- Tired of Tinder? Throwing everything you catch on PlentyOfFish right back into the dating pool? Is Hinge making you feel unhinged? Okay, we’ll stop. You probably get where we’re going by now-this is a story about finding love the old-fashioned way. Meet Willie Daly. He is a professional matchmaker in County Clare, Ireland. He’s been making matches for over 50 years, following in the steps of his father and his grandfather. When it comes to finding love, timing is everything, according to this expert. And a little drinking at the local pub can’t hurt.

So basically his matchmaking technique:
"Hold hands, and drink until you look attractive to each other"
Brilliant
Despite the staaggering popularity of Matchmaking apps. None of them gets the beauty and warmth of a traditional matchmaking.
Totally agreed

Ireland only had a population of 85 until Willie came along, thanks Willie, I'm alive because of you or at the very least because of another Willie
The reason why I'm alive is because of my dad's Willie.
everyone is alive because of a willie ;p
This is a high-quality comment.
*Quality humour* 👌
I love how it says Hobbies: Sex Fishing Golf and Riding (Horse) at 1:36 The Irish are straight forward I guess
yeah .. lol the "(horse)" part really cute.. as if we know anything else that can be riding of XD
@@nhanat riding in Ireland is slang for sex, the clarification was needed haha
I noticed that too! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 That shows how un-educated some people are in this country
not really something that makes people stupid trust me a lot of other things do, I only know this because my grandmother is from Ireland and horseback rider. honestly unless you're discussing horseback riding which not a lot of people do....
Does he work outside of Ireland? Asking for a friend.
Amanda McLellan 😂
What's your friend's name? How old is she? Where is she from? 😂
Amanda McLellan , Hahahahaha
Same
TheBandit 32 You don’t know her, she goes to another school.
Imagine all the creepy and fetishy stuff he must hear all the time. I couldn't keep it up myself
Liam-Ethan Wallis honestly...same
Hes a old man who lives in rural ireland no one is going "ah howeya Willie I'm looking for a girl into clamps and cutting. Update me when you have a match." It would be normal stuff
"Just got a call, she wants someone with sonic feet"
I doubt you could get creepier than that first request...ewwwwww
People who want creepy and fetishy stuff go on the internet, it is when they are done with casual kinky sex and want to have a lasting relation they go to this dude.
'open-minded' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that code for 'pls just send someone'
😂😂😂 *LOL*
My standards:
- Have a beating heart 💓
- That's it.
If it is I'd be the most open minded person filling that form
"I started out picky but wasted alot of years on that so now I'm bordering on desperation and I'll take all the luck a 160 year old book and a man almost as old have to offer."
We must protect this man from conor mcgregor
Is there something I don't know about this?
Cæke McGregor punched an old man at a bar recently because he didn’t want to try his whiskey.
Yes! I still haven’t found my Irishman yet
potatomato :p , Hahahaha,good one.
potatomato :p hahaha
I guess I'm moving to Ireland then.
He's not a miracle worker pal
cob1 mob2 that was cold dude
Don’t. It’s not worth it.
Don't listen to these old geezers in this thread, you will find someone!
Sorry but marriage isn't worth it people should stop romanticizing it. I'm divorced btw
I guess I need to touch that book
Pau grane gonzalez I need to eat that book
I shath talk to thee thy internet in such lustfully romantic manner
I did touch the book and it opened a new chapter in my life.
3:10 YAY I'm glad that she's going to keep the tradition going for future generations!😊💝💞
Is no one gonna talk about that amazing voice 3:28
That could’ve been an hour long doco and i wouldve loved every minute
So many of the great big stories are not given enough time!
There was a 5 second ad for Great Big Story before the Great Big Story video...
SAME
I'm gonna book a plane rn.
How about just a flight, big spender?
@@watchdealer11 😂😂😂😂
@Watcher505 This guy is trying to get a dance over RUclips comments 😅
Meet me at the River Shannon for a dance
@@watchdealer11 and if it goes well he has a hell of lovestory to tell to his children!
Maybe this guy can help me
Likewise
@Watcher505 hahaha well said
@Watcher505
Bingo...!! 👏
Stay away from burgers
@@banditcountry3232
Hamburg/er? 🍔
That's it! Now I know ... To find a husband - Go to Ireland, meet this man, touch his book, hold hands with a stranger and have a drink = get married. 😍 😂. So much better than internet dating! 😄
ireland is a beautifull country with beautifull people with it's history nature etc but, this man gave me another reason to love it.i hope someday i'll gonna travel there.
That putting your hand on the book is really great, because when you're told something will happen, your brain will believe it will happen...
1:36: Hobbies: Sex, Fishing, Golf, Riding (Horse). *Okay*
Ferg0 Riding has another meaning in Ireland 😉
Age group: 50-60
Well, aren't you full of energy
Honesty is important in any relationship ;)
Personal preference for partner is something “ASAIN”
Irish rural places, Europe's rural places look so beautiful and quiet that it makes me wonder why on earth would anyone wanna leave them in the first place!
Usually no work plus very limited social circles. It gets a bit tedious when your family isn't talking to the one on the other side of the village due to an argument that your respective grandparents had over a pasture half a century ago.
Famine, and religious persecution.
The Catholic church
@@finnmccarthy9768 Bullshit.Another one who gets his education from Hollywood.
Irish matchmaking: get'em boozy & handsy
First the Blarney Stone, now this Book; those Irish never ceases to surprise me. But if it works... LET ME TOUCH IT!!!
Such a sweet man, such a sweet story
So maybe my soulmate could be in Ireland and only Willie knows him lol
We need this in America instead of Tinder/bumble/etc.
One of my favorite RUclips channels making a video in my country! Been waiting for this one for a while :)
Thank you Great Big Stories. There is nothing but depressing stuff on the media. Really happy you guys make these vids!
I’ve driven through this town haha. What a legend.
We all need MORE stories like that and thank you for sharing.
Bless your heart, Willie. You're able to connect hearts because your heart is as big and as green as the fields of County Clare. What you do and who you are makes me so proud to be Irish. :)
This is a lovely story, Thank You. Ireland is o fine❤️☮️🇨🇦
You used the Canadian flag
@@johnbrowne9644 maybe because that's where the person is from 😒
Bless this man and every little bit of good he does for so many out there. May he live on forever in the hearts of those he brought together. ^=^
Oh my god this is so Irish. Reminds me to all the Irish Songs I used to listen to. When he started playing wild rover I was so surprised. I’m like 5th generation Irish but it’s still very alive
Must protec old man!!!
When i read the title, I actually thought he made matches, like the type for lighting fires. And brought couples together as a side hussle.
Well you're almost right. Some of the relationships have been very firey
Everything was going good until the narrator tried to pronounce the daughter's name
Why are Irish people so nice!
Proud to say I met willie in 2013. Me and my cousin spend 4 days solid on the beer in lisdonvarna.. best place on earth by far.
At 2:31 does it say many nice Donkeys? 😂
Donkeys need love too
We have tonnes of nice donkeys here in ireland, some of them even sing to you, search for harriet the donkey..
By jasus lads we are 2 for 2 now,Keep the train a rolling with the Irish videos!
😎🇮🇪💚
Hurlin an riding, think that's our lot now, not much else we can do
@@raybyrne4806 well they can go to the north but the storys wont be so light hearted
I got an add for “Great Big Story” before watching this Great Big Story video... hmmm
This is the noblest job to want other people to be happy. I"m a romantic .
Lol his joke at the end made me laugh so loud
This story is wholesome
I NEED to meet this man 😭
3:04 :
Welp I guess my Discord relationship is over
Aw shit mine too....
Discord relationship? Is that a real thing
Was is it?!
@@nilen surprisingly, there are a LOT of online relationships on discord
Mine led to marriage 🤷♂️
I thought this video is about handmade matches (like you know, the one you light up)
ByeBitch 《 Yo, I’m ready to watch anything Great Big Story posts
The festival also includes a matching making event for LGBT people as well
Lord, I need to touch that book with both hands ✋📖✋
Who else got a Great Big Story ad right at the start?
Nobody's Everything you to???
Me too... at the start and at the end of the video
Lol i did
Awesome story
His accent is absolutely darling.
Aw bless his heart ❤️
I am from Ireland and I will be happily using this service hopefully it will be better than tinder
I got a great big story ad on a great big story video
That’s so beautiful to see
The magic book should go on a world tour so more people can touch it and be touched by its magic!
Other than the video, some of the shots were amazing and beautiful.
I read Matchmaker as Watchmaker and was super confused for the first thirty seconds 🙈
In this era of digital communication we need matchmakers more than ever, meeting new friends is rare as it is!
That's basically every relative after 25 in India 😂😂😂😂😂
At least he's a good match maker, the south Asian match makers I am stuck with are making a mess!
Passport DIY 😂
He’s a pretty decent singer too! Love Irish folk.
When I first saw the title I accidentally read it without the word "connections"... Nice
Guess I'm heading to Ireland
I'll meet you there. How do we contact each other?
Why is it so pretty there? Damn.
I can safely say to you that ireland is a very miserable country so if ypu are going there because it looks sunny, then i am warning you...
Great story and great tradition. Keep it as long as we can!
Literally got a Great Big Story ad before the video
Simply lovely
🎶 matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch 🎶
Grace D I want him to find me a horse not a human
Thanks for keeping Ireland heterogeneous
Willie: 50 years of experience and a festival
Asian parents/family: Hold my Rice
Grindr and Tinder do the magic for me thesedays !
Love this Big Story.
Good for him!
Is it just me but as an actual Irish man, I don't like the way American's say 'Ireland'
No its not just you its the way they say Airland
@Cole-Con O Orland
yes just you
@Cole-Con O lmao that's exactly how I say it. I'm sorry Irish people.
I say eyer-land. Also sorry lol
Getting a great big story ad while watching great big story.
*Seems Legit...*
Wow this is amazing
I got an ad for great big story
On a video of great big story
That's great big story for me
Thanks this is the perfect plot twist for the story I'm writing atm
I think what we're all left wondering after that is... Just how many nice donkeys does he have at his house and how nice are they?! 02:30
Willie and his daughter should transcribe the contents of that book before the paper disintegrates. Those old records are such a treasure.
Match made perfect ✨💫
Finally some one from county Clare tank god
Hello big like 82 thanks for this good video top quality see you later nice to meet you
This clearly makes him happy💜
i want to touch that book..
He, he can represent us
@Great Big Story,
Could you please make the subtitles optional? I like to use your videos for some listening practice for my students. If there are subtitles, it becomes too easy for them to understand. Please consider making them optional. Thanks.
Yep, RUclips has the option to provide CC separately
I seriously need his help!
Hey anna
But can he get me a rich farmer from Kerry with good road frontage? Asking for me mam on behalf of myself
Too bad americans will never understand the beauty and utility of road frontage and a male connoiseur of chicken fillet rolls
Being in love in 6 months would be great, but I don't wanna be married unless it lasts the rest of my life.
This man is a legend, can we clone him and have one in each country please!
As an Irish person I’m like , why are there subtitles?
"Many nice donkeys" 🤣 Who noticed ?
Ireland, the land of love and rain
I NEED TO TOUCH THAT BOOK
I got an add for the company I’m watching 👍
I got an ad for the great big story before watching this video
I need to go to this guy.
