I agree that the system needs an overhauling but its not the job of wealthy people to support shadchanim. Kol hakavod to Sam2-it Is really special to make a shidduch. And that is the point-we cant leave it up to the professionals alone-they need help. And the amateur laymen have the same ability to bring about a shidduch. As a single myself, most of my dates come about through friends and family, and not through ‘professional’ shadchanim. Lastly, I know that there are many singles who feel that their ‘married’ friends have betrayed them, but I personally don’t feel that way-I have a bunch of amazing married friends who think of boys for me and set me up. We have to bring about this trend. The young couples are the ones who hold the key in their hands. The husbands know boys and the wives know girls!
