Hi to all:
I do not work for this company, however, I have been in the dating industry for 10 years and have successfully matched many people and it has resulted in marriages that are still in tact. As a sales rep and a director I have interviewed literally thousands of people over the years and usually the ones who are complaining on sites such as these are the ones who had the most unrealistic expectations when it came to the person they thought they should have in their lives. Most people don't even know themselves at all, they just have this fantasy they have built in their minds and do not want to settle for reality.
I believe in the matchmaking process because everyone has "bad radar" to a certian degree, a broken "picker" so to speak and also can be swayed by a person's looks prior to really knowing what things they believe, what hopes for the future they have, are they active, not active, what religion they believe in, the list goes on and on. People just see someone they think is "hot" and then attempt to either adapt to that person's needs or try and change the other person to match theirs...if you sit down with a counselor and are really honest about who you are and what you want from this life and your realistic expectations in and for a mate, then a REAL matchmaker, who truly cares about the person sitting in front of them in the interview, CAN and WILL help you. Now I must admit there are people in this business just for the money...don't go to those types of people...during your interview, ascertain the facts through your intellect, not your emotions. NO ONE holds a gun to your head and MAKES you join or give up the credit card. I am one counselor who NEVER tells a person what they want to hear to get their money, only what I perceive them to be through the things they tell me and how they come across and honestly, I have actually turned people away from my memberships because they weren't "ready", or they wanted something unrealistic.
Listen Folks, there are some of us out here who are honest and who really want your romantic success. FIND one of us, because internet dating is nothing but a cyber-bar and people can lie to you and you will never know if they are a good person, or a serial killer. I have my master's degree in psychology and I use every one of my brain cells and intuition when interviewing a potential member to make sure they are a quality individual...so when you pay me, you are paying for my expertise and for me to make sure that you leave MY service with what you came for.
So take heart people, there is a way to do this successfully, just make sure you trust the right people.
