TORONTO SUN -- Mar 19 -- Traditional matchmaking is making a comeback. Gloria Macdonald, one of Toronto's top professional matchmakers, owns Perfect Partners and says when her clients arrive at her door, they've "just about tried everything" to meet someone. She points out that online dating services have had a good effect on the dating world as they've taken the stigma away from exploring a variety of methods to find someone special. Macdonald says she works personally with every client, most of whom are Toronto women 40 plus. Lisa Ronis Personal Matchmaking started in 2000. Her clients are high-end, busy, professional men and women, 30 plus, who want to be married. Perfect Partners charges $2,895 to $6,500. FULL ARTICLE @ THE TORONTO SUN Article By Valerie gibson.

Mark Brooks: The online dating industry is leaving money on the table. Singles want more service. They want dates with compatible singles.

I can tell you from personal experience that Perfect Partners is a big scam. She looks for matches for you on match.com - you don\'t need to pay $5,ooo for that! An update on pricing - packages start more at the $5k level and go up to $10k. Matches are haphazzard when and if they happen at all and client feedback isn\'t used at all to determine future matches. A monkey could do as well as Gloria does - probably better.
