Vida Select adds an expensive Middle Man
Vida Select is an overly expensive way to use the apps. It essentially just adds a middle man to your use of bumble or hinge. My matchmaker was super friendly and professional, but would say things like “Hi! What do you think of [This Person] Strong Alignment: Travel and spontaneous lifestyle Active, outdoors, skiing Confident energy and communication style Social intelligence and banter compatibility Director level, owns/operates a business” She just quoted me what was on their profile page. I felt ripped off paying almost $2k a month to for someone to read me a profile. This happened with almost every match. Unless your Vida representative has access to something other than Bumble or Hinge, it’s not worth the money for something you can do yourself. I asked for help from Vida because I’m in an incredibly unique position in life and needed help with vetting. There was no vetting, just profile regurgitation, and also, unfortunately none of the men were attractive. I asked several friends if i was being too picky and multiple times different friends asked if my matchmaker had eyes. Finally, i did go on four dates, all of the men were incredibly smitten with me and i felt terrible having to let them down because the matchmakers didn’t vet them well enough and they had jobs that couldn’t move, or wanted a more traditional woman (cooked, cleaned, stay at home mom which in another life would have been great but that is not a life I can accommodate right now). I’m rating it a 3, because I know it’s helped some people, but I have a hunch those people have not used the apps themselves, or they’d realize there was nothing profound about the service.
