Ever changing noticeboard for comments and tips:

We asked the views of fifty attractive, intelligent women why they chose to join Attractive Partners as opposed to other professional introduction / dating agencies
On-line dating agencies didn’t work for me so I looked around for a successful professional introduction agency as I had heard that ‘proper’ introduction agencies would cater for people of my calibre'.

I joined Attractive Partners because you are a dating agency for professionals and as a Lawyer I need to meet someone professional like myself.

Your advert advert ‘Gorgeous men don’t grow on trees’ really struck a chord with me – it said everything all good-looking women think when they go out - “where do unattached desirable men hang out?”

'I am 41, tall, slim and considered to be very attractive. Meeting men on a par with me both financially and intellectually was not easy before I joined you.

I liked your honesty when you said you could not guarantee to find me the man of my dreams but I am happy to say that you have done just that. Max and I are planning to marry in June ’08 – thank you so much for introducing us – we are perfectly suited'.

'I spoke to four other dating/introduction agencies before deciding to join you. Everyone is so friendly even if I don’t meet a lover through you I feel I have had my money’s worth in meeting two super men already, one of whom has already become a very dear friend.’

’ The word ‘attractive’ almost put me off joining. I am an ex model and without being big headed I can honestly say that lots of men find me very attractive. What I seek in a man is far more important than good looks – a kind, cuddly, sexy man with a good sense of humour who loves me for more than my looks would be marvellous.’

‘ …..because my friend Anne x x x x found her huspand Peter through you.’

‘I had always imagined that dating or introduction agencies were for desperate people – you reassured me by saying that you would rather introduce me to nobody at all than send me someone for the sake of a date. I am pleased to say that the two men I have met are almost exactly perfect for me – although I am still waiting for someone who ‘lights my fire’ – maybe it will be my next introduction!’

’ Your brochure did it for me – you all seem to be honest, caring people who are genuinely interested in finding partners for your clients'.

‘I have joined two very ‘up-market and expensive introduction agencies in the past without success – your fees are so reasonable and the one man I have met so far was almost perfect’.

‘My friend Rachel met Simon through you – they are both so happy and sing your praises – I though I would see what you could do for me – I am looking forward to meeting Harry next week’.

We asked the views of fifty successful, professional men why they chose to join Attractive Partners as opposed to other professional introduction / dating agencies
Here are some of the answers we received :-

'I had tried other introduction agencies, but was looking for something more upmarket and safe, so I came to Attractive Partners.'

'I am well educated, independant and finacially sound, and was looking for a lady with similar attributes. Thank you for introducing me to Helen.'

'I was very sceptical about dating /introduction agencies, but everyone at your agency came across as very professional and discerning when I first made enquiries. You have all proved to be just that and I have met some gorgeous women. Thank you.'

'Some of my friends have joined introduction agencies in the past. It may sound shallow but I liked your name and I wanted to meet somebody attractive!'


'A friend of mine roped me into it because she is a member and said that she had met some very entertaining, well-educated, affluent and sophisticated men. It was a combination of her enthusiasm and the very helpful staff that convinced me to join. I don't think I would have done it without both of those but am now really looking forward to my first meeting with Felicity, the gorgeous, classy sounding lady who I spoke to on the telephone for the first time yesterday.'

'For me there is still a stigma attched to the idea of having to use introduction agencies. But having just been invloved in a serious accident, it was like lifes wake up call and I didn't want to leave finding a partner to chance anymore. I choose Attractive Partners because I felt that you were an up-market introduction agency and that you would be selective about the women you introduce me to.'

'I was looking for a classy, stylish, sophisticated country lady and your agency seemed to understand exactly what I was asking for. Claire is a wonderful woman - thank you so much for introducing us'

'Having tried introduction agencies in London at vast expense I wanted an agency that I felt was value for money, but at the same time dealing with high calibre people.'

'My son who runs a large accountancy practice in the city told me about you. He said that joining introduction agencies is the way many of his friends have found their partners.

'The name did it for me - I love attractive women'

Looking for an upmarket professional dating or introduction agency that will introduce you to attractive, educated and professional partners?
..............Look no further!!


Steven, a lawyer from Carlisle, wanted to join an upmarket dating agency to meet a professional and educated lady similar to himself and said that 'attractive partners offered a quality service that could provide just this.' After being a member for just 5 weeks he was introduced to Linda, a financial advisor also from Carlisle. It has now been 7 months since they were introduced and 'its going really well, neither of us imagined we would find such happiness through a dating agency, we have recommended attractive partners to our single friends!'



Adam, a lawyer from Wrexham, was fed up being alone and after a series of bad blind dates arranged by friends he decided that a new approach was needed. 'I wanted a professional agency that could offer me high quality introductions to ladies similar to myself, from a similar background, well educated and of course single!

When I received details of Elaine, I thought that on paper she seemed to be a good match for me but when we met it was better! We immediately felt comfortable with each other and hit it off within minutes. Since then things have just got better. We are spending every possible minute together.'



When Katherine decided to join an introduction / dating agency she was looking for a service suitable for a professional single lady. 'I wanted to ensure that the type of men I would be meeting would be on my wavelength and have a similar background and lifestyle to myself. Attractive partners offered me just this and joining you proved to be a very good decision.'

We introduced Katherine, from Preston, to Jeremy who lives in a village nearby and they immediately hit it off. They seemed an ideal match. They were both from very similar educational backgrounds, well travelled and interested in the arts. Soon after we sent out the introduction we heard from Katherine and Jeremy to say how well they were already getting on and they did not require any further introductions at the moment.

6 months later we received a letter from Katherine 'We have just returned from a wonderful 3 week holiday in Sri Lanka. We are getting on extremely well and have so much in common, thank you very much for introducing us.'

Have you joined dating agencies in the past with no success?
..............Don't give up! We may be able to help you even if other dating agencies haven't.

We have had many members who had been unsuccessful with other agencies who found success with us. Our clients are selective about the people they meet so we work on a quality rather than quantity basis. Some introduction agencies may give you more introductions than we will but we try to ensure that every match has the potential to be successful which is why our feedback is so good. We believe it is better to introduce you to fewer very well suited partners. Here are a few success stories.


Felicity found our approach was the one that worked! 'After being a member of numerous dating / introduction agencies, all of which sent me completely unsuitable matches, it was a breath of fresh air to receive details of a man who sounded to be just what I was looking for. Brian met all of my requirements that I discussed with your staff and we also shared many interests. When we met sparks immediately flew! We have now had 3 dates and things are going wonderfully well. I had lost faith in this approach to meeting a partner but you have restored this faith, thank you.' 5 months later Felicity and Brian, from a town near Clydebank, are still seeing each other.


Sandra told us 'when I enquired, your agency seemed to offer something which I had not experienced from other introduction agencies, a professional and upmarket service providing only high quality introductions and no false guarantees. This is exactly what I got and after just two introductions from you met Greg! What can I say, you were spot on! We could not be better suited if I had picked him out of a catalogue!' Sandra and Greg are getting married this summer!


Louise, a sales executive from Swansea joined Attractive Partners after a friend had success with us. Louise had been a member of 3 dating agencies previously and not only was she still single but had not had a single quality introduction from any of the agencies. So when a friend told her of the quality introductions she has received from our bespoke service Louise joined us and was introduced to Michael, a businessman from a village just outside Neath.

'Michael is perfect for me, you could not have introduced me to anyone who was better suited. At last an agency who can get it right! Well done!'

Kids comments on love
The following amusing observations were sent to us - we hope you enjoy reading what children think about love and romance.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM YOU WANT TO MARRY?

Alfie, age 10

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the
chips and dip coming.

Kirsty, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up whom they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

Tilly, age 10

Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.

Freddie, age 6 (very wise for his age)

No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

Oliver, age 8

You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MUM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

Molly age 8

Both don't want any more kids.

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

Sarah, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.

Timothy, age 10

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

Craig, age 9

I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

Jessica, age 7

when they're rich.

David, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.

Harley, age 8

the rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

Annie age 9 (bless)

It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

Christopher, age 8

There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?

And the #1 Favourite is........

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

Ross, age 10

Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.

So ......... do women like men with beards?
We asked all the ladies who looked at this noticeboard in June - do you like men with beards or without? what do you think of moustaches?

......... 89% of respondents prefer men to be clean shaven - so, unless you look like Tom Cruise it may be best to make friends with your razor.

So - do gentlemen prefer blondes?
We asked for feedback to the following question -Gentlemen - what is your preference. Blonde, Brunette, Red hair, or do you like all ladies whatever their hair colour?

The results showed that men seem to be attracted equally to blondes and brunettes. Red headed girls got slightly less votes - but that is probably because there are fewer of them.

How many times must we say it?
Please don't go on about past relationships. In fact, don't go on about anything!

Laura, 35 - Ipswich
We have recently heard from Laura, MD of a textile company and Paul who also runs his own successful business, that even though they live almost sixty miles apart, they are enjoying a really good relationship thanks to our introduction.

'When you first mentioned Paul, I was a little hesitant as I thought 60 miles was too far to travel but I am so glad I took your advice and agreed to meet him, he is well worth the drive! We have so much in common, he is my dream man! Thank you so much for pushing me to meet him.'

A dating agency in Oxford
Fiona was seeking an introduction agency or dating agency in Oxford and thought we wouldn't have enough members for her - because her friend Sally from a village near Manchester, had met her boyfriend through us, she decided to go ahead and was so pleased she did. Her third introduction to Peter was, in her words "spot on"!

Don't expect a
Don't give up on someone if you don't feel an immediate spark. Sometimes attraction happens later. If you like someone ask yourself "would this person make a good friend? - If I needed a partner to go to a function with, would I go with them?" If the answer is "yes" then keep in touch with them - good friends of the opposite sex are priceless.

Being patient pays off
A few people expect too much, too soon from an introduction agency. They pay a fee and imagine that the agency can find them a perfect match immediately.

Introduction agencies want to help you but sometimes it takes time. Make friends with the staff. They are there to help you and and want to find you someone............
