Let's put it a different way (this should play better with the male crowd who don't understand):
You walk into a Ford dealership with 20K and say you want a loaded F-350. They rightly say "Sorry sir, you can't afford that, but you can afford a Fiesta hatchback!" Rightly you say no thank you and keep your money. You want a truck, and even if you can't afford the truck you want, you're certainly not going to spend your money on something you don't want.
What they didn't do was say "Sure, that's possible, please fill out the paperwork and provide the cheque." So you pay 20K, think you're getting an F-350, and they present you the keys to a brand new Fiesta you just bought. Wouldn't you consider that insane and criminal?
If a person asks a matchmaker service to set her up with someone her age, employed, and who she finds attractive, it's not acceptable to charge her $7000 and fail to meet her basic requirements, no matter what she looks like. If she's really that bad (she doesn't look like she should be resigned to the toothless unemployed to me) then you say "Sorry, we don't feel we have any suitable matches for you." Simple, honest.
