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.
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.
Honestly, I think this woman would be quite attractive to a successful widower, in his 60s, who values success, maturity, and intelligence in a wife. At 62, her children are probably grown and unlikely to be a problem — more likely an asset. I am older than this woman and not nearly as successful but I have been luckier than she, I met a wonderful, very successful, man who was first attracted to me, in part because of my age. He wanted someone in his own age range to spend time with, to talk to, to do things with, someone who was young when he was young, not a child of 30 which he certainly could have had if that was what he wanted. I would say to that women, hang in there dear, there is someone out there for you, if you want it, and you will meet him when you least expect it, in a way you would not expect — not all men are jerks.
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.........
