Straight 34 Man - Matchmaking post

# Matchmaking Post — Looking for 3 Women to Meet Him

I’m helping a 34-year-old nerdy, genuinely nice guy who has his life together but is admittedly a complete doofus when it comes to dating.
He has hobbies, meaningful friendships, a good relationship with his dad, and has been told he’s a good-looking guy. His biggest struggle is simply meeting women in a dating context.
He’s looking for a long-term relationship, but he’s also open to having fun and getting to know someone in a safe, emotionally connected way. He’s dated before, but post-COVID dating has left him pretty confused about how to actually meet people organically.
He quit the dating apps because they were hurting his mental health and didn’t feel particularly effective at leading to real-life dates. He meets women he’s interested in, exchanges contact information, and then often never hears back. He’s also tried speed dating and mindful dating events.
So instead of going back to the apps or spending $10,000+ on traditional matchmaking, I’m stepping in as the matchmaker.

## I’m looking to introduce him to 3 women in the NYC area.

The women I’m looking for are roughly:

• 27–35 years old
• Interested in a deep emotional connection
• Kind, gentle, and emotionally thoughtful
• Physically active / in good shape
• Living in the NYC area
• Love reading
• Enjoy discussing abstract topics like philosophy, politics, history, psychology, or why people behave the way they do
• Value mindfulness or meditation
• Either in therapy or genuinely interested in self-reflection and personal growth
• Financially stable enough to realistically remain in NYC
• Creative / identify as an artist, with hobbies such as writing, painting, music, etc.
• Introverted or introvert-adjacent
• Aware of the chaotic state of the world but still able to maintain some optimism
• Don’t smoke tobacco, drink heavily, constantly use marijuana, or use hard drugs
• Care about politics beyond surface-level slogans
• Don’t feel an urgent need to have children within the next 1–3 years
• A yearner — someone who genuinely wants romance, intimacy, and emotional depth

He’s not looking for someone who checks every box perfectly. Personality and emotional connection matter most**.**

## Important: 10–30 Minute FaceTime Required

Before arranging an in-person introduction, a 10–30 minute FaceTime/video conversation is required so I can briefly speak with you, get a sense of your personality, and make sure the introduction seems like a genuine potential match.
If you know a woman who sounds like she could genuinely click with him, send me a message. I’d love to learn a little about her and see whether the two of them might be a good match.
The goal is simple: make three genuinely promising introductions and get them off the internet and onto an actual date.
