Latest Lebanese TikTok Trend: Marriage Matchmaking Services

In a world where everything from dance moves to Lebanese food rankings trends on TikTok, Lebanon has taken it up a notch with its latest sensation: marriage matchmaking services. Move over, Cupid—TikTok accounts are stepping in with a more direct approach. Picture this: a scrolling feed not of dance challenges, but of eligible singles, complete with personal ads like “Male, 23, seeking brunette bride, eye color not important.”

One such page is @matchmaking15, which clearly states in the bio: “This page for marriage, not for dates.” A quick scroll through provides somewhat of a catalogue of people seeking arrangements, some just looking to meet someone nice and compatible, while others are as specific as selecting their bride’s height (160-165 cm seems to be a popular choice). With only a month of activity under its belt at the time of publishing, the account has amassed just over 1,000 followers.

The app that once brought us lip-sync battles and life hacks is now transforming into a virtual matchmaker. Forget swiping left or right—here, you just scroll and hope for the best.

With profiles that read more like classified ads, you might find yourself chuckling at the outlandishness (or lack thereof) behind these posts.

For those looking to jump on the bandwagon, message the account on WhatsApp and submit yourself for hire (or purchase?).
