Beware of Dating Agencies. I thought I would give my experience of UK dating agencies, to prevent others wasting their money , especially the ladies. I have been a member of two , I will not name them but will they both operate the same.

Firstly when you enquire they are a bit vague as to the initial joining fee and costs , you are invited to a personal interview usually at a local hotel or their offices, once there you will get the hard sell, the aim is to get you to upscale to the most expensive package. Both the agencies I joined had various memberships, lets call them Bronze, Silver, Gold and Gold + Bronze is the cheapest and is just a social membership where you can attend the events , meals , balls , walks etc, you get a monthly brochure with events listed or can see the events on a website . Initial cost is about £800 and then a monthly fee of about £25 - Silver is the next one up you can requests introductions and you are given as an introduction , cost is about £1200 and then a monthly fee of about £35. You are guaranteed a certain number of intros , at least one a month , guys do better as they are in demand and may get five or six intros a month. - Gold gives you a personal PA that hand selects your introductions and there are other benefits like priority booking onto events and some coaching sessions, cost for this is about £3000 plus about £40 a month. Gold + No idea as never met anyone who had it but gives you access to the top intro's , yeah right!! All the packages give you the social /events membership and usually once you have paid the initial fee you have life membership and can stop and start usually only having to pay an admin fee and re do your monthly direct debit. The reality is that most agencies struggle to get guys to join , they are not honest with the ratio of men to women and it's likely to be a ration of 35/65 at best. Due to the lack of guys it really doesn't matter if Silver or Gold ladies will get the same chaps as introductions from the matching hat , you may even get Bronze guys who only pay social membership. Guys often pay less on joining and are offered cheaper tickets at some events to attract them. The reason for the lack of guys is twofold , firstly they see it is a failure not to be able to meet someone without an agency ( a pride/macho thing) secondly those that join soon leave when realise they cannot meet the expectations of the women even with the % stacked in their favour or there are no younger women that interest them. - Due to the members , (especially the ladies) being promised the earth and having high expectations especially if a Gold or Gold+ there is anger when they go to events and find six women to one guy , or they find themselves with totally unsuitable intros who don't meet their criteria in any shape or form, especially if they have had to travel two days by camel to meet them, yep once they run out of matches your 30mile radius goes out of the window. Another thing to bear in mind some agencies don't supply a picture of your intro, only a pen picture and others don't give you the age of the intro with the picture to avoid the intro being rejected, so having driven 40 miles it could be pot luck or pot bellied. My advice if going to join , start with social membership and don't expect to meet fit guys or stunning women , most members are average , you can meet the same at any Meet Up group or on the internet. If you are a lady and all you want is a supper club or to network with other women at the balls then it may be worth joining as a social member . If you are a guy and like to be sat on your own at the end of a ball , (whilst watching the women dancing around their handbags or chasing the one silver tongued player) or enjoy driving miles to a restaurant to listen to women moaning about the, short/old/overweight guys they have been given as intros then again a social membership maybe for you lol. Bottom line if you shell out silly money be aware that your expectations may not be met and the more you pay the more disappointed you are likely to be. Comments.
