Arizona Matchmaker Roseann Higgins headhunting dates WM Phoenix Open SPIES Best Places to Meet Single Men Single Ladies 2012

WM Phoenix Open Ranks #1 on Matchmaker Roseann Higgins “SPIES Best Place to Meet Single Men and Single Ladies”

Arizona Matchmaker Roseann Higgins headhunting dates WM Phoenix Open SPIES Best Places to Meet Single Men Single Ladies 2012

Arizona Matchmaker Roseann Higgins headhunting dates at the WM Phoenix Open Golf Tournament for the 17th year since opening the company SPIES in 1994. The Phoenix Open ranks #1 in SPIES Best Places to Meet Single Men and Single Ladies 2012.

Throughout the entire PGA Tour, there is no golf tournament like the WM Phoenix Open. The Phoenix Open is the Super Bowl meets Mardi Gras of people watching.

Every year, women get on their boots and tight and/or low cut sexy outfits and head to Scottsdale’s TPC Golf Course in hopes of landing a wealthy golf watcher, celebrity, or corporate sponsor CEO caliber man. Ladies, hold onto your husbands and boyfriends. But there’s hope. With individual days’ attendance hitting 50-100,000 people, you will find there are good singles with good values. Keep reading!

I’ve attended hundreds, actually thousands of events looking for Mr. and Miss Rights for very eligible single men and women since creating SPIES – an executive-search style matchmaking firm in 1994. SPIES stands for Single Professional Introductions for the Especially Selective. The results we’ve obtained – SPIES 95% success rate – is because we’re constantly at the best events, and admittedly sometimes not the best events – we don’t know until we get there, looking for love.

Why is it easier to find good single men than good single women at the Phoenix Open?

It’s easier to spot good single men during the day at the WM Phoenix Open than at night at the Birds Nest and than it is to spot good single women at either. The good single men are the ones watching the golf! Some are also entertaining customers and vendors. Some bring their kids and have a blast inside the Expo Tent and walking around the course.

If you look hard, there are nice, pretty and normal single women at the Open. You just have to look harder to find them amidst so many girls in catch-a-man’s-attention outfits and high heels before you spot a couple nurses or school teachers who stand out because they don’t stand out, who’ve ventured into the treacherous waters of the Open for a day of fun.

We’re compiling our latest SPIES Best Place to Meet Single Men and Single Ladies. The WM Phoenix Open PGA Golf Tournament is #1 by far! Add in the Coors Light Birds Nest and it snags #2. You can go to either one without ever seeing golf!

This week is the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open PGA Golf Tournament. With 400,000-600,000 previous years’ weekly visitor counts, it’s become known as “The Greatest Show on Grass”…for what happens on the fairways and even more for the business networking, partying and girl and guy watching that happens in the corporate skyboxes and party tents alongside it.

At the end of each day’s golf, Wednesday through Saturday, there’s the Coors Light Birds Nest huge entertainment tent with scantily clad, mostly 20-something female servers who could give Hooter’s a run for their money. It took some digging to find the lineup of entertainment at the 2012 Phoenix Open Coors Light Bird’s Nest. I couldn’t find it on their fancy new iPhone app. That’s another new addition.

Mobile phones now allowed at the WM Phoenix Open

You are now allowed to keep in touch with the office and your family and bring in your iPhones and Androids and you don’t have to hide them in your socks or underwear (their words). There are restrictions on their site. We’ll see who pays attention to it. At least, please turn your ringers off.

The Thunderbirds have donated $75,529,794 to Arizona Charities!

Millions of dollars, $4,053,962 in 2011 alone, have been donated to Arizona charities via the Phoenix Open by the Thunderbirds – Arizona’s most prestigious philanthropic man club. They maintain 55 Active Thunderbirds who, with the help of Life Thunderbirds (aka Lifebirds, men who are retired from active status after years of backbreaking work, month in and month out, for this huge annual event, on their 45th birthdays into Lifebird status), have raised millions of dollars for charities as hosts of the 76 year Phoenix Open! Congratulations!

Per their own website, Thunderbirds Charities supports “the courageous athletes of the Special Olympics, youngsters of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Scottsdale, Phoenix and East Valley and the affiliated agencies of the Valley of the Sun United Way.”

“Why bring sand to the beach? The Birds Nest is not for first dates.”  — Matchmaker Roseann Higgins

One girl told me she has a first date at the Coors Light Birds Nest. (Not with a SPIES client.) How romantic. Music so loud you can hardly talk and thousands of single men and women on the hunt or being the hunted. I asked, “Why bring sand to the beach?” Maybe if you’ve been dating awhile, listening to the Goo Goo Dolls and seeing friends you haven’t seen since last year or in several years, could be a blast. A first date at the Phoenix Open Birds Nest is a true test of any visual man’s ability to stay focused on you and too soon to be testing. Good luck!

I’ll be at the Phoenix Open all week, starting with tonight’s Opening Night Tuesday Night Fever, searching for new single men and women who might be great dates for SPIES’ clientele.

We pass on gold diggers at the Open (or anywhere). Millionaires don’t have a problem finding them on their own...

People who work hard all year do and should plan to come spend a beautiful day outside on the golf course having a little fun and reconnecting with friends they may not have seen in years. I love every time I see some of the 45,000 people I’ve met in our community of 3 million residents since starting this company. And yes, if you’re a veteran Phoenix Open attendee, you know that among the thousands of attendees each day, you will find a prevalent presence of amazon blond and brunette gold diggers. They are ineligible for my matchmaking services because successful men can find girls who want their money free and this is not the Millionaire Matchmaker TV show. If you want to “meet my millionaires” (what she says on the show) and I get wind of it? “Bye bye! You’re free. And you’re on your own.” By 8 or 9 pm every night, the Birds Nest can become toxic with extreme partiers – also given a pass by this matchmaker. So, you may want to go early and get out! Plenty of tournament and early Birds Nest goers leave for nearby Scottsdale venues who host special parties for Phoenix Open attendees. Prime Bar at Scottsdale Quarter shared on Twitter they will offer a free entree or beverage with your Phoenix Open ticket.

If I haven’t seen you lately, you may enjoy learning SPIES is doing quite well! We’ve averaged introducing a marriage every six weeks since opening our doors in 1994. Through hard work and determination. As alluded to earlier, 95% of the people we introduce want to see each other again. And again. And again! ;)

SPIES has become known for it’s unique search methods – in a good way. We’ve given back and raised over $200,000 for Phoenix area charities while out looking for special men and women to date our clientele.

Our private clientele want a relationship and to be done with serial dating the wrong ones they meet on their own. My job is finding one-in-a-millions at these events for especially selective single men and single women who might be too busy or bad at choosing the right mate or the right dates without some professional assistance. I go to more events and meet more people than they, or nearly anyone, has the time to. And I love my job!

If you’re not in love by the end of the best Arizona event to meet singles all year, take action and call me!

So, if you don’t fall in love this week at the WM Phoenix Open, perhaps you should check out SPIES matchmaking success stories and come in and see what we can do for you. Or maybe you have a terrific single friend you want to find someone special? I’m here. You can call me personally and ask me anything before hiring us.

Thanks for reading and stopping by. If you go to the Phoenix Open, look for the 6′ blond in tennis shoes.  I hope to see you soon!

Nominations Sought by Arizona Matchmaking Service SPIES for our Top 10 First Date Places to Get to Know Each Other in Scottsdale and Phoenix

Call for Nominations!

Help SPIES select the Top 10 First Date Spots in Scottsdale and Phoenix to get cozy and converse with someone you might want to see again!

The Mission is nominated for SPIES Top 10 First Date Places in Scottsdale. SPIES is a professional matchmaking service est in 1994. SPIES President and Founder is Roseann Higgins, a former freelance writer for Phoenix Magazine.

The Mission, in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale at 3815 N. Brown Ave is nominated for SPIES Top 10 First Date Places.

Every night of the week, the Valley’s most eligible single men and women – who we’re excitedly awaiting date feedback from – are getting to know each other better. They may be on their first date or their 100th. We usually don’t get a lot of feedback after date five and until they have a big announcement or it’s time to find them someone new. But that’s off topic.

If you’re married, I hope you still have date night. One of SPIES longest married couples (14 years) still act like newlyweds and have dates with each other. They were going paddle boating the last time I called them (in August).

We’d like to provide a resource for single men and women and couples on our Facebook page so you have a place to turn for knowledgeable recommendations on places to take a date. Our clientele is busy and the places to go tend to change in the Valley. Roy’s in Scottsdale used to have an hour wait. Now you have to trek to the JW Marriott Desert Ridge to find them. But it is a great spot to sit on the patio, enjoy their lobster potstickers and listen to live music from the hotel…in nice weather.

What are your recommendations? We want YOU to weigh in with where you have had good luck getting to know someone special or ruling out the wrong one and wishing you were there with the right one. If you’ve spotted a gem or have

- a favorite restaurant

- hotel bar – perhaps Jade at Sanctuary Resort

- a tapas place

- a place with great ambiance or a view – Have you discovered the Rokerij cellar bar?

- an intimate music venue – bye bye Chez Nous, we miss you

- a resort – Camelback Inn rocks post mega-dollar remodel

- a dive to put her to the test and see if she can handle something that isn’t five star – Mickey’s Hangover closed – no more sweet potato fries and Cinnabon icing, but the Coach House is strewn with thousands of Christmas lights and has friendly staff and patrons

PLEASE, share your finds and favorites on our Facebook page and/or comment on this post. Don’t let us just tell you what we like. Help us learn about places we might not know about. If you have a great photo of a venue, send it!

We’ll announce when the Top 10 Lists for both Phoenix and Scottsdale are out. If you’ve commented here or on our Facebook page, you’ll know fastest. And when we add a subscription option to this website, then we’ll really be on the ball and you can hear about our news first.

Until then, check in regularly and see who others are nominating and maybe find ideas on where to take your next date.

Matchmaking millionaires, Roseann Higgins of SPIES uses discretion, intuition and precision and trumps reality TV

Scottsdale has it’s own Millionaire Matchmaker – Roseann Higgins of SPIES is LIVE on Networking Arizona KFNX 1100 AM
How do Roseann’s discrete, executive recruiting style dating introductions trump reality TV misadventures in matchmaking?

KFNX 1100 AM
at their Phoenix, Arizona studios

Tune in TODAY, Friday, September 30th, 2011 at 4:30-5:00 pm.
If you miss the show, keep your fingers crossed – excerpts will be posted on the press pages here on this website.

We’ll be asking matchmaker and entrepreneur Roseann Higgins how she maintains a high 95% success rate with a marriage on average every 6 weeks since opening the doors of her private matchmaking agency SPIES (Single Professional Introductions for the Especially Selective) in 1994. How do Roseann’s discrete, executive recruiting style dating introductions trump reality TV misadventures in matchmaking?

Read about Roseann’s many one-on-one, custom matchmaking search success stories on www.especiallyselective.com .

 

The impetus for this post and today’s Networking Arizona Radio Show topic was this email one of SPIES’ clients sent the first time they tuned into the Millionaire Matchmaker TV Show on August 31, 2011. The client was in shock and couldn’t believe this was an actual matchmaking business she was seeing on television. She, like many others, is falling in love with someone Roseann specifically recruited just for her: a tall, intelligent, kind, handsome, doctor who flies airplanes. He brings her flowers. Opens her doors. He is everything she wanted and more. He picked her up at the end of her interview at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in a sports car convertible and whisked her off to a sunset picnic. Roseann knew exactly who she wanted to introduce her to after a long phone conversation and confirmed it during their two hour personal interview. The two have been dating since April.

Here’s her email about the show.

Millionaire Matchmaker SPIES matchmaking client email OMG is this show real Screen shot

One SPIES matchmaking client who fell in love with her first introduction sees the Millionaire Matchmaker for the 1st time

=======================

“Over 95% of the single men and women who go on first dates that I matchmake go on second and third dates!” today’s KFNX Networking Arizona Radio Show Guest Roseann Higgins of SPIES reports.

 

The matchmaking people see on TV is sloppy. The matchmaker doesn’t treat clients with respect. Maybe that’s show biz. While the TV matchmaker finds dates millionaires can find on their own … somebody who wants to meet a millionaire and mooch off of them, our own Arizona matchmaker refuses to work with gold diggers. She finds meaningful relationships for the Valley’s most eligible men and women who are attractive inside and out and screens out the riff raff.

“I find girls that have so much more to offer and are more attractive inside and out for the men clients I work with.” Per Veteran matchmaker Roseann Higgins. Literally, she’s a former Chief Petty Officer and Lieutenant in the US Navy! She attributes her extreme attention to detail in matching singles and running a successful company for 17+ years to the military’s strict adherence to standard operating procedures (SOP) that save lives and protect our country’s National Security.

Want to find out what she’s screening and whether she can find you someone to go the distance with? Call her up.

Her direct number is (602) 241-1800 !

Per this matchmaker, “SPIES is also EXTREMELY PRIVATE and discrete. Our clientele would never go on a nationally televised show (for the most part) and put their private lives out there. Nor would having their anatomies talked about by their matchmaker be anything they would stand for. They’d kill a business’s referrals and tell all of their close friends who are also accomplished to stay away if I treated them like this and did such a poor job of matching them. Rarely do the introductions on the show result in relationships.

Instead, I have always gotten to know amazing people because I take care to make every single introduction as if the reputation of my company were at stake. It IS.”

Roseann Higgins will explain how SPIES introductions differ on today’s Networking Arizona!

SPIES has had a marriage on average every 6 weeks since 1994! Add in long term relationships, every 5 weeks!

Tune in to today to catch millionaire (and non-millionaire) matchmaker Roseann Higgins of SPIES in the hot seat on Networking Arizona with host Carol Blonder.
