A Manhattan judge is siding with two women who didn't get dates.
The judge says the Internet dating service Great Expectations has to refund all their fees after dashing their expectations.
One woman was refunded the $1,000 she paid for a six-month membership. The other gets the nearly $3,800 she paid for a 54-month deal.
The judge said, "There was a massive overcharge by the dating service."
Great Expectations had claimed its operation was set up in a way so that the state's Dating Services Law did not apply to it. It plans to appeal the ruling.

Ever smell Perry Ellis 360?
It makes me want to do a 360 and go the other way.
(That goes for you Jontue wearers as well. One spray, about every 5 years should be enough)

I actually know a guy who has nose hair so long, he could comb it. AND he's married. Ew! I'm surprised his wife doesn't "gently encourage" him to take a trimmer to that stuff!

Women Get Thousands After They Don't Get Dates The headline is misleading... the article says that they're only getting a refund, not getting any damages, et. al. The better story would be on why these people paid so much for a dating service in the first place, not on the fact that they got a refund because it didn't work.

I have considered slipping him a micky and taking my nose hair trimmer to him.
You'd think she'd fix it - but they have been married a LONG time and she may have given up trying to change him -- even in little ways that would make him more socially acceptable.

Nose hair is just nasty. I couldn't look at my husband and not say something! I mean, you want your husband to at least look decent in public, not disgusting! Wow.
