but beware of their lunch dates. If they choose for you, first date always hnnggghhh girl, then second one ok ok only, then the more dates you ask for, it gets worse and worse.

that's why better go for their internet dating - that one at least u can choose.

IC, you experienced this before?

I totally laugh at all these lame guys who would rather pay RM3.5k for a scam service to hook them up with a girl. And then hope to get laid.

Go pay escort girl la.

I have never used such dating agencies, honestly. But I really like some sugar baby websites like the one on SecretBenefits.com. They are pretty similar I guess, but you can date some girls there without anyone's help. Maybe you will find it helpful to you too, good luck with dating wink.gif

actually, i have a question.

rather paying a hefty sum to these agencies, what if the agencies were to do another approach.

like a closed door gathering for 2 hours, wont that be better and cheaper?

I joined Esync after the relationship manager (RM) called me and promised guaranteed at least 10 dates per year

In the 1st year, only 3 dates arranged, the RM went MIA throughout the year and only reappear by the end of 1st year membership...merely to get me to renew the membership..

Due to no better way to expand my network...and the sweet talk of the RM (eg. unutilized date in 1st year (7 dates) will be carry forward to 2nd year, i.e. i will get 17 dates in 2nd year), I renew the 2nd year membership with the hope of things will get better.

Sadly, it turned out that the RM again went MIA, and merely arranged 4 dates in the 2nd year...

Whenever i asks for feedback, the only feedback i get is "no feedback yet"

Their service is so disappointing to the extent like no service at all after they got your payment

gotta keep on calling and pressing them.

esync is like match.com ? I thought you choose your own dates in the internet mah.

wah probably biz must be bad,.
*
I'm not sure about match.com, as I never try it.

Yes, you can choose your own dates using web or app, but the dates they showing to you NOT all are paid members...
Whenever you choose a date that is "non-member" (the web or app did not stated this at all), they will approach him/her and get them to signup 1st..if they did not accept the offer, no date will be arranged.

So, they are merely using you to fish more new member to sign up!
Esync should show only PAID-members to PAID-members, rather wasting our effort and time to browsing and choosing dates.

I knew all about this, because few dates i choose decided not to signup the offer of esync, but they found me in fb...

Depends on your situation in life.
Issues faced by 20s + 30s:
1. Some people after growing up to a certain stage (late 20s, early 30s) their social circle is so small they barely able to meet new people.
2. Exhausted the pool of potential mates from friends and mutual friends.
3. Some are extremely introverted to a point that it's super tough to find someone in a social setting where they usually aren't present.
4. Bad luck in general as dating is a numbers game. Odds are stacked against you.
5. Most women cave into pressure and understanding their biological clock is almost up (around 30s) incentivises them to have an extra outlet for finding a potential soul mate.
6. Online dating is a very superficial world. There are more bad experiences than good ones.
7. Some really high paying job workers really don't have much time to socialize outside, they rely on these agencies to intro them potential mates to cut the time wasting of meeting people in social setting. Higher chance of a better potential partner if introduced based on what you and the potential partner is looking for matches. (Numbers game)
8. Frustrated women who met endless of needy guys, or the too nice guys until let me walk all over him and men who are never strong enough to put me in my place if I start testing him to see if he's alpha and centered. (You'll be surprise how many women cling on to their relationship with these men because of this spoiled milk thinking and then regretting later in life).
9. Frustrated men who have been brainwashed by the media into being feminine, needy, chasing women and putting them on the pedestal. (Most will learn after many rejections)

Issues faced by late 30s to 60s
1. When your partner left this world and you feel lonely, going back to the dating game at this age, especially if you're a woman is really tough as your looks is no longer there. There's a saying where men age like wine and women age like milk. (Women only have 1 SMV which is their looks)
2. Same goes with divorce families for point #1
3. Tensions in relationships after being together for many years and going separate ways. Tough getting back in the dating game and point #1 applies.
4. Usually men who are afraid of or do not want commitments
5. Very small social circle and very unlucky of finding someone who fits them.

All in all, think of it this way. If you wanna go visit Europe, do you go alone or approach a local travel agent to show you the places?
You can do both. Going to a travel agent saves time and cost money.
Going alone, is cheaper but more time consuming if not familiar.
After all, no one is forcing or putting a gun to your head to sign up. When there's a demand for this service, people will provide it with a fee.

To put into context where I am coming from:
When I was in my teens to early 20s, I didn't know I was being a feminine guy, being needy, seeking approval from women, worshiped them like a goddess and put them very high on the pedestal. I was in category #9.
Around my mid 20s, I started to learn my mistakes and have the IDGAF attitude. I approached any women whom I feel attracted to in public and was very assured of myself. I know exactly what type of lady I was looking for. Dated many women even juggling a few at once to get to know them to find out. Bad luck, most of them turn me off. (Lots of women especially here in Malaysia that I've met whom I find attractive are very superficial who care more on likes/views on their instagrams) I was in category #4
At this point, I've exhausted the pool of potential partners from my friends. I was category #2
I signed up for few dating agencies in Malaysia and paid a little over RM20k and looked at this as an investment. I was still approaching women and see this as an extra arm of finding a potential someone. With the service, I could tap on the potential of meeting women whom I would never cross path ever if I didn't go actively looking. Casting a wider net per se.
Around this point of my life, I started my own business, have passive incomes from few assets and drove for e hailing in my free time and make probably 5 times the average Malaysian makes a month. I am still registered to their services. They've introduced me to several women who were more or less of what I was looking for but chemistry and whatnot isn't there. To put it bluntly, none of the women I've met be it in public or through the dating agency will be an asset to me, based on the few dates getting to know these women, they were going to be a liability to me.

I hope you get a better picture on this and not be very critical or ignorant in your views. Won't deny that there are some who are desperate but the agencies will weed the creepy ones out so you don't have to deal with them. After all, there's no guarantee you'll find someone. If your game is bad, very likely you'll be wasting yours and the potential match's time. Best is to read up and work on yourself to improve your SMV and game before signing up so you don't waste your money. Someone can bring the food you want to your table but if you do not know how to eat it, you'll still be hungry. Or the donkey to water story but you get the picture...

Disclaimer: I do not work for any dating agency nor were they paying me to post here. This is purely my very transparent view of their services.

Hi guys,
Just want to hear from anyone who went or even better, paid for the services of dating agency like Lunch Actually.
Looking for places like this, so if you see any, heard from friends, whatever, anything at all, just post a reply.

I've been to Lunch Actually, at bangsar. 3.5k for unlimited dates in 1 year. Of course since they are the one doing the arrangement, you prob end up less date than you want to, even if you're anything goes.

Hi, DON'T TRUST, they are a fraud company, they are getting smarter to cheap people money, they created candidate meeting all your desires and then they tell you the candidate is not interested in you, actually, they employed and created a candidate to meet the number of dates you signed up, so at the end, you get nothing. As per the contract, they fulfilled your desire candidate's profile unfortunately the match is not successful as what they always said: there is no guarantee on the success of the date.
