With the convenience of dating apps, matchmaking services have dwindled in popularity. However, as seen in Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking, there are still people who rely on a matchmaker to find their other half.
Recently, one matchmaker in China has gone viral for her unique matchmaking sessions, and netizens are asking if she’d be willing to host a “world tour” for singles around the world.

Known as Auntie Wang, the 61-year-old matchmaker hosts regular matchmaking sessions in Kaifeng, a city in the Henan province of China. Her matchmaking sessions are extremely popular, resembling K-pop group fan meetings, with singles crowding the area.
Her method of matchmaking is simple ‒ she brings singles up on stage, and asks them about their background, age, and preferences. Any audience member who finds themself fitting the requirements can come on stage for a chance at finding love.

Considering the large number of singles available at these matchmaking sessions, there were many occasions when a participant had numerous suitors stepping up. However, Auntie Wang never pressured these participants to choose a partner on the spot, and offered them the chance to exchange contacts instead.
Moreover, Auntie Wang’s witty humour and unique approach to entertaining the audience add to the charm of her matchmaking sessions.
Through various clips of Auntie Wang’s matchmaking services, many noticed that audience members near the stage also directly reached out to the participants, and asked for their contact information. This means even if you don’t dare to head up to the stage, you can always ask for their contact later.
Interestingly, Auntie Wang’s popularity has reached the ears of foreigners, as some have flown to China to attend her matchmaking sessions. For them, it is a small price to pay, especially if they get to walk home with the right person.
In the past year, Auntie Wang has successfully arranged more than 50 marriages, cementing her reputation as a professional and trustworthy matchmaker. That said, netizens from across the world are also asking if she will be having a “world tour” to help singles find their significant other.
Perhaps with Auntie Wang’s successful matchmaking stories, she could inspire singletons in Singapore to engage matchmakers to find their other half. This method might work better for those who are not keen on using dating apps to expand their social circle.
