Hey...

First of all, thanks for the compliment in your PM to me.

Second of all...  I don't think you need a "high end" matchmaking service other than what you probably know about.

Do you have a profile on elenasmodels.com yet?  If so I can help you fine tune it - my profile got tons of action and I found my Elena in about a week or so of being on that site.  Maybe you just need a little guidance with what you already know.  I'd be happy to help - no "High End" charges to you.  ;)

PM me or post here and get input from people.  I'm sure we can give important pointers to help you.

Another possibility is hooking up with Jack for his fall tour.  Turboguy recommended this in another thread and it sounds like he was happy with Jack's services.
Back to having fun in life!

I got the impression that Riv was looking at a business opportunity after reading Tiger Paws recent posts.

I remember seeing something awhile back about some agency that charged $50,000 and guaranteed a marriage but have no idea where I saw it now.

I thought there was an agency that charged $10 or $20K above and beyond costs, but guaranteed results.  Check the archives.

Well, Speaking of Elenas Models... they do offer a high end matchmaking service where they claim to do compatibility matching, etc, and will *find* your lady for you and will not stop the service until you are married.  Can't remember if they guarantee a marriage or not, but the cost of the service IIRC is $10,000 plus any additional costs.  They claim that it's geared toward business guys who don't have the time to do this themselves (though, I cannot really see how someone without the time to do this would be engaging in more than a $10,000 high end crap shoot).  But, hey, maybe they are that good at matching compatibility. I have no idea.

Righto! this not for me.  This is business related.

There was a post that referenced a web site that was very well written ... It mentioned its clients as Hollywood execs, and movers and shakers in the entertainment industries that were too busy to find "sincere" women for marriage.

The only thing I can actually remember is Gator's comment "Are you shitting me?"  i tried to search archives using that text string with no luck:) 

It was in November / December I think.

What I have in mind is somewhat different & no Ken & I ain't changing no pampers & ain't no hookers involved unless by request & they are deffinitly an extra!!
Like A high end suite in a 5 Star hotel or a luxury cabin at Sevido, a limo & driver 24/7.  Theatre tickets for Local & Moscow Theatre shows every weekend, for two of course. Cruise on the Volga in a luxury cabin cruiser (if I can find one, LOL) Other high end activities along those lines to keep him busy & dating ladies at the same time. Matbe a 30 day pass to the new spa & health club. Tickets to a different night club every week with reservation's well in advance for two of course but a max of 4.
Just some thoughts going through my head. Might even be able to hire a Butler or Gentlemans Gentleman if you prefer to wash & iron his clothes & fetch his meals or whatever. This could prove to be a one of a kind sevice. Gotta make me some deals  to make it work though, but I can see the cost for one month,  30 days approaching 10 K all inclusive. Ya want high end, I'll give ya' high end!! ;D ;D

I think you should advance this idea, seriously.  You may be surprised.

BC Thanks - that was one.

THERE WAS ANOTHER ... I remember it told the story of Russian nobility plotting a coup.  The women were given a choice to be with their husbands in exile - bad conditions; and the volunteered to be with their husbands.  This showed their inner strength and commitment - as the web site told the story.  DOES THAT RING ANY BELLS?

This would probably work better than a Butler... :D

What a great carrot for a gold digger!!!

I can't imagine a serious girl respecting a man that took this approach because a "good girl" will expect a man to be sensible with his spending.

Some men seem to think money will fix all but in this search money definitely comes after:

Time;
Understanding;
Patience;
Respect;
Basic good behaviour;
Others...?

Don't get me wrong... you NEED a decent financial position to take on this pursuit but all the talk about luxury trips just polutes the real challenges men face.

Yep... you'll find some fools that will pay the money but I wonder if it's actually good value?

By the way... I know many people endorse the use of guides but based on my experience I reckon a man will be better prepared to find and maintain a relationship with a FSUW if he is able to learn to navigate the daily grind.  LEARNING to cope is probably just as important!

Richard,

 While I do not know anyone who would be interested in having you act as a pimp, 10k for a month would be more than reasonable.

I agree that such a service would attract dubious characters - women AND men.  The element of "value" does not apply to these kinds of services. 

This echelon of service is offered for people who's NEED it is to pay an excessive amount for a product or service because there identity is blurred between the real and that which they can purchase.   Indeed, this is not the group on heaven's fast track.

One of my gigs is an artist agent.  I sell expensive art.  At one point, I realized that I do not sell art at all - I sell a mirror of the customer's ego.  When you see it for what it is: your palms no longer get sweaty when you double, or triple the price for no good reason.

Anyway ... thanks for the help.  I still have not found the web site I only faintly recall.

I heard of two high end personal introduction services, but both are non-internet based.

One is http://www.les-diners-de-florence.com, a signle event organized in a France by Florence Klein for single successful professionals about once a month. The participants are all pre-screened and occasionally personally met by organizers. The group of people seems to be quite small in numbers, therefore not a lot of choice.

Another seems to be the one run by a Russian Peter Listerman :) for Russian men only. He keeps a internet site where he invites the most beautiful girls for sending their photos. Listerman stresses that he is interested in real beauties only. I guess he must be keeping an impressive database :) He claims to cater for  particular requests of the most wealthy Russian men only.

Apparently "good value" is not a concept the ultra rich care to embrace. ::)

That is the biggest problem for me. It will most assuredly attract the not so desirable ladies who figure to cash in on some big bucks. My only solution to that at present is to charge them much more to be a part of this service. I will also likely put an age cap for this service for the women as well as some other restrictions. And no I will not be a pimp, LOL. This barrel has a bad enough reputation!!
I'm toying with this idea big time, just have to see where it leads. ;D
I can make it very exclusive & very luxurious but I am wondering if that will be enough.

FYI, Richard

There is a new marketing model being applied to the internet.  I think you could use it very effectively. Obviously, this is niche market ... but a big one. 

You create a club, you sell advice information and schedule experiences.

First you need to sell information and advise very inexpensively.  This requires putting the right material together: personalities programs etc...  I have recently met a guy is successfully putting together a instructional program for single men dating.  Last month he had a seminar, and the numbers surprised the crap out of me.

Anyway, all this creates a club and pays for the marketing and advertising that is required to get your heard.  Then you need to have an ongoing thing (product, information, service, whatever).  This is where you create valuable relationships. 
some customers in your funnel will pay a little; some mid-range; some can't pay enough.  Funny but true.

I can direct you to some sites that serve as case studies (not having anything to do with international dating BTW ... which is why the idea may be a good one)

Thanks Lily ...  I got to meet this Peter Listerman cat:)
