Great Expectations No Valentine's Day date found here. No scruples either. Schaumburg, Illinois

You are offered the standard 3 business days to cancel your contract (you MUST include Saturday as this center is open Saturdays) yet,I was told I was not allowed to look at the database until AFTER your video and pics are done. I was denied an appointment within the three days hearing the photog was "booked." Coincidence? Perhaps? Since then, I have found profiles on line w/o photos and w/o videos. How did they get there? Don't all members have the same rules?

I was told the large upfront fee ($1800 - $2500) was all inclusive only to learn, there is a $180 maintenance fee to the database host every 6 months, and a $200 fee to upgrade your photos to look like the quality you are shown in your sales pitch.

I was told there were 100s (hundreds) of profiles in the age range I specified to select from. After a thorough review (26 pages) I found there were 317 posted profiles (in my age range) HOWEVER, 148 of them were set to INACTIVE. This database is bloated over 50% by profile you CAN NOT select. I have checked monthly since that initial review to find little variance. Worse, I was shown 8 profiles during my sales pitch, 2 beautiful, seemningly smart, business women (to show I wasn't alone in making this BIG spending decision) and 6 attractive gentlemen. In my search I could only find 1 of the women in the database. Of the men's profiles (whom I was told quite clearly WERE available to select from) only 5 of the profiles could be found and 4 of them were INACTIVE.

2/10/2010 Unfortunately, I can not update my review with positive words. It has been more than 4 months since I joined and those men who I was told were "inactive" by electing to "freeze" their accounts are STILL inactive. I repeat: 60% of the database is on perpetual INACTIVE. There are even 2 postings (in my age group of 40-50 yr olds) who are EXPIRED.
