Fake reviews

by JasonWorth

One thing that really upsets me is when a company writes fake reviews...basically misleading people. It is obvious that T46 staff is hard at work writing their own reviews. So I thought I would give you some information

Here is what is available in the bay area

Table for Six - You have everything here. Went out of business a few months ago. back now. but still getting bad reviews. Cost $2000-$4000

Events and Adventures - New in bay. Same hard sales as T46. They are all over the US, but have consistent bad reviews. untested. Unknown events Cost $2000+ and $30+/mo

Urban Diversion - around 7 years, Mostly good reviews, a few bad. openly viewable events calendar online. mix of events, not a dating club though, more adventure/social. Limited in age group accepted. Cost $120 and $30/mo

Outdoor Adventure Club - around 10 years, pure adventure club. High quality professionally guided events, but high cost and few events. no community/not for dating. Not required to 'join', pay per event. Cost $20/mo and events

It's Just Lunch - Mixed reviews. Pure dating club with hard sales. not many 'events'. Cost $1200 for six months.

FACTS:

*Dating clubs are a little bit older (averaging in 40s and 50s) and more expensive, activity clubs are younger averaging in 30's or 40s and less expensive.

*ALL of these organizations have those that love them and those that had a bad experience. Read the bad reviews, be wary of the 5 star reviews.

*You can cancel and contract within 3 days in CA

*If there is a contract you should be able to cancel...Your phone service lets you cancel...with a fee of course.

*If there is no way to try it out be careful... would you buy a car without getting to drive it?

*If you don't get pricing over the phone or when you ask at the meeting... it is very expensive.

*Be careful of "sample events"... They are never accurate. Ask for the actual month's list of events! what you think they don't have it?? They do!

*The more you say "No.. too expensive".. the cheaper it can get.. up to 50% cheaper...but make sure you know what you are negotiating to get first.

• Pros: they provide a service
• Cons: many... just read reviews

AMAZING!!!!! not scam at all

by PaulRoberts

I decided a while ago to tell as many people as possible about my amazing experience I had with this company. Last summer, I accidentally came across their website. I read different reviews (bad and good) on a few reviews sites. I really wanted to see what all the happy customers were all raving about. Two weeks later I took a little stroll down the block and went into the office. Immediately, I felt at home. It wasn’t like the average office where everyone is running around, phones ringing, or papers and faxes being handed out from person to person. This place was very relaxed and chilled out. The staff there was very polite and it was quiet. Just from the office itself, I was ready to sign up on the spot. I spoke to all the right people and mad all the right arrangements before joining. I then met with Lynne. She took me into her office, sat me down, and said “Paul, what’s up”. Normally, when you meet a stranger who expects you to tell you entire life story, they usually start by saying “so tell me a little about yourself”. I got the feeling for what she said that she wasn’t a fake. That she only interested in making money. About three hours later, the interview came to an end. Lynne and I said goodbye and I went home. All though I accepted that nothing was going to happen overnight, I had a feeling it was going to happen much quicker than usual.A few days later, Lynne called my cell and told me all about the next six person date. She had already contacted five other singles and was working on setting all of us up on a dinner date. I was really impressed at how fast she worked. With no hesitation, I told her “I’m in”. The dinner was very nice. Lynne chose the perfect restaurant, a nice sit down Mexican place with a very warm feeling and a relaxing vibe. The staff was nice and the food was good. But the best part, were my table mates. We all got along very well and were all very alike. I didn’t meet any girls that were suitable for marriage, but I had an amazing time and was very excited to see what Lynne would do next.

I told Lynne about my night the next day and started working on the next date. Another week went by when I received an e-mail from her. I called her back and finalized another date. As before, the date was at very relaxing place. This time it was Chinese. The people at my table were a lot of fun and the food was good. Basically, this date was exactly like the last one except one thing. I met someone perfect. Someone so perfect that I got the chills the first time I looked at. Her name was Kelly and I knew there was something about her. I didn’t know what, but I knew there was something. The whole night, we all talked and laughed together. It was nice to be in a crowd of other singles with the same likes and dislikes. There wasn’t any tension or shyness on anyone’s part. Ok, I know this part is hard to believe but I kid you not, later on THAT SAME NIGHT Lynne called me and told me that Kelly had already called her about me. Apparently she really liked me and wants a personal date with me. I was so happy that I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs while jumping around. The second date happened about three weeks later. It took a while because my boss at work gave me a ton of work to do which took up most of my free time. The wait finally ended when we went to a really nice place. We really connected and I knew there was going to another date. There WAS another date. Actually, there were seven more till we finally agreed that we were able to continue on without Lynne. Although we still kept Lynne posted on our progress we became very serious. Eventually we got engaged. The wedding is in six weeks and the credit all goes to Lynne and the rest of the staff.

FRAUD!!!!!

by jamesbutler

Read the 'positive' ratings carefully. They all read as fake for a reason. They ARE fake: written by the company itself.

I LOVE the last one,"Ever since I joined I am much happier than before." You have GOT to be kidding me. Has any person EVER written a line like that in a real review?? I suppose "Katherine29"s teeth are whiter too. This organization is full of lying manipulative con artists.

Look at the facts: their business rating as mentioned by another reviewer. This rating is not a mistake.

Don't walk, RUN away from these people.

• Pros: maybe the owners will go to jail
• Cons: It's a fraud

I love thes guys

by Katherine29

My motto is ‘be happy’. Life is filled with good and bad which is obviously a test to see if you can remain happy. The way I see it, anyone who signs up with this company has a much better chance of being happy. Ever since I joined, I’m much happier than before.

Two years ago, I walked into their office in Sacramento and spoke with Heather who is the director there. She told everything I needed to know. All the services and prices were explained to me. After that, I sat down with one of their professional matchmakers named Suzanne. She gave me an interview for about an hour and a half. During this interview I was asked many different questions about my life and how I grew up and what kind of guys I would like to meet. She actually made me feel very comfortable. I was very impressed with them when I left.

About a week later, I got a phone call from my matchmaker. She told me about the service she had in mind for me where they sit you down at a restaurant with five other singles. She said that she put three guys on the list for this date that sounded great. Of course I told her that I was interested. The date occurred three days later. All the people at the table were great. We all had a great time and had really good flowing conversations. The actual restaurant was also great with a nice energy and a perfect environment for friendly talk between six people. After the date, we all exchanged numbers and said goodnight.

The next day, I called my matchmaker and told her everything. I told her that I had a great time and that I would like her to put me on another six person dinner night.

The next month I went on vacation with a few friends to Venice so I kind of forgot about the whole thing. When I came back, I had a few messages on my machine from Suzanne. I called her back and apologized for not telling her about my vacation. She told me all about the next event and about all the people taking part. I didn’t have a second’s thought of telling her to go ahead with the date. A week later was the date. Once again, the restaurant was impressive and the food was great. All the people I was set up with also were very warm and pleasant. I really connected with Jerry. He and I talked about a lot of things and we actually went to the same high school. He was three grades older at that time and we actually liked each other but he couldn’t date a freshman due to the average peer pressure. But now, we finally had the chance to get to know each other. We had a great time and even continued our date after the other for people went home.

For the next year we dated and had a beautiful relationship. We finally got married and now we have a baby boy name Mikey. Like I said before, I’m much happier ever since I joined with this company. Suzanne still calls me from time to time to see how things are going. In the end, I got more for my money with these guys.

Dating Made Fun & Easy

by blitzen1944

Some people don’t make full use of their options as T46 members and they don’t give it a chance to work. I think T46 is great.

If you let the T46 staff set you up on “Just for 2” dates (one-on-one boy/girl meetings), they really do work hard to find people who match your interests, age, lifestyle, etc. Speaking from personal experience, “Just for 2” really works. Mandy and Anni at T46 have spent a lot of time matching me with other compatible members and the dates have all been great. They go through hundreds of members looking for ones that best match my likes, dislikes, age, location, lifestyle, etc. They also make all the reservations for us to meet, which include a nice restaurant, the date & time, etc. I would consider myself an average looking guy and all of the girls they have set me up with have been very attractive, super friendly and a lot of fun. I’ve never been matched with anyone who was way younger or older than me and never with anyone who had absolutely nothing in common with me either.

You can’t sign up for T46 and expect to get set up with Carmen Electra or Ashton Kutcher. Life isn’t like that. If you are average looking you’ll get matched with men/women with the same or better looks. You can’t complain about that.

Yes, T46 is exclusive and membership is expensive. As a result, I’ve found the price keeps out all the riff-raff and flakes like on all of the on-line dating sites. Lots of people on the internet lie & misrepresent themselves as successful when they’re not. At T46 you get none of that and you meet quality people every time.

The bottom line is, when you break it down and consider the time & effort the T46 staff put into setting you up on quality dates and all of the different events they arrange, you’re paying about .50 cents an hour for their services. It has been totally worth it to me and I’ve had a lot of fun being a member. I’m 100% satisfied with T46.

• Pros: No More On-Line Dating Sites
• Cons: $$$$ but exclusive and worth it

Happy I'm part of it

by TinGrass

Ever since signing up the diners have been getting better and better. I recently began noticing more members at the T46 events. I am so happy I signed up with them, it really makes my social life much easier.

I read some complaints on the web and I just wonder what type of members would be unhappy with this great company. Still wondering about this one.

• Pros: Met many awsome men
• Cons: Happy no cons

A Good Place to Throw Away Your Money

by er1700

Every positive review on this site is so obviously written by an employee. A friend of mine, recently contacted Table for Six and he asked them what was up with them going out of business. The lying salescheat actually said, they never shut down and their offices were always open. It's a sack of sh!t. I was one of their many clients, who was sent an e-mail saying they temporarily were closing and during this period the phones weren't answered, and no dinners were set up. I actually wouldn't even be upset if they truely took that month to reorganize themselves and get their act together. However, no such luck. I honestly believe things are worse than ever. Luckily, after sharing my experience with my friend, he chose not to join. Hopefully, you will do the same.

• Pros: Can't think of any
• Cons: It's a Con

My Best Bet 

by Stevey

Meeting a perfect partner could never have been easier! For over a year, I had been visiting bars and pubs in a hope to get a nice partner. While I did have some short-term relationships, none of them could mature. Tired by all this experimentation, I decided to take the help of experts. This is when I came across this club. After paying a handsome fee, I registered myself and provided all the necessary information to the relationship experts. After some days, I got a call from the company for a dinner. Sure I went and believe me, this was the best decision of my life.

I was part of a group that shared similar interests and very soon felt comfortable. Between drinks and dinner, I soon clicked with this sensible-looking lady, who seemed to be pretty interested in my conversation. We decided to meet more often and within a few months we have come very close to each other. Right now, no one understands me better than she does. Incredible, isn’t it! 

This club has filled a void in my life and has been intrinsic getting all this happiness that I now experience. I am really glad I decided to go for the services provided by the company. Let me tell you, if you dream for the perfect partner you should go ahead for this club. Their prompt and efficient services are surely doing to please you and give you a positive and healthy experience.

• Pros: Opens up many opportunities
• Cons:  Pricey but evens out when you find what you are looking for

A Great Experience for Me

by FlowerFinder

With so many match-making services trying to grab your attention, it seems really difficult to figure out the best one for you. However, I am really glad that I did not make a mistake. I came to know about this club through a friend of mine. She has been dating a guy who she met at this club and things have been going really great for them! So I decided, why not try it out for myself!

Although it is true that the fee is not that low, but you see, every good thing comes for a price. So I joined this club and gave them all the relevant details. Within a short period of time, I was invited to one of the best dinners that I had experienced. Including me there were six people, three ladies and three gentlemen, who were introduced to each other by the hosts from this club. During the dinner we spoke amongst ourselves and had fun sharing stories and experiences. By the time the dinner had come to an end, I knew what I wanted. This guy and I shared really common interests and both of us seemed keen to meet each other again. 

So we met again and again and the chemistry seemed getting better each time we met. It’s been three months since I have been going around with this guy, all thanks to the club. My advice to all singles is that if you want to meet the dream partner of your life, do not hesitate about spending money. After all, it is a matter of all your life!

• Pros: Cool dinners and dating
• Cons: Not so many cons

Don'e be fooled by the fake reviews

by asl5

I am amazed that they went out of business, have an F rating with the bb bureau, loads of upset clients and an investigation by 7 on your side and they are still posting obvious fake reviews. Julie Paiva has no morals.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Spend a lot of money and get nothing in return
