QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

We are a private family-owned high-end boutique matchmaking firm with a global reach, modern mindset and a nostalgic heart. Club 1942 was founded with the aim of giving busy, HNW gentlemen a truly worthwhile dating experience, and since 1998 we've been introducing the most discerning men to the most sensational women; and are (secretly) responsible for some of the world's happiest couples.

While the majority of our work is unseen (all the sourcing, interviewing, vetting and shortlisting), for you this results in a dating experience that's as easy, as it is enjoyable... • Only date when it suits you. • Only meet women who match your brief, turn your head and spark your interest. • Relax knowing your privacy and interests (to include financial) are being protected. • With an unlimited number of introductions, simply continue the adventure until the chemistry's right.

• Workplace Romance When you're at the top of your game it’s often seriously frowned upon; and it can get horribly messy if things don’t work out. • Chance Encounter With everyone focused on their screens, opportunities are increasingly rare, but also increasingly hazardous: she may not be straight, she may have a financial agenda, she may take offence or interpret the approach as harassment. • Apps All those profile questions, the swiping, and interacting - before there’s even a first date. Then there's the women who aren't on your wavelength, don't seem interested in dating, don't match their photo etc. Lastly, there's the risk of a data breach, and/or the embarrassment of colleagues, fans or employees seeing your profile (63% have seen the profile of someone they know. Pew Research Centre, 2020). • Dating Agencies Their aim is to make multiple matches based on a database of male and female clients. Unfortunately, they rarely achieve or maintain an equal ratio, meaning quality is compromised and mismatches are common - usually because you fit her type, but not vice-versa (which also applies to dating apps).

It's entirely different for every man, so your ideal woman will be as unique as you are. Here are some 'must-have' examples from various former clients: • She should be sweet, kind and supportive. • Oxbridge graduate in her 30's. • A certain religion, e.g. Jewish (Ashkenazi). • Be able to ski and play the violin. • Blonde, like Cameron Diaz. • Must not want children.

Our service appeals to busy, discerning men, so whether you are: • 28 or 88, • in or out of shape, • high or low profile, • like your martini shaken or stirred, • divorced, widowed or never married... As long as you're a chivalrous man, you're a Club 1942 man.

Imagine breaking bread with women who share your goals and interests, are on your wavelength, engage your mind, and would naturally turn your head…and you still get the thrill of the chase! If we accept your commission, it means we're confident you will enjoy a world-class dating experience.

Never. Gentlemen of a certain calibre appreciate that our high-end approach focuses on privacy and results, not photos.

We invite you to sit down to a one-to-one with Club 1942 Founder: MARYANN It's a relaxed and confidential meeting where you'll be made to feel understood, without feeling exposed. You're welcome to suggest somewhere convenient and wherever you'll feel most comfortable (we personally find any of the Firmdale's or Ivy's to be informal and discreet). Please allow approximately 45 minutes for coffee or 90 minutes for lunch, and we ask that you give at least 48 hours notice should you need to re-schedule. We don't accept every commission, but assuming there's a good rapport and we're confident we can deliver, Maryann will send you a complete proposal, to include our exact fee, and leave you to decide if you'd like to begin your own dating adventure!

We travel far and wide and work with gentlemen throughout London, the UK and internationally.

From GBP18000 inc. for an unlimited number of introductions. It's a fully bespoke service, so the exact fee depends on the complexity of your commission, i.e. the more difficult the brief > the smaller the pond of potential matches > the higher the fee. After your consultation with Maryann, she'll send you a complete proposal (to include the exact fee), and leave you to decide if you'd like to begin your own dating adventure! N.B. We donate a percentage of all client fees to the Venice in Peril Fund.

We only accept commissions from men, but warmly welcome you to join our network of sensational single women! It’s entirely free to register, with only a token fee payable in the event of being matched: Lady Register

Not only do we work exclusively for you because we celebrate, champion and respect men, but our utterly bespoke approach also removes any conflict of interests. Apps and agencies aim to make multiple matches based on a database of both male and female clients. Unfortunately, an equal ratio is rarely achieved - meaning quality is compromised and mismatches are common (usually because you fit her type, but not vice-versa). Men-only means we're able to keep you in the driver's seat, and us focused on the search for *sensational* (as defined by you).

Yes, we do! Via our sister company: Max+Manfredi
