I paid $800.00 to Tampa Bay Matchmakers for a six month contract.  I told Nancy Wall, the owner, about the type of woman I was looking to be introduced.  I stated that since I was 41 years old at the time I would date women up to age fifty.  I also made it clear that I would not want to be introduced to any woman who was overweight.

 

In my six month contract Nancy made only one introduction for me to a woman who was fifty three years old.  This introduction was made towards the end of my contract.

 

When the contract was up Nancy Wall did offer to make another introduction to me.  This woman was seriously overweight.  The date lasted all of ten minutes.

 

I told Nancy that I was completely discusted with her services.  Nancy did have a solution for me.  She wanted me to rejoin as a client since she assured me that she had some really great ladies for me to meet.

 

I filed a small claims lawsuit against Tampa Bay Matchmakers, and the company settled in mediation on terms that were very favorable to me.

 

I really question a matchmaker who can only make two introductions in a six month time period to women who are competely not what I am looking for.  I think that Nancy does not have the ability to listen, and found her lack of concern about my disatisfaction with her business to be arrogant.  If she felt so confident about her lousy introductions holding up in court, I do not think that she would have settled so favorably to me in mediation.

 

My advise is to avoid Tampa Bay Matchmakers based on the obvious fact that Nancy has a pathetic data base, and really seems to be unprofessional.

 

I think it is absurd that Nancy was only able to make two introductions in an eight month time period for me to two women who were completely what I did not want.

Rebuttal to compliant about Tampa Bay Matchmakers

AUTHOR: Jerry - (USA)

POSTED: Wednesday, February 23, 2011

I was extremely disappointed to read such a negative comment about Nancy and Tampa Bay Matchmakers, as my experience with her and her organization has been an extremely positive one!

I wonder if the above complainant had unreasaonble expectations as to what to expect from a professional matchmaker.  And I have to question the credibility of one who files a lawsuit, settles the case in mediation under terms he felt were so favorable to him, and then STILL feels the need of badmouthing the individual or business in question.

Nancy has a real passion for what she does, and genuinely cares about her clients! And she has her PhD, so she's extremely smart, but not in an intimidating way.

Nancy initially spent a couple hours with me asking me a lot of questions to really get to know all about me and what I was looking for in a potential relationship. She encouraged me to be as specific as I wanted about what I want and what I don't want, whether the preferences were regarding personality, profession, education, religion, child status, physical appearance, etc.

I understood that the more specific I was, the fewer potential matches I would have. There's no point in wasting anyone's time in being introduced to someone who wants children, for example, if the other doesn't want children.

She initially set me up with about 7 potential matches in short order, the first few of which were to get a better feel for whether she was meeting my criteria. After each meeting, there is a discussion about what I liked or didn't like about the match and whether or not I would want to see her again...and she does the same with the other party. And then, if you're willing to hear it, Nancy will share the impression that was made and the comments from the other person. This is quite useful information as one doesn't always realize the impression or "message" one is projecting.

Since Nancy is also a life coach, she can then use those skills to work on things that might be holding one back in finding THE ONE! After the inital few introductions, she was able to fine-tune future matches.

Yes, there were fewer matches, but that was because she was respecting my preferences, and all of the women I have been introduced to meet most, if not all, of my preferred criteria. In fact, there were two women with whom I would very much have liked to pursue a relationship (so Nancy was doing a good job in meeting my preferences), but unfortunately, I did not meet their criteria, which is certainly their privilege. That's not Nancy's fault, and I am still a satified client of hers.

By the way, I've been looking on the internet dating sites for a while with mixed successes. What I found interesting was that only one of the women I met through Nancy had profiles posted on any of the dating sites on the internet. Some didn't trust internet dating, and others were of a high calibre or public profile that they didn't want an internet profile out there in cyberspace. So Nancy was introducing me to quality women whom I would not have otherwise found on the internet.

So, I strongly disagree with the complaint of the person who started this discussion. I don't know whether he had unrealistic expectations of what to expect from a matchmaker, whether he was overly picky, a jerk, or merely had a difference of opinion with Nancy. Those are his own issues. I can only say that my experience with Nancy and Tampa Bay Matchmakers has been a VERY positive one, and I can highly endorse and recommend her services.

Feel free to write me at (((Redacted))) if you would like to ask more questions.

All the best,

Jerry
