Companies that link for you in applications

Someone is getting through Eva (fictional name) in their ‘Tinder’ account, but it doesn't care...because he is paying for it.It could be a movie, but it's real life.Eva is a client of Life Select, a company that is responsible for doing the dirty work for her to find her ideal partner without dying in the attempt.Its services include from the writing of a striking profile to the appointment organization, through the choice of the most appropriate candidates with the exchange of messages included.

Cyranos ‘Online’

The original idea occurred to Scott Valdez, its founder and president (thank you, Scott!) In 2008: “For my work schedules, I had no time to flirt through the‘ Dating Apps ’.I went to a traditional pairing agency, but I only got blind dating with girls who did not even approach what I was looking for.I set out to improve my profile, and I saw that it was almost a job in itself!So I hired a person to do it for me and send messages in my name.It was all a success;So much, that my friends began to ask if my dating assistant could also help them.I realized that there were many people in the same situation and in 2009 I mounted the company ”.A few years before, specifically in 2003, the ‘site’ e-Cyrano was born, which was the true pioneer.His CEO and ‘Dating Coach’, Evan Marc Katz, repaired that in applications to link most people had trouble expressing themselves in a way that stood out and all profiles seemed cut by the same employer.That is why he decided to emulate the mythical Cyrano of Bergerac (hence the name of the web), that in the seventeenth century he got the knights to conquer their ladies 'blowing them' what they had to say, and start writing biographies that fell in love with the the rest.Those who dedicate themselves to this are known in the world as ‘Ghostwriters’ (ghost writers that remain in anonymity), a term that now jumps to the fore in our country thanks to the hilarious novel ‘It is not you, it is me’ (ed.Versatile), where two ‘ghostwriters’ have an arrow while they supplant other people.Although Katz points out: “We don't like calling us that way because we don't invent anything.We only capture what our clients tell us in an attractive way ”.And they attest with their comments: "I really liked my profile, catchy, easy to read and something poetic," says Debra."He showed my most adventurous side, which sometimes is hard for me to convey," says Laurel, who ended up marrying one of his suitors.50% of women who go to E-Cyrano are around 30 years old."They are young lists and success, they only lack love," says Katz.

Dive in your bio

So far everything sounds very idyllic, but how to make sure that what they say or do in your name really reflects you?"Our writers also act as psychologists," says Valdez. ".As Jarred says, my writing director, "to find the right voice of the girl you interpret, you must understand her, learn about her history, her future plans and her personality".Come on, they know more about you than yourself.These ‘communities’ of love operate worldwide;The only drawback is that you have to speak English (UPS).That, or wait for something similar to reach Spain.

At the moment, the closest thing that is - spreading the distances - is the ‘Chatbot Lara de Meetic’, a virtual ‘coach’ that advises you about how to complete your profile, find ‘matches’ suitable or start a conversation."Although we bet on the value that real, authentic and committed connections have," says Roelijne Peters, application director of the application for Europe.In general, the companies that operate here are not for the work of “industrializing the process of love meetings - as Marine Ravinet, director of Communication and Trends of‘ Happn— ’points out -’.The EE culture.UU.It is very oriented to the objectives and there does not matter how to find someone, but we are Latin and we like to enjoy the seduction process ”.From ‘Badoo’ they see very unlikely that ‘ghostwriting’ triumph.In addition, nothing happens if prose is not yours, surely you have other charms! ”

Great advantages

Being able to find something serious without being wrapped in a tide of messages is the greatest benefit of resorting to an appointment assistant.Also these other.

A ten profile

"Most people do not know how to write about themselves, how to describe their lifestyle in an interesting way or choose the photo that best reflects," says Scott Valdez, of Life Select.This type of professionals, yes.

More ‘matches’

As Evan Marc Katz says, from E-Cyranod, "having a good letter of presentation, with phrases that encourage the conversation, will make you attract guys in general and adapt to your particular ideal".Double benefit for you.

Time saving

According to SELECT life data, we can spend an average of 12 hours a week by diving between profiles in the appointments 'apps'.You will avoid this, in addition to the cumbersome task of separating the grain (those that make you tilín) from the straw (everyone else).

The route to success

79% of women find a partner with this system, according to SELECT life data.Of course, the price of fame goes from the 168 euros that E-Cyrano charges to write the profile, until 2.110 of spoonmeetspoon, which leaves it in your hands with the concerted appointment.This is the process.

First, you have to fill out a form (that of Life Select, for example, has more than one hundred questions) that collects a wide range of data about you.Information can vary from how you drink coffee to your hobbies, anecdotes, special talents, dreams...Then they delo a little more with a telephone interview that ranges between 40 and 90 minutes.

It's about doing a ‘restyling’ of your profile or creating one from zero if you are not in any ‘dating app’.In E-Cyrano you write to you for you to choose.And in Life Select they even take the photos.Once finished, you can review it and ask for the changes you consider.When you get your approval, it will be published."I choose the 'app' based on each person and then create the profile for that specific application," says Meredith Golden, creator of Spoonmeetspoon.To succeed in the choice, they also look at your age and the relationship you want: "Tinder is ideal for millennials looking for something informal, while Match is perfect for thirties who want something serious," says Scott Valdez, of Life Select.

While you dedicate yourself to making your life, your 'community' of love (connected to your accounts) will manage the proposals you receive;It will examine thousands of boys' profiles to find the ones that most adapt to your requirements and discard those who do not meet them, and will present a selection of the best to choose your favorites."It is easier to make the screen from the outside because you don't let yourself be dragged by emotions," Golden says.

At this point, your 'alter ego' will go to action.He will be the one who interacts in your name with the chosen."Before, we show the client some of the messages to break the ice that we are going to send.If we give us the OK, we get to it, ”explains Scott Valdez -.Then the 'chats' continue, which you can see at any time, until some 'match' raises the possibility of knowing yourself.If you feel like it, it goes to the last phase ".

The truth hour has arrived.With your approval, the expert will profile the plans of the remaining according to your tastes and/or give you your phone number.He assures that you are aware of everything that has been talked online so that you do not put the leg when you see in person your potential couple ("uy, forgive, I thought you were called Antonio").You just have to get pretty and enjoy the encounter.

How to get your presentation letter irresistible?Follow the advice of these experts.

Flee from the topics

Forget the classic "I am a friend of my friends".Evan Marc Katz recommends "counting concrete things that demonstrate why you can be a good couple".

Don't be ‘Yoist’

It's okay to talk about yourself, but also what kind of person would you like to go out."A mixture of Yo-tú is more interesting," says Scott Valdez.

Look for conciseness

"In your bio there must be enough material to generate a talk, but brief and organized so that the other person can easily choose the points with which to break the ice," describes Meredith Golden.

Choose your photo well

It must be a realistic portrait in which you are smiling and looking at the camera."Although the 'app' allows you to put six, if you only have three good, do not add more or you will pee," Golden warns.And don't even think about displaying your ‘hobbies’.No one is fine raising weights in the gym or with a bike helmet...And if you have doubts, there is an app that helps you choose the correct photo.
