I don't know if you're tried online dating, but in my experience, it hasn't been "sign up for a month, find your wife and you're done". I spent several years off and on with online dating (went on a lot of first dates, fewer several week relationships, and a few multi-month relationships) -- dating sites tend to give a steep discount for longer term (6mo, 12mo) subscriptions, so I was a subscriber for most of that time. Ending up finding my wife offline though. On the other hand, I found a housekeeper on Craigslist, called some of references (one was a neighbor), hired her, used her for a year, then when she moved out of the area, she referred me to someone else. Turns out it's a lot easier to find a housekeeper than a romantic partner. |

My experience with online dating has been the same, however mostly it's; match with a person, exchange a few words, exchange numbers, move on to WhatsApp. Yes, I do need to go back, but the middleman is almost always cut out instantly.
That said, my experience with finding a housekeeper has been the opposite of yours. I've had 4 different ones, and I ended up hiring none of them. This is not necessarily due to their professional skills, but mostly due to availability and trust. Just like finding a romantic partner. It's easier, but definitely not like you described for me. Hence why I saw them both as the same thing.
