Matchmaking enterprises are full of weirdos and liars at all levels, it seems.

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

"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.

So, basically, an old woman wanted a rich guy who would drop everything to travel with her.

Cinderella fancies die hard.

However, men who merit marrying aren’t interested in paying for moldy bread from the leftovers bin, when they can secure quality merchandise instead.

The matchmaking agency clearly lied to her and extracted money from her under false pretenses. It was fraud and they indeed should not be allowed to keep getting away with it.

On one hand she should have known better, but I am sure the agency presented itself as a reliable agency and they basically extorted money from her under false promises.

She'd the one on the right. Nice teeth though.

Any reasonably well to do man who’s want to marry a divorced mother of four needs to see a shrink, given all the horrors such a relationship is likely to bring into his life.

My dear Miss Daggett, if they are men having to rely on an expensive ‘dating/matchmaking’ service, then they are worse off than you are................

$150k—WOW. If what she says is true, I would sue also.

Then again, I would never use a dating service in the first place.

How narrowly did this wench define her suitable suitors? “Must be rich, monogamous, devoted, willing to travel, housebroken ...” Sounds pretty picky considering what she brings to the table.

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".

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?

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.

I’d probably sue, too-talk about false advertising...

But that said, you’d think that a well off professional woman would know better than to trust a matchmaking service.

A friend and coworker of mine suggested I “take a look” at a matchmaking site-to humor him, I did-but a look was enough. The place was populated by guys looking for either a purse or a nurse, or stalkers I wasn’t about to even give my name to. I later found out my friend had gone to that site himself to find women-until his wife found out, that is...

I decided I’d stay peacefully without a man, but my Nemesis-the lover from college-still one fine macho cowboy-came around again and wouldn’t hear “no”-he sort of stalked me-called, texted me at work, left notes on the gate on his way from work, etc for weeks till I agreed to go to dinner-he’s now T5’sguy,-worked out fine, no matchmaking service-better the devil you know...
