I think my posts are the only ones so far that do not flame Great 
Expectations. I would like to point out that they never promised that I would 
find a mate. They did not promise that I would even get a date. What they 
promised was that there were a certain number of videos and profiles of 
available women that I could review. They also promised that if I choose a 
woman they would inform her and put us in contact if we both agreed to 
meet each other.

I found that GE kept all their promises. The selection was good, the women I 
met were nice, and the service they provided was worth the money I paid for it.
