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 you.

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.

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 Buddies '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 Boxes on the left hand side of each column are used when the indicated attribute applies to you. Check at least one box per section, only one box in sections which are mutually exclusive (ie., Age, Height, Hair, Location).

STEP 4: The words YES, OK and NO to the left of the attribute name describe the type of person you would like to meet. Circle YES when the attribute is strongly desired in a match. Indicating a YES will never disqualify a potential match. Circle OK if it doesn't matter one way or the other. Circle NO if you would not like this attribute in a match. A NO acts as a vote against the person, it does not automatically disqualify them.

Computerized Application Form

Dear Buddy: Please read the instructions carefully so that your match list is not delayed due to errors on your application. Your application must be complete or it will be returned to you for correction. For best results, please indicate at least one of your own traits in each of the main sections of the application form (i.e. Age, Build, Race). Membership Information
