Former QVC Executive, 62, Sues Reality Show Matchmaker She paid $150,000 after She was Set [Trunc]
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | August 9, 2017 | Ashley Collman

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’m going to go out on a limb and guess this was posted on the wrong thread. Or are you suggesting the dating site might match her up with Trump or Pence?

The thread was about a woman suing matchmaking service.

You said: 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.

$150,000 would pay for a lot of male escorts. Just sayin. :-)

If I were single, I might meet her standards; however, I would not date her. It’s not even because I could date “hotter and younger”. It’s because anyone who puts “wealthy” in her list of criteria is looking for something very different from what I want. I don’t have enough in common with someone half my age to marry her, but neither do I have enough in common with someone who cares that much about the size of a man’s wallet (which is probably why young women marry 90% of the much older men they choose; why tolerate that flaw without the attractive packaging if you wouldn’t tolerate it in the younger model?).

I know somebody who used a matchmaking service.

He actually liked it, but he ended up getting married to a girl he met elsewhere, not through the service.

He said he liked it, but his attitude was, if he met some interesting people, had a nice dinner out, etc., even if it didn’t lead to more, he was happy enough with it.

Certain match sites have their advantages. One cousin met a Filipino lady via the internet about 11 years ago, she moved here, they got married and they've been happily married ever since.

Another divorced friend met a gal in the Ukraine about 15 years ago, he traveled there to meet her, then arranged for her trip to the US, married her and they've been happily married. (Personally she's not that good looking)

A teammate on my senior softball team lost his wife about 5 years ago, signed on to a Christian match website and found a lady who suffered the same loss in her life. They've been happily married for the past several years.

For the guys I mentioned above, they were just average middle class guys looking for nothing more than female companionship in their later years, not fashion models. And each of them were successful in their searches.........

The subject female in this article is obviously old and high maintenance and wouldn't give a second glance at any male in a lower financial status as hers............She's likely going to live her remaining years lonely.........

"Certain match sites have their advantages."

My late wife and I had been married for 25 years. She was Australian and I was in the Army here in Texas. I put a personal ad in the Brisbane, Australia, newspaper and we wrote back and forth for about a year and then, while I was stationed in Korea, I flew to Australia. We were married the day after we actually met. We had a very happy 25 years until she died after a long illness. I guess that was the non-digital version of a dating site.

Anyway, after a period on my own, I got online to one of the dating sites and met my current wife there. We're celebrating our 12th anniversary this year.

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

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.

I’d take poor with a nice body and strong libido if “status” means too tired for her High-T hubby. For now at least I make a nice mid-6 figure salary so I am not after her $$$. I am after other things. I think the big advantage to the lady having $$$ is travel.

Sorry Darlene, you waited too long, and your standards are way unrealistic. Wealthy bachelors in your age range are either gay, truly confirmed batchelors who know they can get all the young, beautiful women they want to, or they're married to a trophy wife 35 years younger than you.

Your sexual marketplace value has dropped so much you're trying to buy the love of a stranger. You're rich, though, so you might be able to buy a younger man's company, but that's only until you stop giving him money.

You might have better luck if you get realistic about what kind of man you can get. Maybe lower your standards. Or start a collection of cats, maybe.

Karass Negotiating Seminar is some of the best training around. Company I worked for over 25 years ago had it as our training at an annual sales meeting.

A rich guy doesn’t want a woman with a lesbian haircut. She needs to grow out her hair to at least collar length; shoulder length would be even better.

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.

I assume when a women cuts her hair short, it basically means they want to announce to the world that they are a Lesbo, or at least they want to become “hip” and say they’re “Bisexual.”

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

You can identify them because they ride unicorns.
