Matchmaking Tips: Out With the Old and In With The New...love

Janis Spindel — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:58:00 GMT

When most people in the Hamptons are lounging at the beach on their weekends, I took a different approach to spending my Sunday morning....

Every year the Jewish Center of the Hamptons has an incredible yard sale. Visitors come from all over to line up at 7AM for a 10AM start! So of course, me being the avid shopper that I am- I was there at 9AM SHARP!!!

Just when I thought that my morning couldn't get any better...as soon as I walked in I saw the most gorgeous dark curly haired man leaning up against the fence with a puzzled expression on his face.

Soooo of course, I head directly toward him.

"Your first time?" I asked.

Immediately he blushed ,"My first time?" He giggled.

Ha..A playful one...I thought!

"I meant the yard sale..is this your first time here?" I laughed.

"No, not my first time, just looking for a bicycle, but I haven't seen any as of yet." he responded.

"A bike??... I would have thought a surf board with that dark messy hair of yours...is the bicycle for around here?" I asked.

"Yes.for my surfboard to get to the beach actually ...I just weekend out here in Montauk I stay pretty busy!" he said.

"And what do you do? I asked.

"I'm General Counsel at a big law firm way out on Long Island."

"Very nice, whereabouts did you go to school?" I probed.

" I went to Tufts Undergrad and New York Law."

"So you're smart and good looking!...so of course my next question had to be... do you have a girlfriend?? I asked.

"Oh..no, I see where this is going! Let me guess.... your one of those " matchmakers!"

"No, I'm not one of those matchmakers, I'm THE matchmaker." I said.

"And why would I need a matchmaker, I'm only 36." he quickly responded.

"Thirty six years old, BEYOND ADORABLE , you live in the city, work in Long Island -and are surfing out in Montauk on the weekends and HELLO....SINGLE?? -you're going to have no choice but to work with me one day, at the rate your going!!!!" I said.

"Maybe I do need to slow things down a little..but we'll just have to wait and see." he smiled.

Do I screen guys fast or what girls???...good looking- went to two great schools, 36 years old, and single..all in the matter of minutes!!!!

With me, you never know where you'll meet a client!

As they always say...One person's trash, is another ones treasure...even at a yard sale!

Serious Matchmaking Inc. Presents "Flirting with Fennel"

Serious Matchmaking Inc. Presents Flirting with Fennel

Doing what I do best, no not matchmaking, my second passion- shopping! Although not for me this time! I was food shopping for all of my guests for the biggest matchmaking weekend of the summer-
July 4^th! in the Hamptons of course!

Walking around minding my own business, or not! I overheard a woman speaking to her husband about “fennel”.

Hmm....fennel!? I love fennel! I thought.

So of course, I ask the husband, “Which is fennel? What do you do with it? Which part do you eat?” Do you have to peel it?”

Haha- can you tell I’ve never cooked fennel before!

Out of left field – I hear: “Frank, you have to charge her for all of this information- no freebies,” said this BEYOND handsome man standing 3 feet away, (wearing a Princeton t-shirt I might add).

“Just because you went to Princeton , doesn’t mean you’re so smart!” I said jokingly.

“Haha, No, worse! I didn’t go to Princeton , I paid for someone to go,” he responded.

“Oh yeah, son or daughter?” I questioned him.

“My son,” he responded.

“Oh?? What does he do,let me guess... a banker of course at Goldman Sachs?”

“No, he’s a diplomat! He’s forty, never married and lives in the city now,” he said,

Never married?” I asked.(of course this was music to my ears)

“Maybe he isn’t interested in women.”(OK thats something my RADAR didn't even think of !!) He recently has a partner! He’s a great guy… Well, what about me? I’m single!

“Whoa, really? Where do you live?” I asked him. (my matchmaking radar in full gear)

“ Palm Beach ”, he said.

“Go figure, everyone says they’re from Palm Beach .”

“No, but unlike all the other guys I really am from Palm Beach., but staying out here with these friends for the week!”

After further interrogation in front of the produce counter, I found out that he was in his sixties,a WEALTHY retired gentleman….my kind of client!

Matchmaker Spots Hottie in Aisle 3!

Janis Spindel — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 23:32:00 GMT

Sunday June 28,2009
Matchmaker Spots Hottie in Aisle 3!

Before I put my matchmaker’s hat on and begin my day at the beach, I decided to make a quick trip to the grocery store, King Kullen, in the Bridgehampton Commons of course. What I had planned to be a quick “in and out” trip, turned out to be more than I bargained for.

Thinking that the store would be empty, (being a beach day), I was pleasantly surprised, when I found myself standing on line behind a BEYOND HANDSOME man.(A matchmaker's delight!!)

Although this guy was hotter than hot, he had an angry look on his face; anyone would think he was ready to EXPLODE! Normally, this would be anyone’s queue to “stay away! But you know me!!!!! Shy miss matchmaker.

So, I slide my way in between him and the five other people in line (of course in my “World’s Coolest Mom” t-shirt”).

“Well what are you so angry about?” I asked.

Looking at me with the “get away from me face” he said, “This is the last place I want to be on a Sunday ...and the help here is Awful!” The whole month of June has been an absolute wash! This is not why I pay 500k for my summer."

“It costs you 500k to rent your house here? WOW…Where do YOU live??” I asked extremely interested.

“No, I don’t rent a house, I own a house in Sagaponack,” He responded.

The most expensive zip code in the country, I might add! Boy, would I love to see his estate!

“So you’re from the Hamptons?” I asked him.

“Nope, I’m from Palm Beach,” he said abruptly.

Changing the subject quickly, I got right to the point.

“So why are you doing all the grocery shopping- and not your wife?”(My way of confirming his bare ring finger)

“I guess she’s just smarter than me.” He said.

“Oh? and how many kids do you have?" I asked.

“Four kids, what are you a detective ?” he questioned me.

(I get that a lot!) “Not quite” I smirked.

As I passed over my card, he smiled back at me for the first time during our conversation...

“You know…You’re much better looking when you smile…” I said.

As you can see, picking up guys isn’t as hard as everyone thinks, it can happen anywhere and at anytime…and a married man, can be just as good as a single one…because trust me some of my best referrals are from my “random run- ins” with married men!

Matchmakers Double Take

Janis Spindel — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 16:38:00 GMT

Matchmakers DOUBLE TAKE
June 20, 2009

Everyone who is familiar with my matchmaking services,knows that my summers are spent in my Bridgehampton office and what better place is filled with plenty of GREAT events and benefits to go to all summer. All of which I try to attend, not only for the good cause, but a great way to network!

Last Saturday, I attended with a very lucky women Julie ,( who was about to learn where and how to pick up men)the Love Heals Benefit @ Luna Farm… (Which had to be moved indoors because of the rain!!?) A very upscale venue for me to do some matchmaking of course!

As we were walking around scoping the scene, I thought I saw my first celebrity sighting of the summer…normally I wouldn’t be too phased- but I had just seen the new movie, Proposal with hottie Ryan Reynolds- I had a double take when his look alike walked by.

“I have a question, did you see the new movie, Proposal with that hotter than hot guy, Ryan Reynolds- that I might add you look 10x better than?!” I said.

Flustered and blushing, this 6”2, tall, dark and handsome man just said, “Thank you!”

His reserved and shy attitude didn’t bother me in the least. I still drilled him with my usual questions. I come to find out that “my movie star” was in his 30s, never married and living in the city, and of course owns a house in the Hamptons!

Although, when I asked him about his occupation, He quickly responded with, “I do a lot of things...”

(Rich I said to myself).

Hmm? But before I had time to ask him about his job, over walks this tall gorgeous skinny blonde!

“You must be her next target! Janis hones in on the hottest guys- she probably wants you to be on her matchmaking roster… or maybe a client? she interrupted.

Some of you would probably think that she may have ruined things, but believe me, nothing phases me! Without hesitation, I passed my card over…

“You really think I need a matchmaker?!” he said.

“Well you are at this event flying solo… so you tell me?” I asked.

When I had a moment alone with “Barbie”, she had told me that my “movie star” was a player, go figure!

Hey- you can’t win them all! But no harm in trying….on to the next!

As usual he will be back after he is done playing around ……..THEY ALL ARE EVENTUALLY!!!!!!!!!!

Matchmakers Walk of Shame

Janis Spindel — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:26:00 GMT

June 19, 2009
Year of the Matchmaker

It was a matchmaker’s dream Friday night in the Hamptons, raining cats and dogs…wish it was raining men…but anyway...

Walking into one of the hottest restaurants in the Hamptons, TRATA, I was pleasantly surprised by an incredibly good looking man standing outside the place with his arms folded, and the sexiest expression on his face… I was immediately drawn to him! Perfect for my matchmaking service.

“Why do you look like you’re leaving so early? No luck picking up the ladies?!” I said obnoxiously.

Laughing at my approach, He responded with “No, we’re probably going to head to Savannahs- pick up some girls there!” he said smirking to his friend.

“Ha-ha, of course you are! So where’s you’re house in the Hamptons?”

“I’m staying with a friend in South Hampton”…he said sneakily.

“Guys night out… I see” This was all too familiar, where did I know this guy from?

“Why do I think I’ve seen you before? He asked me before I could approach him with the same question.

“That’s easy- you’ve probably seen me in the media, my occupation revolves around that!” I said. ( Afterall I am America’s top matchmaker)

“So what publication is yours?” he asked.

“No, I don’t work with a publication, I’m just written up a lot on what I do!”

“On what you do?” ...Oh wait a minute, does you’re name begin with a “J”?

Simultaneously, as he came to the realization of who I was, I knew EXACTLY who I was talking to!

“I knew who you were!” Eric from Aspen! we met in March! I was there on business, and yet again you were off on a guy’s weekend getaway!” I said.

(If you haven’t realized by now, this is the SAME married guy who was hitting on every woman he came across during our week there!)

“Small world…and look at you- you are still BEYOND handsome but seriously disgusting! Still up to the same tricks! What are you doing here? And where are the wife and kids?” I yelled.

“Why? What’s the problem?”, he laughed.

Typical answer from a cheater…I thought.

“Why don’t you get back to your wife and kids?!” I said. And at the point, I immediately texted my assistant, Ashley- I knew she would get a kick out of this! (Of course letting him know I was blowing up his spot).

Eric walked away embarrassed and ashamed, (as he should be), although this time his walk of shame was not from a “successful” hookup the night before….hopefully lesson learned!

Matchmakers " CHIPS and SALSA"

Janis Spindel — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:11:00 GMT

Being the matchmaker I am, I was making my way around the Dallas Ritz, scouting for men of course! I spotted two young handsome men leaning up against the bar munching on peanuts. (Perfect for my matchmaking business)

“So what are you two handsome guys doing not speaking with any of the beautiful women in the bar?” I interrupted.

They both laughed.

“Actually he’s my lawyer- we’re having a meeting,” said the 6”4 gentlemen with the salt and pepper hair.

(I might add, that he was also a high end real estate developer- BINGO! My matchmaking radar hones in again)

Pretty casual meeting, I thought... “So are you a divorced lawyer?”

“Actually yes, I am.”

“And divorced with three or four kids? I asked.

“Ha-ha, yes I am, and I do have four, and John here has four as well.”

“What is this a Dallas thing?” Four kids! And you’re divorced too I’m assuming.”

“Yes, well in the midst of getting a divorce, that’s why Bob is here!”

“Handles all your dirty work then, right?

“Something like that, and who handles yours?” he asked friskily.

And of course, as he prompted the question, my assistant Ashley comes into the conversation.

“So is this your daughter?” Asked John.

(The annoying line we always hear.)

“Nope, I’m her assistant!”

After exchanging introductions, Ashley quickly noticed that “our lawyer” resembled someone quiet popular.

“You know who you look like, you look like that actor on that old TV show, CHIPS…Eric Estrada??” she asked.

Both laughing, as if they have heard this plenty of times before.

“Yup, I’ve gotten that many times, I’m chips, and this is my partner salsa.”

“Clever…I like that “chips and salsa”…my favorite!

These two had the looks, brains and career- the perfect Dallas duo for my matchmaking search!

Matchmakers" SOLE-MATE with the SHINEY SHOES"

Janis Spindel — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:08:00 GMT

Matchmaking tour…Off again, this time Dallas, Oklahoma City and Tulsa! Walking through La Guardia Airport on a VERY early Monday morning, I was caught dead in my tracks by a tall handsome man getting his shoes shined.

“Well why not?” I said to myself. I could use a little buffer- my Prada's were a little dusty! Must keep my appearance up as America’s top matchmaker.

“So where are you flying to that you need your shoes shined?” as I sat down next to him.

“Dallas”, he responded.

“Lucky you, we’ll be on the same flight! Are you a Dallas guy or a New York hottie?”

Of which he said, “I live in New York, traveling to Dallas on business?

“What do you do?” I asked. (My matchmaking radar hones in again)

“Probably the same thing you do.”

(A sarcastic guy challenging my humor this early in the morning.) “You’ll never guess in a million years.” I laughed.

“I'm intrigued”...

“Are you single or are you married?”

“Actually just recently engaged!”

And then I introduced myself…

“Why do I know that name?”

Passing over my card
I then asked, so who are you engaged to?

He explained that he was just recently engaged to a woman named Lauren___.

I was shocked, as soon as he said Lauren!

“Oh my God, I know her, and she is BEYOND AWESOME!!!!!!!

“So you're “the” Janis Spindel-Americas top matchmaker!” I can now finally put a face to the stories!” He said.

It just so happens that Lauren had come to me a few years back for my help, and look at her now! Walking down the aisle with a beyond handsome INVESTOR! Tall, good looking, and educated! Leave it to me and my RADAR to track him down!

Looks like my pep talks and books gave her a “step” in the right direction...she is going down the aisle with a tall, dark, handsome and successful HOTTIE!

Matchmaker Tours 10 Cities Looking for a Wife

Janis Spindel — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:13:00 GMT

Matchmaker on the Road: CHICAGO -DENVER- VAIL -L.A.- SAN DIEGO -RANCHO SANTA FE- ASPEN MICHIGAN- NAPLES - SARASOTA and now off again.

As the traveling matchmaker that I am, I was exhausted to say the VERY least! Even with MY energy!!!!!

Out of left field came emails and phone calls to my NY matchmaking headquarters from Toronto so at the 11th hour I was on my way to Toronto!!--- HELLOOOO just flying back from Naples and Sarasota who needed this now??? Men call I FLY!!!!!

Sitting on the plane almost ready to rest my head for a 30 second snooze, when a tall dark and HANDSOME guy with dimples (to make matters even more distracting) sits right next to me!

“Oh god- here we go again Janis”- I said to myself. My Matchmaking radar never sleeps.

Trust me, as tired as I am- I NEVER stop-as my clients tell me-I’m 25/8!

“You are adorable” I said. Not one of my most creative lines, But with the lack of sleep I had, that’s the best I could do!

“Well thank you.”

“How old are you? Twenty what?”

“Thanks, but no…I’m 33.”

“Are you from Canada or New York?”

“I’m Canadian, but I just moved back from Paris to New York.”

The conversation continued, to find out he was living in Paris for three and half years, traveled over 20 countries, works for a global finance company for the past eight years, and now has moved back to SOHO, (dual passport I might add!)

“How does your girlfriend handle all of this traveling? I asked
“I don’t have one.”

I already knew that, my radar is always ON of course.

Of which I pulled out a card, and got his!

“You KNOW that I will call you as soon as I get back to New York, so we can go out on our simulated date, and I will tell you who you are going to MARRY!!!!!! Oh my god those dimples, are you CUTE!!!!

Matchmakers DOUBLE TROUBLE

Janis Spindel — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 21:57:00 GMT

Matchmakers DOUBLE TROUBLE

As America's top matchmaker, some of you may or may not know, when summer approaches I say goodbye to Manhattan and head to my Beach matchmaking office in the Hampton's for the summer!

The beach, benefits/parties, and some of the hottest restaurants and clubs all have my name all over them!

Of course the first weekend in the summer, (Memorial Day). My 23yr old daughter and her three friends, believe it or not needed me for my matchmaking business skills (her cool mom) to get her into all of the hottest clubs and the newest trendiest restaurant in East Hampton, PHILIPPE, (by the way the bar was 4 feet deep in HOT men and women) and the food was YUMMY!!! A real matchmakers dream.

I of course got invited to the opening of THE NEWEST restaurant/lounge in the Hampton's, Georgica. It was my first time there, and will certainly not be my last!

Within minutes, I was seeing DOUBLE! No, I wasn’t drinking! Two 6’4 ft, good looking twins strolled past me. And if you know me already and how I built my matchmaking business, you know not a chance in China were they going to get passed me.. SO I was on them like white on rice !!!

“Two for the price of one!” I said.

Both of them giggled, which of course made me blush. They were twins for god-sakes! HOTTER THAN HOT AND IDENTICAL . I later learned Cameron and Tyler, 28 yrs. old grew up in Greenwich, both single and on the crew team together for Harvard nonetheless!

To top it off, they had bodies like you have never seen-All I wanted to do was hug them!

“So you’re telling me- you have the whole package! Looks, body, and brains! And there are two of you! I must be in Hampton's Heaven!

A nice way to kick off the summer….CAN YOU IMAGINE what the summer has in store ????

STAY TUNED I’m on a ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matchmaker on the Move Again - First Class Ticket to Love

Janis Spindel — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 21:46:00 GMT

Matchmaker on the Move Again
First Class Ticket to Love

Once again, as America’s top matchmaker, I was on the move. This time, I was on my way back to New York after spending a sizzling week in Miami interviewing more women for another one of my most eligible Miami bachelors; and of course got another new Miami guy!

Unable to coordinate flights, I got to the Miami Airport a few hours early to see my assistant off. As I was waiting for my flight (and splurging on a delicious Cinnabon), Mr. Hotter-Than-Hot caught my eye about 20 ft away. He was 6’3 with movie star good looks – I had to meet him immediately. He sounds perfect for my upscale matchmaking service.

I grabbed a last bite before ditching the rest of my cinnabon and headed over. As I made my move, he started yawning as he looked at his cell phone.

“Wow it looks like you’re falling asleep over here”, I say as I causally approach him. “You don’t have a girlfriend to keep you occupied?”

“Nope, I’m single”, he replies. Jackpot!

Mark is a gorgeous 34 year old, who works in sports medicine, has never been married, but wants to settle down and have a few kids. And I’m just the person (matchmaker) to help him. He was on his way home to Chicago, when his flight was conveniently rerouted from New Jersey …just my luck! Things do happen for a reason!

As we continued to chat and exchange business cards, I knew this guy was hooked, wasting no time- I called him Monday morning!

Constantly traveling, and of course always in airports, one may find this to be a nuisance and quite exhausting…but I can tell you first hand that this is one of the best places to meet men!

So pack your bags ladies, and get on board!
Best, Janis Spindel www.janisspindelmatchmaker.com

Matchmaker moves in on Aspen- "A Blizzard of MEN " Another city…another success!

Janis Spindel — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:53:00 GMT

Being surrounded by breathtaking views of snow covered mountains and beautiful people! - Who could ask for anything more! My matchmaking service was about to begin!

Last week, I made my way to Aspen, Colorado to find one of Aspen’s wealthiest bachelors a wife!

My trip brought me multiple prospects for my client. After meeting many beautiful and charming women on my bacholrette search, I certainly had quite a few to pick from.

Our first morning, we ate breakfast at the infamous Poppycocks, my assistant and I sat down next to an incredibly stunning women! (she had to be a model) Although… she was sitting with a man almost twice her age!

Of course as soon as he got up from the table, I moved in - asking her who he was and what their “deal” was?

Blushing and surprised at my blunt approach, she continued to explain that he was just a friend, a friend who was in love with her for years! (Sugar daddy? I said to myself) Melissa was a model in L.A., and a frequent visitor to Aspen, and surprisingly a single mother! God did she look good for having two kids…

She was a stunning woman to say the least, but not the right one for my guy..NEXT!!

My matchmaking service began with my first night conducting interviews, I met a potential candidate! Karen was a tall, blonde,Real Estate tycoon. She was an intelligent single mother of two looking for a stable husband. I liked this one. She had the looks, intelligence and charm that would make any man think twice. Of course with a package deal like this one, I immediately passed her information onto my client! A future wife perhaps???

But one was not enough! He needed more options…so I continued my week long search. In and out of stores, restaurants and of course my scheduled interviews, I met droves of women! Some young, some old, some divorced, some with kids….whatever it may be- these were all great women looking for love… and they came to the right place!

In my week long search for the perfect match, I scoured Aspen’s hot spots; dining at the nicest restaurants, shopping at the best stores and of course being at the mountain during the height of the season! And let me tell you- I was pleasantly pleased with my findings; from hot ski instructors, bartenders, to your wealthy brokers- I met them all! Aspen was on fire last week (a beautiful 65 degrees to be exact)!

My assistant and I were on cloud nine with the blizzard of men we were seeing! Everywhere you turned- we were greeted by incredibly handsome men all looking for love! Having to fight them off by the “3's"!! Hey I’m not complaining- it certainly was a breath of fresh air (literally). I was at the right place at the right time! Let the matchmaking begin!

Day 1

Our trip over to Aspen was awful, to say the least; a 6 hour delay at LaGuardia Airport, and a 4 hour, ($600 taxi ride) to Aspen at 4am!!! (But my client WILL be paying for that)
On our first night out, my assistant and I went to one of the trendiest restaurants in town; called Campo…and boy did we luck out! There were men EVERYWHERE!

Delirious from exhaustion, but we made ourselves comfortable at the bar scoping the scene.yet it turns out “the scene” was right in front of us!

“So I’m guessing in order to bartend here you have to be good looking?” I asked the bartender.

Interrupted by no other than the hottest Austrian in Aspen! Ladies, no joke…He stood 6”4, ripped body and had long, dark wavy hair.

He sat right next to us, completely staring us down... which of course we didn’t mind!

“Do I know you?” he asked us in his incredible Austrian accent.

“I don’t believe so??…my assistant said casually. (Using that as her “queue” and diving right into the conversation).

“Can you blame her?” His accent alone would make anyone fall head over heels.

Of course he blushed, moved his chair closer (a little too close) and began to talk about what he does best…skiing! Go figure he was a ski instructor by day, “après ski at night” haha...Not a bad combo!

Having no shame whatsoever (probably from being around me so often), she asked him, “So…does this mean I get a free skiing lesson while I’m here?”

And that was it…she had him!

As she did her “thing,” I kept myself busy with a few more of his friends who strolled in. They were literally hovering over our chairs all night!

One of my favorites, whom I still keep in contact with, was Eric. Eric came in dressed to impress, wearing a buttoned down shirt and a sharp blazer. He had that beyond handsome Richard Gere look …wow was I in heaven!

He immediately offered us drinks…we were on an hour and a half of sleep,so we’re not exactly drinking, but thought what the heck

I found out that he is a well known figure in town, proving himself to be extremely articulate, funny, and incredibly handsome; although he was divorced with children, and of course looking for love in all the wrong places; that’s what happens when you catch your wife with the mechanic! Poor guy...

Day 2

Unfortunately, not everyone can be as charming and thoughtful as Eric and Chris... On our second night, I spotted a strikingly young, handsome man without a wedding band!

He had the looks of a movie star and a smile that could kill... it was clear I needed to know his story.

Since I was wrapped up with interviews, I immediately had my assistant chase after him… We couldn’t let this one go!

“Is this seat taken?” she said in front of a group of older guys.

“Of course not, please sit down.”

Conversation continued, and of course all eyes were on her. Young attractive, girl complimenting a group of older guys…they were putty in her hands- all 10 of them!

But as the conversation continued, she noticed that the one guy she was chasing after, lets call him “Brian”, had wandering eyes…to almost every woman who walked in!

Discouraged? Maybe a little at first, but she needed to know more. No wedding band…week vacation with a bunch of guys. And wandering eyes to say the least!!!!

So, of course she asked his friend, Justin what the deal was! (That’s another story. I’ll get to that in minute)

Just what we all thought…42 years old, married, three kids,and a gorgeous wife! Being the bold person that I am, I immediately joined his party after my sessions, and got first hand what this Brian character was really all about…long story short, CHEATS- not my kind of guy!

Day 3

Moving on… (Or backwards if you will). Let’s get back to the hero of the story…..Justin.

Now its not as if I didn’t notice Justin…because I certainly did…I notice everyone! He was softer spoken than our “Brian the charmer.” But sometimes, the shy ones are the right ones. Like Brian, Justin has two kids and was vacationing with “the guys” in Aspen. But, unlike Brian he was DIVORCED and willing to tell the truth! He is a handsome, successful father of two, visiting Aspen to relax, not prey on young women! And so ripe and ready to meet the right women after being on the dating treadmill for two years!

This was my kind of guy….and guess what lunch is already on the calendar, because he is from New York!

Typical, I went for women and found tons of men!….besides the very handsome Aspenites… Men from Boston - California - Houston- New York and even Bermuda, it was “SNOWING MEN” from every city…

So as soon as I get home, I run right to the office, check my message pad, and Murphy’s Law- another Aspen guy!!! He’s a 50 year old divorced man with twins and obviously looking for the perfect wife!....

About face Aspen…here I come, but traveling “private” this time! TOTALLY DONE WITH the "commercial "flying at least to Aspen!

Matchmaking Tips for Women- The Slam Dunk

Janis Spindel — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:45:00 GMT

SLAM DUNK

It's 11:30am on Febuary 25th , Wednesday morning, and I'm walking on 75th & Madison in gym clothes while doing errands... I was suddenly stopped dead in my tracks by a jolly green giant!

Of course, I didn’t let my casual appearance stop me..I approached him immediately!

"So what are you 6"5, 6"7?" I asked him.

Surprised at my approach, he blushed and responded, "Close, but I'm 6"9!:

“And let me guess you never played hoops.”

“Actually I played pro in Spain where David Beckham played soccer, when I was living in Europe .

"Is your wife tall," (knowing with my radar- he was single).

“I don’t have a wife.” Music to my ears!

Now feeling intrigued with the conversation I inquired as to what an incredibly, tall good- looking man does with his life. I gave him my card and he stopped dead in his tracks to read it.

“Are you one of those …what do you call them?

… a matchmaker?

I soon discovered that my very own "Michael Jordan" received his MBA at NYU, and has worked on Wall Street for over twenty years, and just turned 60! Many long relationships, but never married. Hmmmm….

Ladies if that's not enough for you..I can teach you the same radar I have; single – IVY-educated and rich – happens everytime!

Continuing my errands, with his business card in hand.. "I said to myself "Janis, you just got yourself another slam dunk!"

Matchmaking Service Janis Spindel quoted in NY Post Feb. 23, 2009,written by Dareh Gregorian.

Ladies and Gentlemen...drum rolls please...as promised, I have breaking news.

One of my former men clients who sued me for his $50,000 fee, admits that his suit was "frivolous" and "a terrible mistake."

He accused me of setting him up with a "stable" of women he had little or nothing in common with.

I counter sued him for defamation, saying the women weren't the problem-he was.

My former client, Paul, admits publically that his suit was "frivolous and a terrible mistake."

He quotes "You were hard working and relentless" and "one of the nicest people I have ever met."

What this means to you ladies, is the flood gates will open as men will call to my matchmaking service with full confidence, knowing that I am THE BEST.

Men, that's right...you guessed it. Ladies will flock to me as they know that it will now be raining men and I just might have your wife in my matchmaking service.

Call my office at 212 987 1582.

Best, Janis

Matchmaker and Mr. Fix It

Janis Spindel — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 22:21:00 GMT

Matchmaker and Mr. Fix- It
Location: Home Depot (59th & Lex) January 2009.

For those of you who have moved homes can understand how tedious and exhausting the moving process can be to, to say the least …

On my way to Home Depot (59th and Lex) for the fourth time that day- you can imagine the enthusiasm I was feeling, but that was all soon to change.

My professional matchmaking skills were going to be kicked in high gear once again.

Walking from aisle to aisle looking at the hundreds of different shades of blue paint, I suddenly lost my train of thought as I encountered a different and more enticing shade of blue.

Standing about six foot two, a dark haired gentleman peered over the paintbrushes with his crystal blue eyes. He was stunning to say the least; I just had to speak with him.

“Excuse me”, I said, “You are just so good looking, and I can’t stop staring at you.” Of course, he blushed as most men would, but continued to speak with me, (even though he wore a wedding band).

Was I disappointed? Of course, why wouldn’t I be? But that didn’t stop me. Michael was a charming thirty-year old lawyer who had much more to offer.

Being the matchmaker that I am, my relentless attitude discovered that the majority of his closest friends were single men working on Wall Street.

Bingo! This couldn’t be better. Immediately, I handed over my card, shocked him that he was picked up by a " matchmaker " and to send all those young hottie friends of his my way,then boring as it was I continued shopping.... for paint that is.

Over the years, I’ve given numerous dating tips for men and women on how to approach the opposite sex. My online dating tips have helped many discover true love.

But most importantly, I’ve learned that everybody knows someone who is single, and if you talk to everyone (single and married) wherever you go, like I do, you just never know whom you will meet --- or where you will meet them!

Whether it is in a classy upscale restaurant or a home improvement store, my dating tips focus on a keen eye and a clever approach. REMEMBER always be playful and add humor to it. TRUST me it works.

So, maybe start thinking about a little home makeover, YOU NEVER KNOW --you may just find your Mr. Fix It!

Bachelor of the Week #2

               The Deli Counter
           Location: Whole Foods, Columbus Circle- NY, NY

                              September 24, 2008

I was at Whole Foods yesterday schlepping around for groceries after my breakfast with a very handsome, upscale, single potential client, Gary* (a big shot in the sports scene). After dumping my organic raspberries into my green plastic bin, I headed to my last stop: the deli counter.

Waiting in line for my cheese and turkey, I overheard the rather tall man in front of me ordering his lunch meats.

I thought that I was specific with my order of slender low- fat white-American organic Horizon cheese, but apparently others are particular as well.

The man instructed the Mexican guy, Ernesto, behind the counter, “Make sure the turkey is sliced very thin. VERY THIN.” He enunciated the words tactfully and slowly. His fear of the little guy missing the word turkey and grabbing the Sara Lee extra juicy ham by accident was exceptionally apparent.

Finding this very funny, being the New York matchmaker that I am, I switched my bin to the other hand and peered around to look at Mr. slim turkey. Woh. Big Brown eyes under a brown curly head of hair, chiseled chin. I looked down. Nope, no ring, which means he fits the profile for my matchmaking services.

As he questioned Ernesto again, “that’s turkey, right?’" (boy am I smart) I made my entrance.

“My god, men are brutal,” I exclaimed. “Not only do you want her thin but you want your turkey thin too?!” Sounds like stories I wrote as Americas top matchmaker.

He turned around and laughed. Why? Because he knows I’m right. Men have an allergy to fat. It doesn’t matter if its turkey or a woman.

“I like my turkey a certain way, what can I say,” he bantered.

Ernesto handed him the slim white packet and he put it in his matching green bin.

As Mr. Lean walked away, he yelled over his shoulder, “Have a great day!”

“You too,” I said, watching him walk towards the front of the store. Business card, I thought to myself! Oops, too late. I hate to admit it, but even I make mistakes too.

I headed up to Ernesto to order my organic American cheese. As he handed me the Horizon package, he said, “You want anything else?”

“Yes, turkey,” I said with a smile. “Sliced very thin.”
