Matchmaker Says: Who Marries Who?

February 17, 2016

This Chart Shows Who Marries CEOs, Doctors, Chefs and Janitors...

When it comes to falling in love, it’s not just fate that brings people together—sometimes it’s their jobs. We scanned data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2014 American Community Survey—which covers 3.5 million households—to find out how people are pairing up. Some of the matches seemed practical (the most common marriage is betweengrade-school teachers), and others had us questioning Cupid’s aim (why do female dancers have a thing for male welders?). High-earning women (doctors, lawyers) tend to pair up with their economic equals, while middle- and lower-tier women often marry up. In other words, female CEOs tend to marry other CEOs; male CEOs are OK marrying their secretaries.

When Matchmaker Boon sent this out to the team last week, it got us thinking...Hmm. So maybe we should be recruiting for/matching to compatible job types?

Other questions arose as well. Which of our matchmakers already take people's professions into consideration when matching them? If they do, in what way and why was that decision made - and how did it go? Matchmaker Christina provided some insight...

"Some clients come into this process with certain criteria or preferences in mind regarding status, education, career, and income, and many are surprised by their compatibility with matches presented that bear little resemblance to the figure in their heads that they've concocted over the years as their perfect soul mate.  This is the matchmaker's job, and the benefit of having a third party perspective and partner in this - to encourage discovery and growth.
I have found, however, that entrepreneurs are another game. People who've spent their entire adult lives in the state of *striving* and are bored with substantial, all-consuming goals tend to connect best with similarly high achieving workaholics. Thus CEO-pairing has become an almost common part of my job."

So there certainly does seem to be weight to this. Interested to see what profession type you are statistically a match for? Check it out here. 

Love, 

The Matchmakers

According to matchmakers, there are ways you can stay positive when single, and dating is making you all sorts of frustrated. "The pressures of dating stem from the need to uphold a dating mask," Julia Armet, Director of Operations at matchmaking service, Tawkify, tells Bustle. "We all fall into the game of dress-up, with social masks being one of the greatest blocks to establishing true intimacy." if you really want to stay empowered when you're looking for love, Armet says, stop dating and start connecting. "Human-to-human vulnerability is the natural consequence of two people allowing their inner selves to shine," she says.

So here are the best ways to stay empowered when dating is bringing you down, according to matchmakers... Read: How To Stay Positive While Dating, According To Matchmakers on Bustle.com!

"Authentic intimacy occurs in the realness of the ecosystem between two people now, not in the promise of a dynamic that may or may not ever come to fruition."

"Having everything in common is too much of a good thing," Kimia Mansoor, Professional Matchmaker at Tawkify tells Bustle. "Many people think that having shared interests means you've found your soulmate. Some dating apps even use mutually liked pages as a way of connecting people. When you have everything in common with your partner, you’ll find yourself without any time apart and without anything to contribute to one another's lives. A balance of common and separate interests is ideal, as having some separateness from your partner is essential to building a long-lasting bond." It's all about balance.
