@SilleeMee this is a terrific show but I cannot watch it anymore as it depresses me more than I can say . . . I can't imagine what he had to say about dating sites, yikes that must have been brutal!

@KingstonsMom, I think new hosts start at $100,000.   

 

I'm sure execs make well above that, especially with bonuses.  

 

I can think of  better ways to spend $150,000.  Lol


 

Well that makes sense....no wonder the website is a piece of 💩.

His show about  dating sites confirmed what I have always suspected about them. I've used, or should I say fallen for a few of them myself.rolling eyes.gif @momtochloe

@SilleeMee I was under a lot of pressure to join one of the dating sites as folks were just besides themselves that I was single and needed to "find someone" . . . sigh . . . many of my friends that "found someone" don't seem very happy to me but they are married . . . for me, this is no different than singles bars in the 80's or 90's and I have no problem sitting on my couch by myself as at least I know it's my couch in my house and I don't have to worry about getting sued by some deadbeat that wants his toaster back . . . .

I completely agree @Justice4all as I would think AARP would tell her to sock that money away instead of flinging it around in search of love . . . goodness I haven't had great success myself but I would never spend that kind of money to help me find my "soul mate" . . . seriously, good grief!  And this is a QVC executive! . . . . gah!


And she didn't want anyone physically ill either @momtochloe, because everyone knows we get healthier as we age!


Well all I can say is @Justice4all it's a good thing she wasn't matched with me as I cannot say my health has improved with age . . . 


I think that seniors looking for partners often want to stay away from someone in ill health who's going to need regular or constant medical care because they don't want to take on that responsibility. I imagine that for many who had prior marriages, they've been there, done that.

I don't see it any different then men at 62 wanting them to find him women that are 22...blonde...big assests in other places...and open to unusal acts shall we say!

 

This lady just wants someone like herself (she must be in good health and wealth)....shows you no matter your level of income finding someone isn't always easy.

@suzyQ3 I apologize for my rather flippant reply as I fully understand not wanting to enter into a relationship that involves taking care of another person as I have spent the majority of my life taking care of family members.  I feel she is being very naive in thinking stating this up front will weed out those that may need care as many people will not admit to challenges upfront and coming from QVC and their array of products that cater to folks that need some assistance she should be on defense in terms of folks as if you are used to dealing with people that have challenges it doesn't take long to find these things out.  I think anyone that can afford to spend 150k maybe doesn't have the hand's on experience other folks have in terms of figuring out who is healthy and who may be not be as lucky.
