The Dark Side of Matchmaking

“I don’t want to say anything more.”

“Just wait for the police to contact you!”

“Good luck!”

Xu Ning snorted coldly and ended the call without giving the other party a chance to beg for mercy.

Why should people get away with cursing others?

Perhaps because of a small dispute, you get cursed at by someone and can only swallow your anger.

After all, the cost of defending one’s rights is often something ordinary people cannot afford.

This leads to many people acting recklessly.

But, precisely, Xu Ning doesn't care about the cost of defending his rights!

The more joy you took in cursing just now, the more miserably you will cry in the future.

It's not that he lacks sympathy, but that he won't abuse it.

After ending the call, Xu Ning sighed, saying with a somewhat earnest tone: “I advise everyone, a harmonious society still needs to be harmonious.”

However, he didn't dwell on this issue, but instead began to educate netizens about the chaos within the matchmaking industry, based on the previous question.

“Actually, the matchmaking industry indeed has many hidden schemes and pitfalls.”

“A slight misstep, and you might fall into a trap, losing money at best, and losing everything at worst!”

“How do some unscrupulous matchmakers operate? I’ll tell you now.”

“No matter how they get your contact information, they’ll start calling you relentlessly.”

“They’ll tell you they have a very suitable match for you and ask you to visit their office.”

“As long as they can get you to the office, it’s practically half the battle won.”

“Once you’re at the office, they’ll take you to a small room and chat with you like a close older sister.”

“But in reality, during the conversation, without you realizing it, all aspects of your situation and emotional life will have been fully grasped by them.”

“At this point, the matchmaker will subtly amplify your anxiety about relationships.”

“Then, they’ll start to entice you with pictures of potential partners, fabricating facts, exaggerating promotions, and making casual verbal promises to make you lose your judgment!”

“By this time, you’ve probably been brainwashed and are ready to pay!”

“Their fees don’t have a unified standard; it’s entirely based on who you are, directly proportional to your income!”

“Don’t even think about saying you didn’t bring money or don’t have cash; they have a million ways to get the money out of your pocket!”

“If you say you don’t have money, they might even induce you to take out a loan to pay the matchmaking fee!”

“A few thousand yuan is nothing; many people have paid tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!”

“At this stage, it’s only a loss from your wallet!”

“And the contract contains many unfair clauses.”

“For example, members cannot terminate the contract, and the service fee is non-refundable if the contract is terminated!”

“For example, the matchmaking company can terminate the contract, and only a small portion of the service fee will be refunded.”

“Moreover, the contract places almost no responsibility on the matchmaking party. No matter how much they promise to help you find a partner, they will never write this into the contract.”

“After they collect the money, you’ll find that you’ve been cast aside like an old shoe!”

“When introducing potential partners, they’ll be perfunctory, make excuses to delay, send blurry photos of potential partners, and deliberately guide you to lower your expectations.”

“When providing information about potential partners, they’ll also exaggerate, avoid important details, fabricate stories, and introduce people who don’t meet your requirements, completely contradicting their previous promises of precise matching, high quality, and abundant resources!”

“They even use professional decoys to make up the numbers!”

“Anyway, they’ll make sure you meet the agreed number of people within the contract period, but the quality of these introductions is completely unguaranteed!”

“When the contract expires, you’ll find that you’ve spent a hefty matchmaking fee, gone on dates for nothing, and are still single!”

“By then, it’s too late to realize you’ve been scammed, because you can do nothing about them and can only swallow your anger and accept your bad luck!”

“Because from the moment you received their call, you fell into their trap and scam.”

“That guy just now was probably scammed out of a large sum of money by an unscrupulous matchmaker, couldn't get it back, and then took his anger out on me.”

“Of course, not all matchmakers are unscrupulous; everyone still needs to keep their eyes open!”

Xu Ning’s extensive popularization of knowledge exposed many hidden secrets within the industry, leaving the netizens in the live broadcast room amazed.

“Good heavens, is it that dark?”

“This isn’t matchmaking; this is outright fraud!”

“Speaking from experience, I was scammed by a shady matchmaker; two months’ salary just vanished!”

“Damn, yesterday a matchmaker called me to schedule an appointment. I was hesitating whether to go, but now you couldn't pay me to go!”

“Is there no way to deal with these unscrupulous matchmakers?”

“Host, aren’t you afraid of retaliation from shady matchmakers for exposing industry secrets like this?”

“The host is still conscientious; even though he hasn’t successfully matched anyone, at least he doesn’t charge!”

...Looking at the comment “haven’t successfully matched anyone,” Xu Ning almost cried!

That stings, buddy!

The matchmaking studio has been open for three days, and in reality, only one pair has shown interest in continuing to interact.

Now he truly regrets choosing matchmaking as a way to earn money!

If I had known this line of work was so difficult, I would have chosen to be a graduate school tutor!

At this moment, another comment about emotional advice caught Xu Ning's attention.

“Host, I want to ask, why don't boys pursue girls anymore?”

“Several boys used to pursue me, but they stopped pursuing me after a while. What's going on?”

This comment made Xu Ning raise his eyebrows, and a sense of absurdity arose in his heart again.

If he only looked at the first sentence, he wouldn't think there was any problem.

But the second sentence really left him speechless!

Why did they stop pursuing?

You tell me why they stopped pursuing!

Many netizens in the live broadcast room were also speechless.

“Several boys pursued you? It seems you really enjoy being pursued!”

“If it were me, I wouldn’t pursue either!”

“You said they pursued you, so I want to ask, were any of them successful?”

“They probably saw no hope of success and gave up!”

“You just let people pursue you without giving them any results; aren't you just toying with them?!”

“Good heavens, do you really want to reel in all the boys like fish?”

...Xu Ning looked at these comments and couldn't help but smile and speak.

“Alright, regarding this question, I’ll interpret it from a boy’s perspective for everyone!”

“First of all, pursuing girls is very difficult; everyone must admit this.”

“I have a friend, alright, let me clarify, it’s indeed a friend, not me personally.”

“He pursued a girl, diligently like a simp, taking her out to eat, drink, and play for a month, which cost him three months’ salary!”

“In the end, the girl told him they weren’t suitable and could be friends!”

“This is still a basic operation, and considered good!”

“Some even string you along until you’re left with nothing!”

“You tell me, after experiencing it once, you’re basically desperate. Will you still pursue girls in the future?”
