That's a lot of assumptions tho.

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.

But don't they already have your money by then? They don't care if you stop chatting within their platform since you've already paid

I suppose so, if you pay for it, most of them are free. But that's besides the point, I just had a different experience from most people here, after 4-5 different housekeepers, I gave up and ended doing the work myself. So in that aspect, my experience has been the same as online dating.
