The Founding of Selective Search: A Revolution in Luxury Dating

We believe in the magic of a perfectly matched partnership. Our origin story is a testament to this belief, born out of a desire to transform the landscape of luxury dating and professional matchmaking

The Genesis of a Visionary Idea 

In the fast-paced world of high-profile professionals, time is often the scarcest commodity. Amidst their demanding schedules, finding a compatible partner can seem like an insurmountable challenge. Barbie Adler, thriving in her executive search career, observed this common struggle among her successful peers. Recognizing an opportunity to merge her passion for relationships with her expertise in executive search, Adler founded Selective Search in 2000. Her mission was clear: to revolutionize how busy, successful individuals find meaningful, lasting love. 

From Concept to Reality 

Barbie Adler had no expectations that her innovative approach would rapidly elevate Selective Search to the premier luxury matchmaking firm it is today. She developed a unique methodology, combining traditional matchmaking with the rigorous standards of executive search. By using over 225 key personal, professional, and social indicators, Adler crafted a system that goes beyond superficial profiles to uncover true compatibility. 

The Human Touch in a Digital Age 

In an era dominated by technology and impersonal algorithms, Adler understood that no mathematical formula or AI could replace the emotional intelligence and human intuition required in matters of the heart. Our services remain entirely offline, ensuring a bespoke, confidential experience tailored to each client’s unique needs. Our seasoned executive matchmakers, boasting over 150 years of collective experience, leverage their expertise to reveal profound insights and achieve unparalleled outcomes. 

A Legacy of Excellence 

For over two decades, Barbie Adler and Selective Search have set the standard in the matchmaking industry. Our approach is individually tailored and completely confidential, offering a first-class experience for entrepreneurs, successful professionals, and distinguished individuals. We pride ourselves on employing technology judiciously, enhancing our matchmakers' human touch rather than relying on impersonal online dating dynamics.
