In online dating, desire and reality often diverge widely. The well-known dating agency PV-Exklusiv takes a different approach to make matchmaking really work.
At first glance, everything seems so simple: create a profile, spruce up all the information a bit and then start searching. Online dating platforms work in a similar way. A small problem: As a new study shows, many people looking for a partner want their partner to look better than they do or even to be very attractive. Even if they themselves look average compared to the social ideal. According to the study, this criterion of good looks counts even more than intellectual or financial background. US researchers call the phenomenon “playing out of one’s league,” as the journal “Science Advances” writes and the daily newspaper “Welt” reports. According to the study, men and women particularly like to write to people who are on average 25 percent more attractive than themselves when looking for a partner online.
It is better to have a reputable, discreet dating agency that is firmly anchored in the real world and has a wide reach
“This is of course a problem in the online dating sector. If an overweight, somewhat aging gentleman writes to a student with model measurements and perhaps also uses false information about himself, disappointment is usually inevitable. And we hear from our customers ourselves that this is hardly the exception: For this reason, many people turn away from these platforms after trying them out. “They prefer to hire a reputable, discreet dating agency that is firmly anchored in the real world and has a wide reach,” says Markus Poniewas, consultant and managing director of PV-Exklusiv.
The dating agency PV-Exklusiv (www.pv-exklusiv.de), based in the Düsseldorf region, is active throughout the German-speaking region and has been successfully bringing people of quality together for many years - for a common future.
Online dating portals: problem of nonsensical information
An article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) got to the heart of this problem of nonsensical information a few years ago: “Lots of card file corpses populate the supposedly lively flirt exchanges. The customers themselves also lie like hell: 'It's always the same,' complains one man. 'The office clerk, who is used to success and determined, turns out to be currently unemployed, the lawyer has been in the reorientation phase for two years.' 65 kilos quickly become 85, a 35-year-old becomes an early retiree,” it says (www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/netzwirtschaft/online-dating-der-schmu-mit-den-singleboersen-12265014.html).
Safety and comfort of customers are crucial
“Our aim is that these disappointing encounters do not occur, but that our potential couples can meet on equal terms. We make sure that our matchmaking works right from the start. To achieve this, we consistently rely on the strategy of getting to know each other personally and having detailed discussions,” emphasizes Markus Poniewas. It is not possible to contact singles via the website, an inquiry can only be sent to PV-Exklusiv be provided. “In this way, we significantly increase the safety and comfort of our customers. We decide who we introduce to them based on our customers' wishes. We will not give out contact details or photos at first. This strict process is very well received and has helped us achieve great success, especially with high-profile clientele.”
Equally important: “We ensure the best possible distribution of meaningful placement advertisements in media at the highest level in order to reach the top singles that the high-quality clientele want,” emphasizes Markus Poniewas. A large number of advertisements in high-quality newspapers and magazines are the be-all and end-all of a good dating agency and open up the best opportunities for singles looking for a partner, as they can reach a very large group of people: the chance to find the right partner with such an agency , is very high, the promise of success is also part of the strategy.
