The people working at this place are big liers and scam artists, especially the Irish president Paddy. Firstly, the ones that sign you up promise you everything, i.e. lots of dates every week, dates with people that are professionals, etc.

You will notice provlems soon after signing up. Having gone through their program, one thing you will notice is how unhappy other people are who signed up with them. More than a few other people were so unhappy they asked me if there was any way to get their money back. These people complained how they were being ignored by this company, how there were long lapses between dates, etc.

My personal experience was pretty bad. When there were long lapses between dates, I spoke with the president who, in all his wisdom, offered to "put me on hold" for a few months until they found "suitable matches". When asked if they really had enough other people signed up to create proper matches, the question was side-stepped and not answered properly. On top of that, the people that I did meet included "house cleaners, unemployed women, etc." Not sure where they got the name "Executive" Search Dating.

Bottom line: save your $1600 or $1700. Don't waste it on this company. It's a big scam and the ones working at Executive Search Dating have no clue what they are doing. And they do it with rudeness too :-)

Joining internet dating services are probably better and less expensive then joining a personal matchmaking service. I joined Executive Search Dating in Vancouver British Columbia and was charged $1600.00 with a promise of receiving 15 quality matches within 12 months. They told me what a perfect match I was for their clientele etc... After signing away a contract and my money, I only got 1 match in 2 months, they kept on selling their well rehearsed speech about quality vs. quantity. Obviously their pool of people is very small because the match Executive Search Dating introduced me to was clearly not even close to my request. And to think I wasn't even that picky. I was hoping to meet single white men from 35-50yrs that were physically active and enjoyed the arts. They matched me with a man that had obvious physical problems and clearly could not do any sports. So I started talking to friends and colleagues about how I was basically ripped off by Executive Search Dating and they all suggested the same thing, cut your ties and cancel my membership with them. Go to the Better Business Bureau, Olsen On Your Side, CBC Marketplace and get my story out there and hope that whoever is considering joining Executive Search Dating to shop around first!
