What does matchmaker mean?

Matchmaker refers to some women who take marriage as their profession, which is a professional identity.

They usually take the initiative to recommend suitable partners to those who need to get married, and try their best to fix the two parties for the purpose of getting married. Matchmakers usually use their social skills and eloquence, as well as extensive network resources to match the parties. In ancient times, matchmakers were often called "matchmakers", and they were professional women who helped unmarried men and women to bridge the gap and match marriages.

In modern society, the profession of matchmaker still exists, but with the popularity of social media and the emergence of dating websites, the role of matchmaker has been gradually replaced. However, in some rural areas or social circles, the matchmaker is still a relatively common professional identity.

It should be noted that the matchmaker is not a competent role for all matchmaking agencies or dating websites. Marriage agencies usually provide opportunities for single men and women to get to know each other online or offline, while the dating website is a more modern platform, which provides more convenient blind date and communication opportunities for single men and women through internet technology.

Pairing skills

1, matchmaking should also have skills. It is necessary to be familiar with the actual family situation of both men and women and make efforts to propose marriage. It is also necessary to accurately reflect the basic situation of both men and women and their parents, suppress evil and promote good as much as possible, so that both sides can fully understand each other's strengths and are willing to reach a marriage agreement.

2. To be a matchmaker, you should be diligent in running errands. From the day you start to match men and women, you should always go back and forth between men and women, exchange information, convey each other's wishes and demands, and prevent unexpected changes. Traditionally, both men and women have the obligation to entertain the matchmaker, so there is a saying that "coal is used for every meal".

The matchmaker plays an important role in the old-fashioned wedding. After the families of both men and women basically agree on marriage, he will guide the man to go on a blind date, send out modified Geng stickers on behalf of both parties, guide the man to get engaged, choose an auspicious day for marriage, guide the man to get married, and assist the bride to marry until the couple enters the house.
