Tampa Singles will say and do anything to make themselves sound legit. Their like used car salesmen. OF course, they had me pay "upfront" and wouldn't accept any other type of payment. I thought that practice was strange because, they didn't even give me services yet. I literally came in for the first time, and sat down with a representative.
She had me in the chair for 4 hours...I kid you not. She kept talking about how great their services were and was confidant that she would find me a man of quality. After some time, I was looking at my watch. She had me sit there...listening to her for hours! And she had the gall to point out that I was looking at my watch ..as if I was the one being rude !
Also, she kept saying that I would be popular with the men because I was "asian". I asked her "how many men do you have...in comparison to your female clients?" She asked "What do you mean?" And then she quickly DISMISSED my question. That right there...should of been a RED FLAG. After all that, she told me to pay her "upfront"...$2000.
I agreed to join "despite my reservations and first impressions" and payed $2000. I gave the company a dream list of the qualities I want in my man and it was listed under my Tampa Singles Profile. However, they did NOT give me what I wanted. They were not men of quality.
One guy was "separated" for 10 yrs...and NEVER got a divorce. Another guy had an ex...who was a stripper. And they were not even in a relationship. I think he got her pregnant by "accident". One guy hated being a lawyer and couldn't stop talking about it. Another guy kept talking about his ex and still lived at their house. One guy showed up but then he quickly left without an explanation. Another guy admitted he liked playing games with women to turn them off. And those are just some examples.
And here's another kicker. I don't like SHORT men. And they kept setting me up with short men. Even after I was sending them a bunch of emails...complaining that I DID NOT like short men. And they IGNORED my emails and kept trying to match me with short men. They kept telling me to "give it a shot"...and made me go out with them. They made me feel that I did not have an option to decline the matchups. I am 5'6 1/2. Why set me up with someone who is 5'7 or 5'8..5'9 ???? I wear 3 inch heels !!
Towards the end, they finally told me that I had the "right" to decline my unwanted dates...until they find me more suitable ones. How convenient for them to tell me that..when I was almost done with their services!!!!!!! But why should it even get to that point? If you keep setting me up with men I don't want to be with. Then obviously, you have limited male clients. This is something that they WON'T admit but should. That is why this is a total rip off. They don't give you what you want in a mate. And I paid $2000.
I honestly don't care about getting my $2k back at this point. I'm just glad I'm done with them. And this should be a cautionary tale to anyone that wants to be their client. This is a total rip off and you are better off joining singles groups or even going on Mxxxx .com. (((REDACTED))) Tampa Singles is NOT WORTH IT.
Also, one thing about the setup of YOUR Tampa Singles Profile. There is no record of all the emails that you sent to them. After you send them an email, it dissappears. Ironically, the only emails you'll see on your account ...is there "so called responses" to your complaints. How convenient...that you don't have a record of all the emails you sent them. No backlog...nothing.
One more thing. They'll admit that different people will read your emails and different people will try to match you up. They don't tell you that in the beginning...and that's how it works. No wonder it seemed so impersonal. You don't have a matchmaker that even knows you. I assumed the lady I met with and sat down with...was my matchmaker. Apparently, that was just for show !!!!
