Throw in the fact that in today's world of marriages freely arranged and freely entered into, people aren't as willing as they once were to accept the say-so of a matchmaker, and the success rate of traditional methods like meetings with prospective marriage partners isn't what it used to be.
加上在戀愛自由、擇偶自由的社會氣氛下，現代人又不似前人甘心接受媒妁之言，傳統的相親、作媒方式，成功率也就今非昔比了。
