If you are looking for a serious, committed relationship then you need to stay as far away from Great Expectations as possible. It is a complete waste of time, and a HUGE waste of money.

I joined GE for $4,000 and during my one-year membership did not go on a single date. When I joined GE I reasoned that anyone who could afford such high membership dues must be financially stable and serious about meeting someone special. That may be true -- I wouldn't know since I never met an actual person through GE.

There is no compatability matching or introduction process. Basically, you look at a bunch of pictures and choose the picture(s) you like. Then you wait to see if any of the pictures likes your picture. That's it. You could be picking out Ted Bundy for all you know. And once you've looked at the membership pictures, you're done. You have to wait for someone new to join so you can look at their picture.

GE was one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. And it makes me even more angry to hear that other people were able to talk them down to $700-$800 instead of the thousands of dollars most members pay.

Just pass right by Great Expectations and take a trip to Europe instead.
