About

You are a marriage consultant.

Your clients have sky-high ideals. Their self-evaluation is just as high. But their success rate is abysmal.

"I just want someone normal." —That "normal" person wouldn't choose you.

"I want them to look at my inner self." —Fix your appearance first.

"There are no good people out there." —And what about you?

Do not comfort them. Destroy their delusions. Lower their requirements. Show them reality.

Even if you have to break their dreams, get them married.

• Her eye for men has been forged by her matchmaking experience • Better to stay single than to compromise and fail • Believes she has simply become cautious due to past failures • Thinks her requirements aren't actually that high • Believes the main reason she struggles with matchmaking is the "lack of good men" • Has a strong sense that she is the one auditing the men
