Mahi-mahi S.

We appreciate the honest feedback and concerns as we try to improve our services year over year.

Please note our current network exceeds over 10k+ across the globe (including clients and vetted non-clients), with those predominantly in the United States. We are proud that this represents the largest pool of gay, male, LTR-seekers in the industry. We are also one of the only agencies that do not subscribe to blind dating, ask more questions, provide more transparency with market reports and strictly follow every one of our client’s deal breakers – whether physical, personal or lifestyle. For this reason, our rejection levels are higher than the average matchmaker. Our client’s must also approve of EVERY potential match before it becomes official. I say this to say that even with a large network, we never force an intro in order to fill a quota. Quality introductions with like-minded men, mutual interest and dually met criteria is of utmost important to us.

For example, we do not continue qualifying someone if our client desires children and a potential match does not or sexual role, for instance, where as we know, two bottoms don’t make a right. :) We follow laws of attraction qualities first, like distance, career, culture, religion, lifestyle, etc, then move to the next phase, including a possible personal connection. Many traditional matchmakers bypass this phase and project one onto another due to a limited network with no headhunting outside their network. Unfortunately, many potentials die on the vine at different points of the process but we always adhere to our client’s criteria. Our matchmakers give honest assessments based on sample size, our client’s and market feedback and, if need be, get more aggressive on their “hunt” – but again, never without pushing an intro. Much depends on one’s criteria, location and/or demographics. Their approach is customized based on these factors and relay this info, not only during the interview, but along the way as real time data comes in. A market report, called Optima (https://www.gayquation.com/optima.html), is provided several weeks into the process to give more insight and a transparent view to our clients, including further suggestions and plan going forward. All to optimize our client’s chances – controlling every variable we can on our end, including effort.

Typically, an over 2 hour interview is conducted with one of our Senior matchmakers, and while he may give suggestions in order to optimize his chances, we do not go beyond our client’s criteria without prior consent. Your assigned lead matchmaker, Nick Papadopoulos, typically conducts interviews that have ran as long as 4 hours, gives unfiltered assessments and answers queries within 24 hours, even on weekends. Along with a Senior matchmaker, a Junior matchmaker is part of every client’s team. They not only tap into our extensive network but begin headhunting from day number one as, yes, there may not be a match within the network. Our network has grown year over year in 15 years, however we do not take it for granted. Rather than assume matches will automatically come from there, our matchmakers spend much of their time, on our client’s behalf, headhunting - literally turning over stones from scratch – screening, reaching out, communicating and qualifying potential matches outside Gayquation. This is also how we have grown our vetted non-client pool, our largest network. We also conduct background checks of every green lit match. Matches are replaced if deal breakers are not met; misrepresentations; previous acquaintances; or non-communication starters.

Lastly, if any introductions remain on our client’s balance, they roll over to the next month. They are guaranteed or otherwise 75% of the LTR-seeking market within a 25 mile radius of our client’s location has been saturated. Even when a client stops his membership, he remains active until they have been fulfilled. Please see more here: https://www.gayquation.com/guarantee.html

Again, all potential matches that are interested in connecting MUST be approved by our client before becoming official as yours were. Rejected matches do not count towards one's balance of intros. Our client's feedback is used to narrow or broaden their matchmaking team's blinders going forward.

Please note that we strive to make our services as tangible as we can, but of course within reason. We value our client’s feedback – so much so - that we continually make changes even from just one person’s suggestion, including yours.

Please do reach out directly as I am happy to provide complimentary introductions as I do hope we are given a second opportunity.
