The Shadchan for Young isn't qualified for old

Many good willed, well wishing, over ego nutcases feel that they have the keys to help G-d.
So they come over to an older single[older than themselves] in public like outside Shul, and say I have a list of Shadchonim who should we call, then they make sure to embarrass you more, by going over to another one of your friends & laying out their wise cracks.
What are they missing?
1. An older single has been through so much embarrassment, intimidation & humiliation; they aren’t going to go to the shadchan, any more.
2. We all know that once you go through that humiliation, now you have to listen to the shadchan, and we know how much time & energy has gone to waste, because of that.
3. The energy, and travel time we have preserved must be used on meeting girls not Shadchonim.
4. The trick of sending us to see a girl who really has no interest in us, just feels she has to please the shadchan, at our cost and expense.
5. A shadchan who has succeeded with a thousand younger shiduchim obviously thinks it is the same deal. Let me tell you are selling inferior products [nothing meant here, but let us be honest with ourselves shelf time decreases value in perishable products] to educated selective sensitive consumers, you cannot use the same marketing skills used in selling top notch products to the young & dumb.
6. The results I am not talking to you. Why? Because you red me a shiduch.

Perhaps you can give us a rundown after a date and we can critique it.

Perhaps part of the issue is that you think that they (and maybe yourself?) are "inferior products." Yes, there's usually a reason why older singles aren't married. Maybe it just took a little extra time for them to be the kind of person who is ready to get married. Most of the men I'm being set up with are ones who were a little late getting started down a career path. There's nothing wrong with that.
