Great Expectations Complaints & Reviews

Jack Foster - Springfield, MA September 12, 2009

I was a member of Great Expectations for several months and really didn’t see much activity in my area. Great Expectations is more expensive than most other online dating services and, for the kind of money that I was paying, I would have expected to have had more introductions. On the contrary, in the four months that I was a Great Expectations member, I only met three women whom, I would say, were really compatible with me -- age-wise and in terms of my lifestyle. Another issue had to do with the time commitment -- I hadn’t realized, when I joined, that I would have to be available at the dates and times that the company was putting on their events. Because of my work commitments, that was oftentimes impossible and I missed out on several events in my area. The events themselves were pleasant and the people, on the whole, were nice, but it wasn’t a great success for me.
