I’m A Matchmaker. Here’s The Worst Dating Advice Women Get.

My 43-year-old matchmaking client gave me a condition: If we introduced him to women over 32, they needed to have at least 70 eggs frozen. He would not consider a match over 36. Most of my clients aren’t requesting specific egg counts as criteria for matches, but virtually all of the men I work with want to find younger partners.

As background, I’ve run my high-end matchmaking and coaching service, Dating By Blaine, since 2020. The overwhelming majority of men who apply to work with me and my team, from their late 20s into their 60s, want to date women 26 to 32 years old, whether or not kids factor into their plans.
