So you personally know of one case where the shadchan was negligent. Therefore put every person in the field in the same boat.
Now that is sound logic…….
If parents realize that it is fair to compensate after three dates (or make it four) it is not common at all that a “sleazy” matchmaker will “trick” a couple into dating 3-4 times. Once yes, twice maybe. More than that is highly unlikely.
It’s not like the money is that good. If there in it for the money and they are that sleazy there are plenty of other, easier and more profitable scams to engage in.
