It boggles the mind that Match.com didn't think the scheme would be noticed eventually.

Ashley Madison has girls on staff just to get you to chat, but they are very obvious about it. lol
 
If it is true...

Seems Match.com is being sued for allegedly rigging things on it's dating site:

It strikes me as a bit of an elaborate way to boost business, but then I have always suspected that something is not quite right on those dating sites.

...I would not be terribly surprised....except....

If it IS true, wouldn't Match.com go all out to prevent this info from coming out? It is a very fragile business model, built entirely on hope and trust, and they have LOTS of competitors. I would think Match.com would have written a decent sized check to keep all this out of the funny papers...if it were true.

Hmmm....

Now...insofar as those chicks who couldn't get dates from Great Expectations...given the male / female ration of those services, they must of BOTH been really, really ugly cows...not ONE guy asked them out in 6 months???
 
Not unusual

This is not uncommon.. an SP told me that before she became an SP, she used to be on the roster of a local service where you pay membership to get a set number of dates -- six or seven.

The rule was no sex on the first three dates .. and if "presents" were given, the owner did not want to know anything about it.

Just curious-was this a web based enterprise or was it a more traditional dating service?

It sounds kind of like a soft entry into 'the business' if it is the later. I never knew such services were available through dating services. It is probably cheaper to go to sp's but I think a lot of guys like to keep the illusion alive that they never have to pay for sex...

It's a service that advertises in the newspapers but also has a web page. I do not want to name it since the info is second-hand even though trustworthy,

I do not think that all of the women listed there are SPs or become SPs. But clearly, the service needs some SP-like ladies to give it some life. Some are no doubt amateurs but I believe the fees are fairly hefty so SPs are a better deal IMO.
 
This sort of thing has been going on since back in the "Telepersonals" days of the 90s and yes there are some executive dating agencies who set up fake prospects on dates with subscribers.

Telepersonals-now there is a blast from the past! I remember being quite surprised to find that there were some working girls on that service. I met a young semi-pro (21 yrs) who I saw several times and of whom I have some very fond memories, off Telepersonals.

Now a days, the phone lines and internet dating services seem more like shark infested waters to me. Not worth much and can be dangero

Semi-professinoal?

To me a semi-pro is, yes, a lady that charges for her services but has not fully made the step into being a pro. It is, I realize, a fine line and one that is perhaps not recognized by all.

With this particular lady, as I remember, we did not discuss finances until after the session. But somehow it was understood. And I was happy to help her out.

I do really think that this sort of relationship has become harder & harder to find. And it is also risky and ripe for misunderstanding on both sides. I would not recommend it for married men or for those who are very secret about their hobbying.
