A matchmaker writing about more than 26 years of matchmaking says many clients are polite, but claims some requests and attitudes she has encountered are harsh. In her account, men’s preferences discussed include views on cosmetic procedures, clothing and body size, and judgments about particular family situations.

The reporting focuses on the kinds of criteria men reportedly raise when seeking partners. It also highlights that the matchmaker frames some of these remarks as “bitchy” or “savage,” including commentary about Botox and opinions about single mothers, as well as an “ideal” dress size she says is mentioned. While the articles do not indicate specific individuals or present verifiable data, they present the matchmaker’s long-running perspective on patterns in client conversations.

Both sources appear to draw from the same underlying article and present the same core claims: that men’s stated preferences can range from ordinary to judgmental, and that the matchmaker views some of that behavior as reflecting poorly on the people making the requests.
