Matchmaking, in most cases, apart from one's parents, cannot trust a single word said by others.
Parents, at least, will consider whether their child can live peacefully after marriage.
If viewed by others, it would merely consist of, "Hey, I know a guy," and, "Hey, I also know a girl," followed by, "Let me introduce you!"
The mentality of stirring up excitement always exceeds the hope for your wellbeing.
In the past, not just anyone could be a matchmaker; it wasn't as simple as finding an old woman with bound feet, armed with a tobacco pipe and some makeup to play the role. Poor families couldn't afford a proper matchmaker and had to blindly trust the meddling of distant relatives; they had no choice.
