not in town even (And doesn't live in the GTA)
- The matchmaker he hired implied he has spent a "small fortune" to get this kind of attention, as well as to put out the word
- The newscaster said, applicants should be able to fall in love with this, not just want it (or something to that effect).
My beef has to do with the whole thing, as well as some of the points mentioned in the newcast. Should money matter? No. To these people, it will though, because thats how they found out about this person (because he spent money to get people to notice him), and they don't even know him, yet are willing to almost marry him. The fact that he has put restrictions down is a mixed feeling. Everyone has their own thing, their own preferences. But also one should not be closed minded too, espically about religion. But that's a personal opinion and belief and I know others that think otherwise. And the point about love, well, in my opinion, he's setting himself up for trouble by going this route and not even meeting these people casually. Marriage doesn't come quickly, or it shouldn't, and the way he's looking for a partner is almost asking for him to attract the wrong type of people. What ever happened to casual dating, or talking to people? Or what others do?
