Are you online dating? Check this out...

Our friends from Maclynn Int’l, asked me to share a select few clients they are currently working with in case I have someone in our network who could be their perfect match! While I can't share those clients with you guys, I want to nonetheless point out that Maclynn may be a good option if you're online dating. Why?

"We assist clients all over the world with achieving one very important life goal – finding their ultimate match. Our team of matchmakers are qualified psychologists and relationship experts."

Each person is individually profiled and automatically added to their offline ‘black book’. Maclynn International extends an invitation to all Conga members and friends to become one of their Open Members. Maclynn's matchmakers commit their time to their Private Members, individuals who pay for active service, then tap into their network of Open Members to hand-select the best matches and make one-on-one introductions. Pretty neat system, if you ask me.
