PHILLY -- Aug 5 -- Premier Match, a service with offices in Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, has signed up nearly double the number of new clients this year compared with the same time period in 2008. The cost of a full-year membership at Premier Match starts at $5,500 and guarantees 10 to 12 introductions. According to Forrester Research, online dating is the 3rd largest producer of revenue among all paid-content Web sites, generating $957M in 2008, a figure the firm predicts will grow 10% by 2013. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, couples are more likely to stay together in times of need than in plenty. The number of divorces and annulments dropped by 16,000 from 2006 to 2007, a decline of 2%.

This match making service is a HUGE RIPOFF charged me $4,000 that's right 4 thousand dollars for 4 dates and offered no support services at all.
I was told by the heavyset blond that met with me to discuss the services she offered that I should quote "get ALL my outfits ready" and that she would be working WITH me to find and discuss matches. The website boasts that they provide 'dating coaching' which is the only reason I would pay such a fee but they offer nothing of the sort. I went on under 1 date a month and had no real contact with the staff after they took my 4,000 dollars. I asked several times for my feedback from the dates I went on which they also advertise and no feedback was ever supplied.
When I emailed to check if my account had been frozen while I was away I was told I must email them them next time instead of calling the office to freeze my account. If I hadn't paid so much I would not have been so dissapointed but now I'm still pay off debt for services I never received.
I have never been so unhappy with prie vs. service provided for anything.
