Gay matchmaker in Zurich

Zurich is a stand out of the city but the gay men in it have a huge need for a gay matchmaker. Beyond beauty, it can be super hard to find “the one” on your own.

Who approaches a gay matchmaker in Zurich? How do they hear about and approach the service?

The gay single men in Zurich who approach gay matchmaking agency The Echelon Scene are some of the world’s most incredible single men. They tend to hear about the gay matchmaking agency through friends that have joined with the service and had success in finding their long-term gay life partner. However, sometimes they will come through the website. The gay single men who are enquiring with The Echelon Scene are looking for a long-term monogamous relationship.

The gay scene in Zurich not working for them to find love

The gay scene for men in Zurich is small, as we all know Zurich is not the gay capital of the world. Zurich being a small(er) and quieter city, makes it more difficult to find a lasting long-term gay relationship. LGBTQI lack full legal equality. Same-sex marriage, full joint adoption and IVF access remain unavailable in Switzerland as of 2020. Although certain laws have been put in place to protect against discrimination. Similarly, Zurich does have several LGBT youth groups and hosts the oldest Pride in Switzerland. In 2019 the event saw participation of about 50,000 people. Similarly, despite the ‘gay scene’ not being as vibrant in Zurich as that of a city such as London the GHI (Gay happiness index) reports that Switzerland is 70/100 and London is 63/100 (USA is 61/100). Zurich is a great place to live and work as a gay man and draws in many business types who love to make the most of the beautiful surroundings.

 The gay men who Jacqueline Burns, (the Founder of gay matchmaking agency The Echelon Scene), meets are passionate about what they do and lead busy active lives, so therefore do not want to be constantly dating men who are ultimately, not right for them. They would rather spend their valued off time with friends or family, keeping active or travelling and hand the reigns over to a professional gay dating agency. Gay matchmaker Jacqueline Burns find the key factor that is lacking for the gay singles who approach the matchmaking service is of course, love. The men want to share their lives with someone who is their equal. They are looking for a gay long-term partner who they can respect; someone who is also a go getter, who has their life in order and who also genuinely wants to meet the right person and build a life together. 

It is extremely difficult to tell who is genuinely looking for a long-term relationship when you meet someone at a bar. The gentleman may be attractive (that is the easiest thing to assess), but no matter how good a judge of character one may be, the rest is extremely ambiguous. Many men in Zurich are actually very open to finding their gay husband. As opposed to other cities where commitment can be an issue, this is not as rife an issue in Zurich. However, there are many other factors to consider such as ‘can it work long-term?’ There is a desire for commitment in Zurich, however people can easily settle.

Not on the scene

One thing gay matchmaker Jacqueline Burns has found continuously when gay matchmaking is; it is very rare for someone she works with to be ‘on the scene’ many (no matter the age), have matured and value close bonds and meaningful relationships over being seen at all the right places. Though they may still go to ski in St Moritz, or Zermatt or Milan fashion week- they aren’t defined by that and know themselves a little better now than being in all the ‘places to be’.

Hiring a gay matchmaker in Zurich? One market

Hiring a gay matchmaker in Zurich is easy, there are plenty of options. However, most of them are not offline or catered for the high-end market. The Echelon Scene focuses on one market, gay single men. So, whilst gay men must filter through to find The Echelon Scene, so too must The Echelon Scene filter through the gay single men in Zurich. Key points to consider when going about hiring a gay matchmaker are: ‘Am I dedicating enough time myself to search for my ideal gay long-term partner?’ ‘Am I coming across the right men on my own?’ ‘Am I under dating?’ ‘Am I over dating?’ ‘What are the issues I have been coming across (if any)?’ ‘Have I fine tuned my search for the ideal gay partner?’ Some of these questions might not need solid answers if hiring a gay matchmaker, as a key role of a decent matchmaker is to go over everything with you, in person. However, they are important points to consider. At The Echelon Scene, gay matchmaker Jacqueline Burns delivers the service for each of her Clients. A rare sight to see the Founder of a gay matchmaking agency working directly with the Client. This, Jacqueline finds, is key for success as her Client’s benefit from her 9 years of being a gay matchmaker. Experience is key as a gay matchmaker can listen, but gut instinct works best from experience in the industry. Jacqueline Burns began working as a gay matchmaker immediately after she finished studying Psychology as a British Psychological Society accredited Masters. Her research during this time was on gay relationship longevity, looking at the factors of what makes a gay relationship last long-term. This allowed her skill to be honed beautifully to working as a gay matchmaker. As you would expect gay matchmaking men is a different skill to matchmaking straight men and women.
