I had some poor experiences with GE a few years back as well. The prices are on the high side, but the thing that makes it seem so extremely expensive is that you have to pay all the money up front. In my opinion, if you want to meet other people, GE and services like it are not the way to go. Join a health club, take classes through Leisure Learning (that's the company here in Houston that offers cooking classes, etc. that meet once or twice), and atleast here in Houston there are a boat load of "single" organizations, church groups, etc. If you're going to spend money on something, spend it on something you know you enjoy doing already. More likely than not, you'll meet someone who also enjoys the same thing. After all, unless its free, chances are that the other person also enjoys it, otherwise they wouldn't pay for it. With dating services, and especially GE, people can say and write anything they want about themselves. Its only later you find out what their true interest are. I know with GE, I belonged to them for nearly 4 years. I got 4 dates as a result. At approximately $2000 for the membership, that comes out to $500/date. Not a good investment. I've spent far less than that pursuing activities I enjoy, and have met many more women in the process.
