Matchmaking party, go or not?

SHANGHAI: The results of a recent survey showed that the majority of the
white-collar workers polled who had attended large-scale matchmaking
parties came away with bad impressions of such events.

More than 60 percent of the 250 valid respondents to the survey by
Shanghai Happy Life Consultancy Co Ltd said they did not like the
large-scale matchmaking parties they had attended and would not be going
to any more of them.

Leng Li, the manager of Shanghai Happy Life Consultancy, a matchmaking
agency, told China Daily that of the people who were dissatisfied with
the parties, women tended to be more dissatisfied.

Leng and her assistants sent survey questionnaires to hundreds of members
registered with her company for matchmaking services.

"I screened out irrelevant responses, so the survey results are based on
the 250 valid questionnaires from my members," she said. "As far as I
know, there were at least three such large-scale match-making events in
Shanghai."
