Why we are different

raingo — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 08:57:11 +0000

Happy New Year!

Rachael and Smith is going to be 15 years old.

About our client base:

When ladies come for a consultation, they often ask, why if these guys have such good profiles, do they need your service? I say because they knew me, they joined one of my events 10 or even 15 years ago.

In the past, I witnessed them getting into a relationship, or getting married, breaking up and coming back to our service. Or 10 years ago, when he may have been 35 and not ready….now is ready at 45…..the majority of our male clients are in their 40s. For successful men, their time is very valuable. Using a dating app is considered a waste of time. People who come to us are generally more serious.

Very Personalized Service:

Because I personally meet every client, I know their personality very well. Finding them a date takes a few minutes. Some clients think they know what they want, but after a consultation….they are clear about what they want, and where to look.

Best matches for female clients:

While our female clients have a wide range of ages, from 20s to 50s…two of my happiest matches are my best friend who has been married for 10 years; the other is a female client aged 52 who has a son. She is happily in love with another of my clients. For myself….I found I married the best man in the world. I met him in July, we were married in November.

Sometimes finding love is just that easy.

If you or your friends are looking for an exclusive matching service to meet sophisticated candidates, then sign up for our free consultation.

Let our experienced matchmakers find your matches!

How to maximize your chance to meet people this Halloween?

raingo — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 03:59:06 +0000

Halloween, like most of the other festivals is a chance for people to dress up, go out, socialize and party. Most people don’t know the origin of Halloween. It doesn’t matter – if you are single, the following are the tricks that you can use to enhance your chances of meeting someone.

1: Many people like to dress up in a horror costume, with fake blood make up on their face. If you are in a relationship and want a fun night out, that’s OK. But if you are single, and have horror makeup on your face, the chances are others won’t see your real face and won’t remember you. Even if you bump into each other again you won’t recognise each other.

2: Go for the classics: the most eye-catching ones are always a group of more than 2 girls dressing up in uniform or as famous historical people, like Sailor Moon, or superheroes. You will find there are plenty of fake abs six packs and superhero outfits.

3: When to go out: this year Halloween is on a Wednesday; in my experience, when Halloween falls on a school night, most people will dress up and party the weekend before or after. It’s better to just go out on Friday after work, then dress up on the Saturday. Like every year, there will be lots of people walking around LKF, but their mood is just to see what the most interesting outfits are out there. Most bars are quiet on that evening…. go out anyway.

4: Preparation: No matter whether you want to dress up or not, it’s always better to do some research about this special occasion. Are there any interesting parties to go to? What are the themes? In case you want to dress up, can you get an outfit that fits you properly? Most casual cheap outfits won’t fit. The better way is to buy it earlier and take to a tailor. Study, prepare and have fun!

Make this Halloween unforgettable. Target to meet at least 5-10 new friends….

Join our Halloween Party…

Greeting cultural differences on a first date

Rachael — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 04:14:26 +0000

Here are my thoughts on the key greeting differences:

1. If you are a Westerner, meeting Asian girls … instead of giving a kiss on the cheek, test the waters out to see what makes the lady comfortable.

2. Shaking hands only happen when you are meeting someone for business – DON”T DO THAT ON A DATE. Most European, France, Spain, Italy, and UK men like to greet friends by kissing on both cheeks. Dutch and Belgium will give a cheek kiss 3 times.

3. If you don’t know how to react, just smile which is the near-universal friendliness. Do not act like you never have been kissed on the cheek before. Act like nothing has happened.

4. Make sure you spray cologne/perfume, and that your face is clean and neat, not oily. About perfume: many people are allergic especially to cheap perfume.

5. In Asia, generally speaking, no physical contact on the first date when greeting each other (best to wait until things are more relaxed – a few drinks definitely helps!).
In conclusion, a hug, a gentle touch of the shoulder, a smile on a first date.

Keep studying and practicing to The PHD Rule

Rachael — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 02:57:22 +0000

Last night when I was watching a movie with my loved one, a movie called Dr. Strange, someone asked the doctor: What makes you become a PHD?

He said “Study and practice!”

This applies to all professional jobs, dating, and relationships. Someone also said: I found the harder I work, the luckier I get.

Therefore let’s keep studying and practicing how to be good at dating, a good gentleman/lady, or a good spouse.

You will find the harder you work at it…the luckier you become, and the closer you will get to what you want.

Seeking Mr. Not Very Wrong

raingo — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 09:19:19 +0000

I think compatibility is an achievement of love, rather than a pre-condition. The partner who suits us best is not the one who shares all our tastes and values, but the one who can disagree with us agreeably. We should look for someone who has the capacity to tolerate differences with generosity. Rather than seek ...

Keep the sparks flying in a stable relationship

raingo — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 09:08:33 +0000

My boyfriend is very handsome and many women approach him, but he is also worried about the many guys that approach me. He says it’s a compliment because if I were not intelligent and attractive to other men, he would not be with me. The point is: Your partner must be good enough that he/she will attract other people, but at the same time, you must keep yourself competitive and prove your value in the relationship.

Holding on to your loved one is like preparing for battle: you cannot wait until something has happened. Men go off track mainly because of the excitement of being with someone new. You have to keep the relationship fresh and exciting as well. Sometimes, when everything is going well, we have a tendency to fall into a rhythm, a habit of doing the same things over and over. You have to fight against this mindset by staying fit, dressing well, and looking after yourself. If you fail at this, your man may already have half a foot out the door.

If the unthinkable does happen, stay calm. Acting crazy will only drive your man further away. Go to the gym, learn something new; he will be curious why you are keeping so busy. Bring his attention back to you, but also prepare to move on. Love should be exclusive, loyal, and committed. There are lots of great guys out there.

Pre-Dinner Date Etiquette

raingo — Thu, 16 Nov 2017 06:51:57 +0000

For the gentleman: The dinner date does not begin when you arrive at the restaurant. It began when you invited her out. And you should try to make the date at least 3-5 days in advance.

If you ask her what she likes, she will politely say, “Anything is fine.” Instead, ask if she has any food allergies or preferences and make your restaurant selection based on that. Read some restaurant reviews. If the place is nice, and it should be nice for a first or second date, MAKE A RESERVATION. It shows that you respect the occasion and consider it important enough to ensure that it goes well.

For the ladies: Unfortunately, not every guy will understand the importance of good preparedness. If the guy is busy, or is nervous about choosing the wrong restaurant, you can take a positive step by offering to make the reservation. Pick a restaurant that you have been wanting to try with someone. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not sincere if they don’t make a reservation; it could just be that they’ve been single for a long time, and are not confident enough to make such decisions yet.

How to play pool and learn to be a good wife

Rachael — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 08:21:30 +0000

Rachael & Smith recently created Pool Networking events to increase opportunities for interaction and socializing for clients who sign up as part of the service.

In this group, potential matches meet regularly to practice. One night, I was playing with my client Evelyn when two mature western guys in their early 50s came up and asked to join us for mixed doubles. After a few shots, I asked one of the guys, “Why aren’t you teaching your partner Evelyn?” He said she wasn’t listening to him. Evelyn is a businesswoman and knows how to play, so it’s difficult for her to just follow advice.

I suggested to Evelyn to try listening more to your partner, even if you disagree, and see what happens. Then the guy said, “You sound like you’re teaching her how to be a wife.”

I said, “Partnership is not just about telling the other person what to do. It’s about communication, and making an effort to avoid misunderstandings.”

In any game, teamwork is tantamount to success and enjoyment. It is important to make your partner feel that his/her efforts are appreciated. If it’s your life partner and you cannot agree on the small things, it’s going to be a long, arduous journey.
