One con the a agency established 1966 is to hire lots of pretty young money
hungry s who take your money - send out one or two contacts - who are
other staff members (but they dont tell you that) who when you call get you
into a conversation about . Then they complain about you to the agency and
you contract is revoked - no refund. They tape you selectively as proof of
your harasment of clients - the chick gets $100 each time - you paid $500 for
membership. Easy money - dating agencies should be treated like Amway and all
other pyramind schemes, quick rich investments and laywers - are criminals
until they are proved otherwise.

Last year I lost $600 to a dating agency in Melbourne.
They were big on promises, but only delivered details on TWO women, and not
the 25 contracted for.
There are better, cheaper, safer ways.

| It is important to decide first if you really need to join a dating
service. I received and read many comments from people who reported having
much better success with other methods of meeting qualified potential
mates. Many respondents mentioned personal ads in local newspapers and
magazines have been more successful. Others mentioned ideas such as
joining local singles clubs or volunteer organizations where singles
donate their time, church sponsored groups, etc. Still others suggest
asking your friends or family to introduce you to someone. Since dating
services tend to be very expensive, you may wish to try these suggestions.
If after you try, or you have already tried, these suggestions and nothing
else has worked, then maybe a dating service should be considered. You can
not be too careful in selecting and dealing with these companies. Please
read and understand this information before you start your search for a
service. |
| I am doing a similar review process with the (Aussie) websites on
aus.personals website next year, (I had strated this but had to abandon
it because of cost and time) but its all the agencies OFF the internet
that are taking people for ride for many thousands of dollars and it
makes me furious that these parasites milk people dry with all these
promises and deliver nothing. As if they (the clients) werent unhappy
enough. One man in Brisbane here after having lost over $20,000 to a
Dating Agency last year took his own life. That is criminal. I bet the
- who only copped a fine - doesnt feel any remorse. |
| The first type of service to consider is one that allows you to select
potential matches yourself. What happens here is that you go to their
office, visit their library, and browse through a book with a brief
profile and photograph of each member. If you find a member that interests
you, you then view a short video tape presentation made by that member.
Some of these services are progressing to a more modern method where you
view a profile and video from a multi-media database. Members are listed by
first name and member number only. If you find someone you want to meet,
you notify the dating service, who in turn notifies the person you
selected. The company requests the person to come to the office and view
your profile and videotape. The individual will then let the service know
if there is interest, and the service will provide a means for personal
contact. |
| What dating and romance boils down to is whether you and
the particular person you are interested in turn each other
on in some way. A dating service cant change that. That
part is up to you and the person youre interested in. |
