Hi looking4amate-ga,
I?ve answered a number of questions before on high end dating
services, and believe I have found some for you in Toronto as well
that would work great to meet your needs. I have found five high-end
sites that I will outline for you and point you to.
1. Executive Toronto Dating ? in business for 19 years with an 89%
approval rating from former customers.
You sign up with their site with one of three packages. Standard
997.00 (6 mo.), Premium 1497.00 (1 yr.), and Executive 1997.00 (2
yr.). The 1 yr. and 2 yr. packages offer what they refer to as a
substantial (up to 50% off) discount.
Within 24 hrs. of you signing up, you get a phone call from Executive
Toronto Dating (ETD). They conduct a 30 to 90 minute phone interview
learning your likes, dislikes, and other aspects of your life that are
important to finding you a match. You then get a personal counselor
for your time with the company, not a different voice every time.
They?re quite flexible with the interview time ? ?will call you at
anytime and anyplace--days, evenings, or weekends.?
In most cases, you have your first introduction in 7 to 14 days. Your
membership term does not start until your first introduction. They
guarantee 2 to 7 introductions per month on average.
?You will receive your introductions in the form of an email ? or a
profile dossier. Nothing to save, no complicated instructions, and no
suspicious attachments ? whether your skills in computers are beginner
or advanced our service is designed with all people in mind. The
personal dossier will include your introduction's picture, their
occupation, where they are from, and so forth. It will also include a
profile commentary provided by your Introduction giving you a better
sense of who they are.?
In addition, they?re quite flexible to your needs ?
?If you connect with a potential partner and you want to give the
relationship some extra time, we can adjust the pace of your
membership to one that works best for you. You also have the
opportunity to put your membership on hold ? without your membership
length expiring and at no additional charge. We can also do this if
you are entering a difficult work period or plan to be traveling. Let
us know your schedule and we can make sure any introductions fit
easily around your important obligations, be they work, family or
anything else. Are you planning to be in a new city for a month or
two? Executive Toronto Dating clientele?s base is international. Let
your counselor know a month or so ahead of time and there will be
introductions ready for you by the time you land. Remember, a new city
is always more interesting when you have someone nice to show you
around.?

2. The Allied Network.
?You?ll begin the process by meeting with a consultant for a private
and confidential interview to discuss your lifestyle, goals, values,
and interests. We?ll also discuss your expectations and priorities as
well as the qualities and characteristics you consider most important.
The information you provide during your interview, along with our
compatibility evaluation, help us to make meaningful introductions. We
thoroughly screen all member applicants to ensure the highest level of
comfort and safety.
Once your membership is activated, Allied conducts an extensive search
for the perfect match. We look at a number of criteria for
introductions including age, height, education, occupation, physical
appearance, race, religion, interests, goals and values. Our staff
personally reviews each candidate and selects the most appropriate
date for you. Both members then receive a phone call from Allied with
a detailed description of their potential date.
We want you to be completely comfortable with the person we?ve chosen
for you, so you can approve or reject any introduction. You are in
control at all times.?
The meet all applicants in person, do a background check, and do not
allow substance abuse or any sort of a criminal record. They also make
sure they?re not involved in a relationship, emotionally stable, and
ready for long-term commitment.
While I?m not so sure this is HIGH-END only, they do offer
personalized service and is closer to Janis Spindel that you
mentioned.

3. Single Professional?s Network.
This is a bit different from the first two. It is a social club that
holds dances/dinners/meeting in upscale locations with hundreds of
people so that you can social network and meet other singles in your
area. They have been around for 14 years. They hold an event a
weekend. They?re mostly dances, and many times free dance lessons are
available before the event.
Each event has an attendance fee, most of them were listed at 13.00 a
person, and they stress dressing to impress with no jeans allowed.

I do notice that they offer some events for men over 50, so your age
range is a possibility with this one. I say that since it does not
offer the personalized service the first two have offered.

4. The Alternative.
Their website does not offer a lot of information. It seems like a
personalized matchmaking service, but they did mention on the site
they the majority of their clients are between 30 and 55 years of age.
The thing that concerns me is that they have a scrolling banner
stating Marital Status Unimportant. You may want to do some research
into this one. I can?t give it a good recommendation off what is on
their site, but I could be wrong. She?s been in business with this
service for 23 (since 1982) years. They offer four types of
memberships:
1. $250 for a 3 Month Basic Membership.
2. $350 for a 6 Month Silver Membership.
3. $600 for a One Year Gold Membership.
4. $1,000 for a Two Year Platinum Membership, which comes with an
unlimited number of introductions.

?All information must be complete to be considered. Upon acceptance
and approval you will be contacted by one of our social agents. Due to
high volumes processing takes approximately one week. To apply quicker
and to expedite the approval process please call for a confidential
interview.?
