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.

One of my friends says when an old rich guy marries a sweet young thing, it is a “nurse and a purse”.

She believes that 62 is the new 22.

Straight men don’t want women who look like men.

I guess it all depends on what you're looking for and what you're bringing to the table.

Sorry to hear about your first loss but glad to hear you were able to find another lifetime companion..........We should all be that lucky.

But like you said, it all depends on what you're looking for.

I have too many bad habits to go that route................

Why do you refer to him being very successful?

Why does that matter?

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

My guess is that she wants an impressive companion who will raise her status among her friends, but who will make no demands upon her. Good luck with that.

Ladies, when your girl friends tell you they think you short hairstyle is cute, they are lying. You want an honest opinion of what guys like in the way of hairstyles on women, ask your straight male friends.

Or just leaf through a magazine which is primarily bought by men (for example Maxim, Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, etc), and see how the women's hair is. I don't recall many "pixie" haircuts among the Playboy models.

Maintaining long women's hair is work. A short-haired woman indicates to men that she's not all that interested in putting in work to make herself attractive for the man in her life.

Run like hell in the other direction.

Cougars.
I keep getting ‘ads/requests’ to set me up with a Cougar.

I have often wondered how old a woman would have to be in order to qualify as a cougar for me.

I am 77.

I have ‘figured out’ MILF(if you do NOT know, don’t ask<: <:)— that could be any age

I am too young (48.5) but from just talking to ladies some really over-value their status. I’m not “threatened” by a strong, successful woman, but I don’t want to hear about her career when I’m telling her to go put something sexy on. Probably nightly too.

"Professional" women don't want to hear that men aren't impressed with the woman's career. A waitress who is cute, is interested in having sex frequently, is enjoyable company, and is a good person, is MUCH preferable to a corporate executive who is none of the above.
