>Does anyone know how much Great Expectations asks women to pay to join???

Yes.  When my sister visited the San Francisco office, she was quoted
$1500 for a year, or $900 for six months.  They were willing to pay
for her photographs.  They were willing to give her a day to decide.

One of her former co-workers attempted something similar, but the
only people with whom she was set up were "significantly older."

I don't remember all of the details, but I do recall they had made
some claims that seemed fishy, so when my sister thought about
joining I pointed out those questions, and notably I pointed out that
she was not even assured that she'd get a date for her investment.
By the end of the phone call, she reached the conclusion not to
join.
