In Mala Fide had a post yesterday on a new matchmaking service called Tawkify. Let me resort to minimizing irony by saying it wasn’t a compliment. Tawkify is the online embodiment of the old-fashioned matchmaking service, or of the Yenta in Fiddler On The Roof, who picks out “The Right Boy” for the client’s girl and proposes to serve him up, as it were, on a platter.
But it gets better. Tawkify is just possibly the most female-enabling such service, yet; because it not only gives all the control to the woman, but all the information, too. Men pay $8 for the privilege of getting a seven-minute phone call from an unknown woman – who, on her side of it, signs up for free, got your dossier (including photo, profession, no-doubt your salary and possibly your credit-rating, too!) and decided you were a likely bicycle for her phishing trip.
You, sir, on the other hand, should feel way more than $8 worth of privileged, just to get that seven-minute call from the Secret Princess. All you need to know, in the Tawkify business model, is that she is Ready To Be Worshipped, and that you were selected for her personally by E. Jean Carroll and her trusty sidekick Kenneth. All you have to do – all you get to do, in the Twatkify universe – is to lie back in an imaginary field of daisies, stare up into an imagined sunny blue sky, and build yourself a delusion of loving excitement sparked by the voice, just the voice mind you, of your designated Goddess.
How are they doing, business-wise? Here’s a quote from the BetaBeat (!) article that introduced Tawkify – I think it expresses the essential misandry of E. Jean and her service, very concisely:
How many people have signed up so far?
Let’s say lots of women. And it’s not that we don’t have men signing up, we have not as outstanding… I can’t match these superlative women with these dudes.
Wow. That’s remarkable, E. Jean. Or “E. Yenta.” Or “E-Yenta.” Do you do Pavlovian dog-training, too? Like, perhaps, teaching the “dudes” to get aroused when you ring the little bell?
I join the bloggers below in wishing Twatkify “plenty of fish” – and no bicycles!

“because it not only gives all the control to the woman, but all the information, too.”
As I mentioned on FB’s site – I see no indication in the quotes that he gives that this is true. I think he may have completely misread the situation.
As far as I can see, the “yenta” gets the photos and question answers from both men and women and matches them up. And that’s it. Sure – she has revolting attitudes, but that’s not the point at issue.
Go through the interview transcript yourself, and see if it actually says what FB says it says.
Paul … I decline to be bothered to do so.
I did go through the interview transcript, and it is my considered opinion that E-Yenta Carroll is quite completely contemptuous of 99.5% of the men who might pony up their $8 for one seven-minute phone call from a Privileged Princess. I, for my own turn, am quite completely contemptuous of E-Yenta and her blatantly misandric business model.
If you think E-Yenta is worthwhile, go have fun.

BeijaFlor,
I just linked to this post of yours as someone made a pertinent comment on my second to last post on the topic of matchmaking.
Interesting topic!
