This company is a rip off. They take your money and do not feel any obligation to give you anything in return. I paid them $3500 and to my horror checked out the lawsuits and complaints online. I should have done my homework before I signed up. Don't let this happen to you. If you see their signs - SINGLE Datingin(your city).com ignore them or take them down. Their signs will read SINGLE? Datingin(Midwood).com or SINGLE? Datingin(Houston).com These websites will all point you back the local GE in your area. Do your city a public service take these signs down.

This company is filled with a bunch of used car salesman.

They operate in Fort Mill SC because South Carolina has no 'right of rescission' laws. These let you back out of a contract for a period of time - usually this is explained to you when you are signing a contract for a mortgage. GE was sued in I believe Texas and when that suit was settled GE lost because of the 'right of recission' law.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION Great Expectations requires individuals to come in for an interview and later for a personal video. I called their company because I was interested and found their staff to be cordial but they would not reveal the cost of the service over the phone. Instead they asked me first to come in for an interview. During my interview their service seemed to be decent, but when they finally revealed the costs, I was surprised. Here goes:

BASE PLANS $7000 - 15 month membership $8000 - 3 year membership $8500 - Unlimited membership until you find someone

DISCOUNTS -$2000 - If you opt out of national match making (only look at matches in your city) -$1000 - ONLY if you sign the contract on your interview date 50% off - For a 7 month trial membership only valid on that date

CHEAPEST PLANS YOU CAN GET (with discounts) $4000 - 15 month membership (only good on interview date) $2000 - 7 month membership (only good on interview date)

SUCCESS STATISTICS Furthermore, based on my questions I learned that they get 50 to 100 new members per month. Also, 2 of their members per month gets married (one man, one woman). Based on statistics that is between a 2% and 4% success rate (this site was meant for serious dating). That means at best you have a 1 in 25 chance of finding someone throughout your membership. All that for a few thousand dollars?

CONCLUSION If you are wealthy, this service may be good for you. But most people probably cannot afford it. So how do they get their membership? Through pushy and misleading tactics (they leave out information unless you ask). They put a lot of pressure on you to join. They are very good sales people. But my father taught me never to make a quick decision on a large sum of money. This saved me a few thousand dollars. When a company offers you to save you a thousand or more by joining today, it makes the decision process very difficult. Just be careful. Know what you are getting yourselves into.

I currently have a Better business bureau case pending, where "GE" has until 03/21/2008. I wanted to cancel ( and have yet to set up an inital meeting of photo shoot, video, etc ) but since they have my card on file, they are still charging my card every month and refuse to relent on this subject. So, essentially, they want me to pay $2000 over time for, admittedly, services I never plan on using. Great business skills, huh?

Oh, how I wished I had found this site before plunking down all that money. This dating service is a joke. They do not deliver the goods. I joined mostly to "socially network", but the events are so lame. No one shows up, and why should they...you can go to a bar on your own.

I'm an older woman. My counselor promised me lots of guys my age just looking for a woman like me. Yeah right! I know I can be criticized for falling for a sales pitch, but excuse me, I think peole should tell the truth. I'm telling you the truth. Stay away.

According to a recent study, more than 60 percent of Americans are considered overweight and more than 1 billion worldwide. With more than half of the American population being on the larger side of the physical spectrum, it makes me wonder: Oversized singles, plus size males and females have trouble to find a partner? They feel shy and not self esteem owning to the size?

Over the years, I've tried lots of personals sites with limited results. I always wondered if the responses to my ads were few and far between due to my size. Can people really be that picky?

At the end of Aug 2006, my friend gave me a link to go on, it was http://www.pluscupid.com . So I joined it, but not expecting anything because to me these sorts of sites are all the same...How wrong was I!!!!

After a few weeks I started chatting to Frank. He didn't live too far from me. However first impressions on him was, hmm a little bit rough around the edges, not what i would usually go for. But we kept talking and I liked him more and more. After a few more weeks we decided to meet. However it wasn't planned, and at the time he'd just finished work and I'd just got back from London, so on a whim we met at a local garage, which had a macdonalds beside it. We sat in the car park just talking- Hours flew past! Then we went our separate ways.

We kept messaging each other throughout the night and day and arranged to meet again. So we did, we went for a meal etc... We started dating!. Everything was great we went out for meals, went to the theatre, cinema etc. In late December he moved in with me, we both knew it was rushing things, but we're in love why not?.

We had Christmas together, then came new years eve and he took me to some woods that overlooked a river ( which is where his grandparents lived), and to my surprise he got down on 1 knee and proposed to me. It was Amazing.. I said yes!!!!... Later that day, to my surprise he arranged for us to go to London to see the new year in. It was wonderful, a ring on my finger, fireworks and this lovely man holding my hand.

At this moment in time we're looking to buy a house because the place we live in now is going to be far to small especially now we're expecting our first child together.

If you are a BBW, BHM or BBW admirer, PlusCupid.com just has the perfect match. I say to others just keep trying. Your match is out there.

Good luck and happy dating!
