I too fell for the pitch...I was matched w people that were in my area with no thought as to who they were, what they looked like and their interests. I was quite specific as to what I was looking for, and they did not deliver. I have done much better on the internet where I can see pictures of the person and can read their profile. Then if I am interested I give them my cell number and we talk to see if their is any interest there. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of joining these dating services that they think very carefully and not fall for the hard sell. I work very hard for my money and I would have done better to give it to a charity and use it as a write off on my taxes. These company's should be put out of business.
