Twoofus formerly "Together" and formerly "The Right One" is a company with a history of high pressure sales tactics poised to take your money. I remember the first time I went to the Hackensack NJ location. I met with a lady called Suzzane Shoukeh. She started out by asking how much I made a year and all other sorts of personal information. Told me they'll be doing a background check which was okay with me since I'm clean as a whistle. Then she started hinting at the cost of the service by making statements like "It ain't cheap". I started wandering how much this thing was going to cost me. When she started at $10,000 dollars, I smiled and said no problem but that I would like to think about it. She would not let me go! All of a sudden it became clear to me that I was at a shanty market where you could haggle the price of something you wanted to purchase. Statements like how much would you pay for the right person was thrown around. She finally got the price down to about $1500 dollars.in my mind, I was like wow! This girl could have gotten me to shell out $10,000 dollars. I could afford it but without knowing what I was going to get, and without any guarantees, I could not part with that much money. I'm very certain that some guys must have plucked down that amount or even more because they play with your ego. They make you feel like the shit so when they give you the price, you don't want to act like a bitch and start backing away. I personally added another $500 dollars to the price I paid hoping to appease her and also hoping that she'd send me the right kind of people.
I will not lie though... I met some nice ladies but there was either no chemistry or I'd find out one issue or another with the ladies they sent my way. I remember questioning one of the ladies trying to see what price she paid and she would not tell me. Apparently, she got a sweet ass deal from "Joyce" (another lady in the group).
They also seem to "blacklist you" and decide all of a sudden to stop sending you matches. I've called several times to ask them what was going on and Joyce (who seems to perpetually be on the phone anytime I call) would say they've not gotten any new members. Really? So they're out of people to refer to me.
The tactic for blacklisting you is simple. If you are matched with someone and you become an item for a couple of months but it ends up not working out, you have hell to pay. They send you two more ladies whom if you call, will not return your call. From there, you will not hear anything from twoofus. If you don't call to ask them what's going on, they don't call you back.
Yes, I spent $2000 for the opportunity to go on blind dates. I laugh when I think about it. I wondered how many years of service that would have gotten me on chemistry, eharmony and I get to see pictures too. At least on these sites you have the ability to see who you're going to meet before hand. This is definitely one of my worst mistakes.
I really hope someone takes them to court and that someday they'll be forced to pay restitution for deceiving people.
All in all... If you're thinking of joining "twoofus" (two of us) or "together" or "the right one", you are better off joining one of these dating sites. You have better luck finding someone there. Their service is shitty at best!!!
