LOS ANGELES May 31, 2006 (AP)— A widow won $2.1 million from a high-priced matchmaker whom she claimed failed to deliver on promises of introductions to cultured, wealthy men.

Anne Majerik, a 60-year-old social worker from Erie, Pa., claimed in a lawsuit that she paid Beverly Hills matchmaker Orly Hadida $125,000 to be introduced to men who wanted monogamous relationships, earned more than $1 million and had estates of up to $20 million.

Instead, she said, she only got a few introductions to inappropriate men. For example, her suit claimed, the matchmaker's "international banker" turned out to be "an interpreter that worked in a bank."

Orly claimed Majerik became her client after she helped the widow prevail in a lawsuit against another matchmaker, San Diego-based Valenti International. She said Majerik, whose husband died in 1999, gave her "enthusiastic feedback about nearly every man to whom Orly had introduced her."

You are gonna have to find you a sugardaddy and start throw it around.

Yikes that even frightens me!

So maybe her husband was wealthy.

is an incorrect verb here and that even the accurate "was awarded" is often misunderstood.

Ridiculous judgements such as this are often reduced by the bench.

Dammit, I hate sloppy editing. :grr:
