I was looking up dating services. I found "Denver's Only Private Date Party". You are supposed to post your profile, and "bachelorettes" respond to which one they like. If everything proceeds well, a member (who posted his profile) is aided by the company in holding a date party, in which selected females are chosen to attend. You pay for the party, if you have one.
I was interested—but since I am only looking for a "niche" crowd of females namely "cougars" (i.E. Older women seeking younger guys), I wanted to determine if this service would be worth my while. Judging from their website's photo, the service seemed oriented towards very young people of similar age.
So, I asked Teresa (one of the "hostesses") if her company's past crowd of bachlorettes included "cougars" (older women seeking younger men).instead of giving me an honest answer, Teresa continually avoided answering the question, email after email. I had to re-word or re-explain a hundred times in an attempt to clarify the question so she could understand it and answer it. No matter how I re-worded my question, and re-re-worded it, she still did not give me a straight answer.
It was then that I realized that she was being dishonest. Normal people can misunderstand a question the first couple of times, but with rewording of the question they can usually understand and answer it. Yet, after hundreds of clarifications, she never did answer it. She only made statements irrelevant to the question. Hence, it was dishonest evasion on her part. (This gave me reason to believe that she avoided answering the question because she suspected a "no" answer may dissuade me from utilizing her services—in which money would have been paid to her or her company if I had held the party offered by her company).
So I asked her if I could have her business phone number (or one number for her supervisor or co-worker) where we can talk about the matter, instead of "talking" through confusing emails. She avoided providing her business phone number and asked me for mine. She said she would call me "tonight" at 7pm. I emailed her to call me on a Friday anytime or at 7pm—since I would be unavailable on Thursday. She never got back to me. She didn't send me any email about a Friday call, nor did she say which alternative day or time she would call me. A long time went by without Teresa's calling (or emailing me) like she said she would. This is unprofessional and dishonest, as well. Honest service providers do what they say they will.
So I emailed her again about the matter telling her that her lack of response was poor customer service and I asked again for a bus ph. # of her or her co-workers. She finally emailed a very curt, rude reply indicating that "they" couldn't work with me.
So I emailed back telling her I didn't appreciate being lied to and having my time wasted. She soon sent some very sarcastic emails&rather than being professional and respectful.
In short, if you 're looking for a match-making/dating or related service, do not "sign-up" for "Denver's Only Private Date Party". They will give you dishonest service, wont follow through with what they promise, and give you rude service. A company like the Denver Private Date Party can only look as good or as bad as it's representatives and quality of customer service.
