Former QVC Executive, 62, Sues Reality Show Matchmaker She paid $150,000 after She was Set [Trunc]

A former QVC executive filed a lawsuit on Thursday, against the matchmaking company she paid $150,000 to help her find a mate.

In the lawsuit, divorced mother-of-four Darlene Daggett said Kelleher International promised to hand pick her wealthy bachelors, with the goal of finding someone she could spend her retirement years with.

Instead, the 62-year-old former president of QVC's U.S. commerce, says she forked over six figures but ended up suffering a series of disastrous dates with men who were more than just unsuitable.

'Kelleher’s "highly screened" matches for Daggett included men who were married, mentally unstable, physically ill, pathological liars, serial Lotharios, stalkers, convicted felons, and men unwilling or unable to travel and/or the subject of professional sanctions,' Center City lawyer M. Kelly Tillery wrote in the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Philadelphia and obtained by Philly.com.

I also wondered who called those high-level “match-making” services whose adverts one sees in airline magazines

She should have taken the Karass seminar and negotiated a better price.

She sounds like one of those women who went to the top floor of the husband store in that old joke.

Seriously, though, if she can’t attract what she thinks she deserves on her own, why does she think paying six figures to a search company could do it? Why doesn’t she just bribe some gullible dude? Oh, that’s right, she deserves the very top of the line, despite being divorced with four children, 62 years old, and a bad case of executive privilege.

It works for men because women are drawn to money and power, for security. Men are drawn to physical attractiveness in a woman. We’re drawn to money and power, sure, but for ourselves, not vicariously by marrying some demanding shrew.

There’s a word for men who marry for money. John Kerry. Well, I guess that’s two words but you get the nauseating picture.

Face it. If you are a real catch, you don’t need a matchmaker.

See there? Never look for dates with a political leaning of "liberal".

What she needs is an escort. A rich man wants something younger and prettier.

She spent 150K to find an idiot richer than her, to take her on as a wife... One that is irresponsible enough to spend 150K like that?

There is probably a bell curve to these sites. Those who pay nothing are probably in a pool of people which include many who are not serious about finding anyone. Those who pay something I would presume are in a more serious group. Those who pay obscene fees like this woman are probably in the ‘hard cases’ pool.

She should go lesbo. Lesbos have lower standards.

They wouldn’t impeach Pence, but if they did succeed in getting Trump, Pence would be kept in a tight little box. He wouldn’t be allowed to do much, nothing major would pass and he would have to go along with the globalists. Might even backtrack on global warming. The establishment would have proven who’s boss.

We can’t let that happen. Trump has to face down this threat and win, and if he can, then we can truly drain the swamp and take back our country. If we can’t, there may be war.

Wealthy older women pay big money in order to avoid facing one terrible fact: any man which she would find acceptable, would have better options than marrying HER.

She wants a successful man around her age, who is well adjusted and in good physical condition. Any such man would have no problems finding a woman 10, 20, 30 years younger than her.

The ugly reality for women is that it’s a buyer’s market for men once you get into even your 50’s let alone 60’s. What she tried to buy her way into has no need of a matchmaker service. That’s the basic problem and I’m sure she thinks it’s sexist or something, not just the unfortunate circumstance she’s placed her own self into, all by herself.

A rich man can afford someone younger and prettier than old hags with entitlement complexes.

“divorced mother-of-four Darlene Daggett said Kelleher International promised to hand pick her wealthy bachelors, with the goal of finding someone she could spend her retirement years with.”

Because wealthy bachelors are just lining up for blind dates with middle aged marriage minded divorced mothers of four.

***

“the 62-year-old former president of QVC’s U.S. commerce”

She’s obviously independently wealthy herself. That’s probably a $500,000+ salary.

She’s not looking for a sugar daddy, she’s looking for a companion. The problem is that wealthy women try too hard to find a PEER instead of finding a MAN.

For $150K, she could have found a bunch of hungry college guys willing to escort her on her travels, be interesting conversationalists, and even keep her sexually satisfied.

Her male PEERS have a much broader selection than she does, and she does not come out on top among her competition. Just biological reality. If she can’t find a man in her own social strata, one has to wonder why.

My guess is that she doesn’t want sex. That may be why rich men avoid her.
