I really think its time the CR open its own shidduch venue. And it could be done with ease; if I’m looking for a girl with xyz values, and one of the members has such values (as evident from their posts) I would contact the Moderators and ask them to pass them my real world contact information. Then, if from what they see from my posts, they agree that a tachlis conversation is in order, we move to step 2.
Vastly different from standard on-line venues, as in the CR subjects of all sorts have been discussed, so you get to see what makes a person tick before they are putting up a smokescreen. And $3000? Please, thats disgusting. We could do our own legwork and pay the Mods a flat fee of (well, not sure what that number should be, but I’m certain we could discuss that on another thread:)
