Our advertiser wants 7 grand to find you a date...

2000CHF to register and then 5000CHF for annual membership...

Wow, the price of love in Switzerland...

Regarding that your avatar is a monkey, 7000 CHF is not a bad price to get a date....

Just for reference purposes, but how "sick" might it be for CHF 7K? Are we beyond breakfast table spreads?

I would guess this is a matching-for-marriage service? Do they at least offer a guarantee (as in, if the relationship does not survive for more than a certain amount of time, then your entitled to getting half of your 7K back)?

PS. For the record, I am also available for dating for 7K!

I thought that, but after about 1.5 years it stopped.

The last 3 couples I've brought together didn't have to pay me a dime. I'm doing something wrong...

Money back guarantee on the fee wouldn't impress me. Now, if they guaranteed to pay the divorce costs THAT would be impressive

Re: Our advertiser wants 7 grand to find you a date...

Successmatch's website states their fees for "Premium dating" as:

Quote:
A Registration Fee............................................... .1000 CHF

This includes
• Registration in our confidential database through an online registration form
• Establishing an attractive client profile
• Review of the profile with the client for final approval

B Membership Fee............................................... .2000 CHF
valid for 12 months (166.67 CHF per month)

Selection and Coordination Fee is included in the membership fee
That adds up to CHF3000. I guess it is their personalised matchmaking service you are referring to. What exactly would you expect to pay for such a service??
