Who are we?
Formed in 1986, Buddies ’n’ Pals ’n’ Partners is a computer dating service. Our
goal is to help you meet someone capatible, both socially and sexually, as a friend or a
lover.
How does your service work?
When your application is received it is entered into our computer system, the computer
assigns you a client number. It then compares each of your attributes to those of all the
other clients currently in our data base, eliminating those members having too many traits
you have classed as undesirable and retaining those that meet your requirements.
The report you receive will contain the following information about your matches: A client
identity number, a mini-profile listing all the attributes the client used to describe himself,
as well as the authorized contact information provided by the client Our double screening
process ensures that you meet the other clients’ requirements.
Your client number is used to allow us to verify your identity when you call our office, you
are the only one who should know this code.
How much does it cost?
Our service fee is currently $35, which includes a one time processing charge and your
print-out of the top 15 matches from our current data base. As well, you automatically
receive a six month membership during which other members may be matched with you;
they will receive the authorized contact information you have provided. You can know of
these matches only when they contact yoil
You may also order our MatchPlus service for $55.00. This fee includes 30 client
matches and a 6 month membership for MatchPlus service customers. You may update
your contact information at any time without charge.
What else do I need to know?
Members agree that the information they provide is complete and accurate. As well, that
any information they receive from us is confidential, for their personal use only, in accor
dance with the objectives of the service.
We reserve the right to decline applications for any reason, if an application is declined a
full refund will be issued. We also reserve the right to terminate any membership without
refund if the information provided is found to be deliberately incomplete, untrue or
deceptive.
How do I fill out the Application Form?
We know you hate reading instructions, but in order for us to provide you with the best
possible service, please read these instructions carefully before filling out your Bud--
dies’n’ Pals’n’ Partners Application Form.
At first 191 questions may seem a bit overwhelming, but, in fact, filling out the Application
Form is really not that difficult if you follow these four steps:
STEP 1: Fill in the section entitled Membership Information (For office use only). Enter
your name, full mailing address, zip code, phone number. (We will contact you by phone
only if you include a phone number here). A mailing address is required for sending
match lists.
STEP 2: Complete the Contact Information section and sign the disclaimer. The contact
information you provide here will be given to members who match with you. The contact
information should include your first name and phone number or a contact address. Use
this section to tell members something about yourself, information that would not normally
be included in the mini-profile. The use of this section is entirely up to you. However, giving
out work phone numbers or home address is strongly discouraged!
STEP 3: The numbers 5 thru 1 to the left of the attribute name describe the type of per
son you would like to meet Circle the #5 when the attribute is strongly desired in a
match. Indicating a # 5 will never disqualify a potential match— only give a higher com
patibility score to someone who possesses that trait Circle #3 for okay if it doesn’t
really matter one way or the other. Circle # 1, if no you would not like this attribute in a
match. A #1, acts as a vote against the person, it automatically disqualifies them. A
maximum of 3 no’s are permitted before a disqualification occurs. Any uncircled
attributes are treated as okay.
Computerized Application Form

due to errors on your application. Your application must be complete or it will be returned
