Hey, Ladies! Having Difficulty in Dating? Try an Arranged Marriage. No, Seriously.
Arranged marriages are back in fashion? Has feminism gone full circle? What a world. As for me: NO, THANK YOU.

I don't know. It's not a bad idea, as long as the arrangement is just a suggestion that the couple might be compatible and whether or not the marriage occurs is left up to the individuals involved.
The hardest thing for me seems to be meeting women I would consider dating (though part of that is demographics because I live in a very moonbat dense area). I wouldn't mind a matchmaker who knew me well enough to suggest a potentially compatible woman.
Matchmaking as suggestion isn't a bad idea at all. Perhaps we should rename all this "arranged dating." The term "arranged MARRIAGE" seems darn off-putting.
Anyway, I'm in a moonbat-dense area myself, so I hear ya!
"Arranged dating" is a much more accurate term in my experience, and people should probably switch to using that. "Arranged marriage" does retain a negative connotation.
That's how it works in Japan, for one.
Also, I knew a Korean American guy who had an arranged marriage with a Korean woman, and it was the same. A matchmaker of some kind connected them, they went out for a year or so and agreed to marry.
One drawback to the idea happened to one of my friends whose mother was Korean and deceased father an American. She would constantly try to get my friend to date Korean girls from her church and actually began arranging a more long term situation without him knowing until he pointed out to his mother that having one Korean woman nag him was enough.
He claimed two would be unbearable and then turned white as a ghost when I reminded him that he was also going to get a mother-in-law straight from Seoul. For a few months he would slowly drive up to his house and check for any strange cars before parking in the driveway.

My Take.
