I contacted this company in december 2005. The assessment of my personality and my requierements took several hours just to feel their paper work. Then, the choice, to get one or two men to meet, or more, or provide educated support with the analysis of your date and help. I choose the serious package with the ongoing support. And to have the chance to come back if an attempt to have new relationship didn't work over trial period.

The first, they didn't move my "file" to the department during two months. I called and asked couple times, what is going...

In a month, they set the date. On my request of picture, the description of person I didn't get anything. They took a picture of me while filled their papers, so I expected to get 'his" picture and more than he is italian and have a bisiness.

When we met, he was short and smaller than me. The conversation was rotating around the LifeMates, how they offering him invalids and he already complained about it. And one more, he was afraid of women, he was telling that women are following him and he feel uncomfortable to their attention.

The company informed me at the time of assestment, they will set the trial date, to figure out some character sides to find the match better. So i was waiting for the responce and the next time. It never happen.
Over some time I called myself and ask what is going. The answer was, we are looking. And the next time, and the next.

Then I asked if there is a problem, may I know the responce from the date, or what is going on. The suggestion was, I need to look at my requierements, that might help.

I was on the phone with their ongoing team person, looking over my profile. Yes, I want european, educated, healthy and active individual. I don't want asian or other type of colors. I know, it will not work for the relation. If they have the support team, I asked them, let them look and decide if I have any difficulies to have a relationship and let them contact me and work with me. No responce after.

The next time I called and whent through my profile with them.
I would say, I'm not going for drinkers or overweight people.
We didn't change a thing in my request.
Then the year passed. I found the great person myself. Through the Perfect Match website. We are happy and working on our differences, willing to do many steps for each other and working on our personalities. We are happy that met each other and that we are on the same step of personal development.
The LifeMates did nothing for this happen. No support, no offers, no choises, no suggestions to which direction to work on yourself.
Money they charge is a complete rip-off. their advertisement and articles about themself is comlete fraud. I would suggest to write the disclosing article and made a tv program to show the real face of the dating company.

dear 'natasha'. patience

AUTHOR: Ddannyd - (Canada)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 30, 2009

I'm really sorry you had a bad experience natasha'. I read your review and it sounds to like you have a pretty good argument. However, I am part of their 90% success rate based on the happiness I found through them. I went through two years with no luck after joining. It was very frustrating but I had faith and decided to wait it out. It finally paid off when I met my wife.

So I kind of know where you're coming from, but I think you need to be a little more patient without hassling them all the time. All the information you'll need on each date before and after will be given to you. I know from experience that they contact you when they need to. It takes time sometimes but they always come through in the end.

Anyway natasha', good luck and just relax.

I only have good to say

AUTHOR: Jacob77 - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, June 14, 2009

I find it really hard to believe the story above. Every time I speak to someone about this company I only hear good. I am not the most social person at all. Because of that, I never really thought I would be able to find a suitable person for marriage. I was not getting any younger and realized I have to start trying soon. After hearing about this company from a friend, I checked it out and really wasn't happy with the price. I signed up anyway and took the risk. Since then, I have met really amazing girls and have had really great experiences. My social capabilities strengthened and I now know how to open up much better. On a scale from one to ten I would give them a nine only because of the high price. Everything else however is pretty impressive.

Etnrecourt Steaks

AUTHOR: Mrs. Cursen - (Canada)

POSTED: Thursday, May 14, 2009

I was set up last may on the service and went through my interviews and screenings. by June I was set up with my first date. It didn't go so well, and I canceled the date. Within two weeks I was set up again with another date and this one lasted about two and a half months. Also this one didn't work out. I was a little heartbroken because it was him that canceled the date and not me and I was a little attached to him. I was contacted by the matchmaker again for a third date, and this time I rejected the date saying I was a little sad over the date. I told him to give me a couple weeks to gather myself and to check back in. The matchmakers name was Dan, and within two weeks Dan called me back and said that I really should try this match and get over my break up. I agreed and Dan set me up with Albe. Albe picked me up at my house and we went to a park. At the park he pulled out an Icechest and we grilled Entrecourt Steaks. I will never forget this date, first because we are engaged, and second because I couldn't pronounce the word Entrecourt. The date was fantastic and Albe and I have been together ever since. This valentines day he proposed and I agreed. We will be married in July.

I am sorry to hear that you had such negative results on the service. My girlfriend June also has signed up with them and has had a couple dates, nothing serious or long term, maybe a 1 1/2 month fling for a while. She is upset that the dates haven't worked out but she has told me several times that she has been impressed with how quickly she gets set up on another date.

I have been impressed with the service. My matchmaker Dan was very caring and when I told him I was upset, he was very considerate. When he found Albe he pushed me to get over it and to his credit, it worked!

This service has been great and I don't understand how it could have not worked for you or anyone else. Both June and I are very content.


Sincerely,
Soon to be Mrs. Albe Cursen

Truth About This Company

AUTHOR: Ben - (Canada)

POSTED: Sunday, May 03, 2009

I have been a member for over two years. I have had many great dating experiences through them. They have set me up with many dates that I could not have possibly met under any other circumstances. Although I have not yet found a women that I would seriously consider for marriage, I am completely satisfied with the service and the results that I have first hand witnessed.

It really bothers me to read these nasty reviews about the company on your site. It seems that now with the Internet up and running and sites like yours up, any person who had a minor issue with a company can post whatever they wish, publicly degrading a company that has successfully helped thousands of people.

I would therefore like to express the following points that I personally know about this company from my 2 years of membership with them.

1 - Their high prices are very justifiable. They are not a random free for all dating web site, they are a high quality service that employs many professionals. At each branch they have a number of quality matchmakers that work tremedously hard towards the successful dating of their members. It costs money to run such a quality operation, this is obviously passed on into the membership fee.

2 - There are many happy members. I know this first hand since I have dated them and had conversations with them. They are a real company with many success stories. Unfortuanatly you will not see that on the internet searches. This is because this is expected from the company, therefore no one is going to go around posting their great experiences. On the other end, you have the occasional disgruntled customer that due to the large membership fee he paid, freaks out when he does not receive the results he expected and goes around the Internet posting negative reviews.

3 - Dating takes time and you have to be realistic. Many people have very strong egotistical images of themselves painted in their minds. They come to the matchmakers and demand profiles to meet their egotistical self image. Unfortunately for them other people view them slightly different them the way they view themselves many people on their wish list might not even be interested in looking at their face let alone dating them. Dating also takes time people are very different from each other and sometimes you have to go through many matches before you find what you are really searching for.
