Two Of Us Dating Service High Pressure Sales... Demanding Phone calls... Ripp Off - "Two Of Us" Dating service Houston Texas
I was directed to this site while evaluating different online dating services. I was asked to fill out a short form to learn more about the services. Then I was hit with 14 demanding phone calls from a "Susan Gilmore" from the office line and from her personal cell phone. This sales woman would not take "no" for an answer and demanded that I come in for an interview!
I was made to feel guilty about this and was even told that "I was wasting her time"! I went in for an interview out of guilt and shame. I was handed many forms wanting all my personal and financial information. Then I was asked to take a battery of tests...so that I would be connected with someone with similar interests. Then I had my "mental evaluation" with " Andrea Bowcock"... and was told that she had "so many men in the service that would love to meet me". Then................... the big pressure sale came! I was pressured into buying a $3000.00 package and signing a contract.
The contract was "non-refundable" and did not "allow the 72 hour-buyer's remorse clause". I left the office feeling sick....things have gotten worse. This company took 3 weeks to send me my referral. These "men" were supposed to call me...or I call them...( which happened 100%) thus far.
The 2 men that I have reached both stated bad experiences and complained that the women they were set up with matched none of their criteria. This is a scam! Please beware and don't make the same mistake. I have reported them to the BBB and suggest others do the same!

Shana,
I tell you what all you have to do I order to meet a right man, is this simply post your ads (with nice pictures of yourself, at least 2-3 of them!) on www.craigslist.org, you can also do that on www.msn.com and www.backpage.com .All these sites are free and I can assure you, that in this country, it is NOT A PROBLEM for a female to find a right male at all!!!!!
The real problem in finding a partner was ALWAYS for MEN ONLY, not for women, especially in the US, Canada, Europe and Aussie. I am from Russia, where things are just the opposite, so I know this for sure, since I struggled to find a girl for the longest and finally gave up. I now ONLY date Russian girls (and even finding them in NY is a real pain nowadays). While in Russia I have so many choices, it's simply unbelievable! (No, I don't tell them, that I live in the US, otherwise they wouldn't date me, since most of them hate the US). But here this same search is turning into a nightmare for me. I am sure other men will tell you the same. Again just post your ads on these online resources and you will not have a single problem. It simply doesn't make any sense for a woman to pay for these services in the US! Best of luck !

JUST SAY NO.
I'm really sorry this happened to you, but hear me out...
Get up, and walk the hell out. Learn to give as good as you get, and when some bint turns around and accuses you of ''wasting their time'', tell them they'd waste less time by not calling you then, wouldn't they?
You have no reason to be feeling ''guilt and shame''. None. You're dealing with predators in a shark pit who are nothing but ''romance vultures'', riding the backs of people who only want to have someone nice to be with, share time with and be special to them, all the way to the bank. Screw 'em. What's more important here, your happiness or the way a bunch of strangers who, if you turn your back on them, are never going to see you again nor care about you?
YOU are the person with the need that should be catered to. YOU are the person with that ''big payday'' that these scum are looking to take. YOU CALL THE SHOTS. Not them. Don't get yourself into a position where these ''people'' are able to play ''gotcha'' games with you. Your life, your heart, your happiness, not theirs.
The non-refundable $3000 fee? No 72hr. escape clause? Holy s**t! Not to mention, what if you find your dreamboat within, say, a week? If I had my way, there would be a ''sliding scale'' refund policy. One that returned money based on the amount of time expended in looking for the match. The earlier you're successful, the more money you're returned with a set base amount that would be ''non-refundable''... but that's just me.
But hey... on the upside, I guess it's given you something in common to discuss to break the ice with your matches, right? :D
