Introvert vs. Extrovert! Why can’t men just be normal? First you have a guy like Laurence – all talk, ego and delusion. Then you have a guy like Andrew – Cole Hauser/Matthew McConaughey with a limited personality. Both nice enough guys in their own way, but c’mon. Andrew – get out of your shell! Laurence – shut-up! FOCUS! Be aware of yourself. And seriously, the girl asking you out?! Laurence! Bad!
Interestingly enough, both my extrovert and my introvert picked the same girl. What’s funny is, I saw that coming a mile away! Whitney is that magical creature that can woo the quiet one by finding his inner 'extro' and make sparks with the obnoxious one by calming him down. I’m glad ultimately that she chose Andrew – he needs that...
Speaking of Whitney, my new Director of Registration, Rachel, I have to give credit to – she really pulled it out at the last minute after a rocky start. And figures, I get on her for Jewish...she picks shiksas… and that’s what they both choose! Good job, Rach! My staff always comes through – working whatever hours and doing whatever it takes to pull through. It’s a scramble. It’s stressful. And they’re the best!
Watch out though, my work still isn’t fully done with these two! Andrew, let’s make sure you can keep the girl. Laurence, you’re getting up there – time to settle down!
Hey, this might sound like a weird question, but -- what was the song playing in the background during this episode, early on, when Patti first enters Andrew's house???
Patti,
Enjoyed last night's show, especially when you called Anthony(?) out on being such an ass to Brie. Any man or woman who "tests" someone doesn't deserve a second date! I hope he is out of the club until he grows up and deals with his trust issues.
Keep up the good work.
patty, You just rock it, love it , love it, love it. You are so sincere straight shooter that's amazing. things are the way they are and you are there to let them know. Keep it up.
Dear Patti,
I have enjoyed your program and have re-learned a few things, perspective wise, on dating. Trouble is, I am not dating and have not been in the market for a few years. However, I am now seeking to once again emerge into the dating scene, at 56, as I am looking for a mate. As a woman who has worked very hard, is educated, previously a single mom, and still attractive, what about the men in their 50's and 60's who are looking for attractive, stable women? Do you have any insights and do you think you may do a few segments on 50 and beyond dating?
Patti,
I am not a co-parent but a true single mom. My ex husband wished I would have an abortion I thought a divorce was less deadly. I have raised my son alone and am very happy to have the opportunity of my son in my life.
Watching your show however has inspired me to spend a little time on me and perhaps look into dating again. I have not dated since my son was born. I thought the values I would be looking for were not something acceptable to men these days. That is why I never date. I am not a bed jumper and rather live without then to have a series of one night stands.
Thanks for the inspiration and allowing me to see I am not the only one who looks at things this way.
Hello Patti,
I want to tell you how much I love you and your show, You are such an inspiration to all of us women out there, i hope to look half as good as you do at 47. Im a 32 mother of three and absolutely love your show. You are such a strong, independent, extremey smart and outspken women that we should all look up to and respect. I wish you all the best always, God Bless you for all the help you give to the lonely and broken hearted, you are cupids helper and a dam good one. Dont ever change your ways your show is great because of your honesty and good heart. You are amazing! Good luck always!
Patti Girlfreind, That cute housewife of N.Y.city could diffentley use your help. She is smart, succesfull , witty ,and it makes no sense that Bethenny is still single. Not to mention she is one of the most attractive women (except you) on T.V. She needs to come to your show-Oh what a time that would be to see you fix her up with someone ! Love the show P.S. I'm not gay, but can't wait to see the show this week. I've got lots of gay freinds who will be watching.
Patti, YOU ROCK ,OH MY LORD> You are so right on with the not sleeping togather untill you agree to be exclusive. Men allways want what they want-untill they get it! Men are the "hunters" and like the chase." Why buy the cow if you get the milk for free". The show allows for some basic ,moral values, and it very refreshing coming from L.A. Guess it's the same where ever in the country you are from . Men want a lady in public , and a whore in the bedroom. You got it going on girl Luv Ya
i want to work for you patti!
no - this is not a joke
i think you are great - love your style, confidence, attitude, and no-nonsense tell it like it is personality!
it's exactly how i am - and like you, i mean what i say, and say what i mean
now i'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, or make any enemies here, but this is my opinion - your current employees are OK - i mean they are not fantabulous - well maybe dustin is halfway there - but the girl you have working for you is definitely mediocre, and you need someone of strength to help take your business to another level
you have high expectations, and you need someone who is on the same level with you to back you up and help you to succeed even more in this endeavor
i highly respect you and your opinions and judgements - if more of your clients would trust you and just listen to what you tell them to do, i am sure they would see thier love lives rise to a higher level in a much shorter amount of time
so in all seriousness - if you are seeking a new attractive, motivated, and professional team member to add to your entourage, please, do NOT hesitate to contact me!
=)
Hi Patti:
I’m a one of the millions of men who enjoy your show. I have some formal education but no special training, except for the information and training I have been able to personally gather through the “travels” of my life. I have a personal desire to keep my mind open, in order to experience and then learn what has been shared with me. I have a good memory!
I have a really good time watching each of the men and some of the women as they act and react to their then present predicament. At the same time, those same circumstances that allow me to enjoy, often make me laugh out loud as I watch (mostly) the men stumble over and over again, while they try to present this uncomfortable picture of sophistication, worldly experience, genteel manners and true international interests. The show intimates that these personal attributes are supposedly gathered from some significant exposure to education, travel, arts and charitable or civic participation.
Each man seems to have a business background, but obviously from watching the program, just because a man has been a “successful mechanic” and “specialist in a business” and may indicate a high but limited “savant” like ability, there is certainly nothing that indicates that a “wise man” is beneath the surface, or any strong, personal perspective or priorities that influence his life.
I believe that little besides money is coming from his business and the man still hasn’t developed the curiosity to want to “join” the socio-economic group he has propelled himself into.
From my observations, I believe your female clients, while some are not truly sophisticated, are far more perceptive and in fact most seem to have mastered the ability to “see with their ears”, while all the men I have watched to date, can only see with their eyes. It seems to take a man much longer to mature enough to “learn” to see with his ears. So much is being missed by the men and so much frustration is being encountered by some very high quality women.
The plans made by the men for each date, show no real understanding of a woman and her emotional needs. The first thing I hear from each man is… I am, I have, I own, I earn, my life, my hope, and my desires. How boring it is to a woman…How childish and un-sophisticated the man.
No real, sincere and specific interest in the essence of the woman that is currently with the man. No training and no desire to learn about how to sincerely compliment a woman and make a woman feel that in the man’s mind and his eyes, the woman he is with is “important to him”…even for the evening.
Many of the men seem to have no self control and their eyes are constantly moving in that unspoken, but never-ending search for the “bigger, better deal”.
The men are generally at least fifteen years younger (then the women) emotionally, self confidently, perceptively and with their priorities. In fact almost all the men are “afraid” of the woman.
What a group…With all respect, I believe the men are far too young for the woman and the women themselves are less than happy with these wimpy, unsophisticated men.
Isn’t it possible to find a group of men who have had enough experience to recognize that a woman is at her best, most desirable, from about twenty-seven to forty five years.
I believe that the best educated and highest quality women with some life experience, would appreciate meeting a mature, sophisticated, genteel and experienced man. A man with some true joi d’vive.
I also agree that the women want a man who is charming and economically viable, but also a man who has had some experience in his life and has the ability to invite the woman into this gentle, world of promise that can be exciting and yet stable, where the woman always feels protected in a life filled with life’s amenities, available for the two of them together.
Best,
Gerry
Patti comes off as an undercover racist when she works with certain clients. Of course, it isn't overt. She compalined about throwing together men to meet the former Destiny child member in 24 hours. I would have complained about her throwing together a selection of men for me to meet in such a short amount of time. I would have read much into that. Also, the former member of Destiny Child was three to four hours late for some reason. Viewers wasn't given the reason why. Personally I would have been fuming also if someone showed up hours later after an affair had begun. Her and one of her staff members kept referring to her as having a Divish attitude. For real? I know non celebrities that do the same thing. Some people are clueless when it comes to being prompt. She should have balled her out about that and left the Divish comments out. That's a sterotypical approach when dealing with Black women in particular.
Hi Patty! I'm a Patti too! LOVE the show. Love your advice, and wish your CORRECT advice was more mainstream... DO NOT HAVE SEX TILL IN A COMMITTED AND MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP! Good luck teaching this to MEN. Good luck Patty, teaching this, to AMERICA! But, you are perfectly correct! Why should we, as women, give it? Men act awful these days. You tell it like it SHOULD be. Something BIG has to happen though, to keep you on the air.
College dating, a view of the dates with your superb matchmaking advice, showing the actual people, might help. And a seniors or over 45 dating/matching on the side, might help. Single parents matchmaking is a good one! Why make it all Millionaires? You're the ticket honey, branch out now! While you have the chance!
Patty and Bravo, we like watching the hookups, the dates, and the outcome. How much money they have? That isn't the draw! Bachelor, bachelorette, cougar, and on and on.... It's finding LOVE the viewers want, or at least, drama to watch! And lets see the daters homes more. We see the guys mansions. Lets see the gals apts.
And it's not YOU Patty. You do a great job Patty and always look so danged cute, great legs and come off as smart and IT. Your millionaires, a lot of them, not many women would date, cause they are JERKS. The FL bush pisser? OMG!!!I'm from the south and was absolutely APPALLED!!!! eww
If I come up with any more ideas, I'll post them. I just don't want to see you go away Patty!!!! You have a great big SOMETHING to give to society. I appreciate YOU!
Patti, I think your show is great! It was nice to see your personal side when that trashy girl crashed a party she wasn't invited to, then personally attacked you on not being married etc. You are right, to each in their own time. I see your sweet side, and you look great by the way I didn't relaize you were the age you stated on that episode, I thought younger. I would like to say this about the guys, most of them are kinda losers, if they didn't have millions, half of them wouldn't get a 2nd look from the many attractive women on the show. To all the ladies out there, as much as men suck, women suck just as much. I would know because In addtion to my day job helping the mentally ill, personal training, I also have been a male exotic dancer for 10 years.. and trust me I have seen it all. I have been attentive to what women need, like and don't like, and also a lot of hyprocritical info, and somewhat jaded myself now towards females. All I am saying to everyone, is you need to find balance of looks, brains, $ ,but most important heart. Peoples character is what you should look for and in addtion be able to look at yourself on what you can open your mind and improve on, "Perfection" does not exist. I wish you were here in Buffalo NY to help people like me with great hearts who have a hard time finding a great girl. Ohh well... best of luck to you and everyone, again I think your show is great and you crack me up, but it also gets people to think, and I hope people keep a more open mind, that $ doesn't mean a great catch, and perfection does not exist.
xoxo
Bailey
Patti,
My mom always said it was just as easy to fall in love with a rich man then poor man and she's right. If I was available and in my 20's I definately would have been one of your ladies. I love how you prep the men. When you called that guy TPT (trailer park trash) then later in the episode he peed in the bushes and almost drowned the chick on the jet ski he show that money does NOT equal class. I'm a fellow New Yorker and I also call it the way I see it. If you need a NYC recruiter I would be up for the challenge!
Patti,
I love your show but I must defend the male species...we're not all like some of those men on your show. I was raised in the south and firmly believe in chivalry. I don't know what was going on in Michael's head but Elana is absolutely gorgeous. I saw her and my heart skipped a beat. She seemed so nice and honest in what she wanted and if I lived in California I would date her in a second! I'm very surprised that she didn't slap him after all his little stunts.
And this should be a lesson for the women as well...just because a man has money, it doesn't mean he's a great catch. There are those of us out there who are not millionaires (yet) but long to find a woman like Elana.
Hi Patti,
Just caught your show today and fell in love with it!! I want to know is Uri still single or available? I love how you ask the questions that we all think of later. Thanks for the great advice and can't wait to watch again.
Muah!
Marissa
Hi Patti,
Love your show and the way you set the guys and girls straight, they don't usually like to hear the truth about themselves and you lay it on the line...that's FABULOUS!!
However I would really like to know what happens to the couples that do connect.. like a follow up on their situation. You kind of get to know them on the show, and it would be nice to know if they are still together. By the way I enjoyed the episode where you stated it's okay not to be married, I'm 55 and at this point, love my freedom and am in a relationship, but as far as marriage... why mess up a good thing!
Keep on speaking the truth!
I'm an introvert just like Andrew. You're very correct in how to handle us, Patti. #1: Complaining about the lack of conversation will only make it worse. Big learning lesson for the ladies out there, learn how to ask the right questions and engauge conversation, and you will have a better time with your introvert. There IS personality in there! Whitney has that ability, along with the hotness, and captivating charm. Wish I could hang out with her too!
Patti,
Your show is the Best! I appreciate your frankness and honesty. As a Jersey Girl, I understand your humor, calling a guy Doofus, and he should be lucky I find him someone, he's 5'7. Your a riot! These guys and women are your show are hilarious. There is definetely a lesson to be learned by watching your show. What an eye opener and self esteem booster to us women. Sometimes we can't see what plainly is in our face. A Doofus is a Doofus!
LOL
Patti and colleagues I have learned so much from watching this show. There are discussions I never gave a second thought to such as “pillow princess.” It is true; some that says do me, do me, and do me. We woman including myself thought hey I’ll do you honey I show you what my mama gave me and to be honest with you ladies it is a bunch of crock. That is pure laziness, love making goes both ways. I have learned so much keep the tips coming in but most of all Patti, I hope you have a program for young teen girls staring in elementary school 5th grade on up. I just seen a show with a thirteen year old girl that lost her virginity a guy that said he loved her slept her and never called her again, another guy said he liked her at a football game and she had sex with him at the game behind some build, the third time she slept in with someone outside the skating ring in his truck, the fourth time it was her best friend whom she had known for years and she decided to sleep with him on several occasions, now that relationship is null and void. Patti we woman of all ages need to listen to you in a forum. I love, you crack me up, I laugh, I cry, but I take what you are saying to heart. A big hug to you and your colleagues, you all marvelous!
Patti:
The Uri-Zagros episodes are truly boffo! And Uri, while not a Type-A personality when it comes to dealing with women, seems to be the most decent and gentlemanly of any I've seen on the show so far. This show fascinates me!
Also, if you're so good at what you do, how come you're not married by now? Isn't that a little hypocritical?
Patti,
Nothing against you personally, but I'm just trying to look at things objectively. You claim to be excellent at what you do, but really, how many of the "couples" you match up actually end up together? Unless, of course, you call hooking up for a few dates that lead to nothing a "success". Show some success stories.
PATTI, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SHOW! YOU ARE SUCH A CLASSY AND INTELLIGENT LADY. YOU TELL IT LIKE IT IS AND TAKE NO CRAP FROM NO ONE. YOU GIVE SUCH GREAT ADVICE AND YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR STUFF! YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A RADIO TALK SHOW.
Patti,
I understand some people needs some touch ups, but sometime I feel like you are pushing it too far when you are trying to change the person whole persona. Isn't what make them who they are? Their sense of style may not be the best, but there is someone out there that would accept and love them just as they are. If the show is about finding and falling in love, there shouldn't be so much emphasis on changing their appearance, character, and even their home decor.
Some advise are well merit, but some are just completely out of line.
Still love the show...
My only question is how many people that you matched up that are either still together or actually got married? I think in order to say that your business has been successful would mean that there is a great ratio of actual matches that leaded to long time relationships and marriages. Because if these people only date for a short period of time and then break up one must ask, why is your service needed when they could have met the same people elsewhere at no cost and no rules or bounderies.
By the way I do like your show and watch it, i was just wondering.
Patti! You rock, girl :) I love watching you, listening to you and see how down to Earth you are! Wishing you best of luck in everything you do ;-)
Patti,
I love your show and your style. You are a "hottie potatti"! You are a no nonsense type of woman who knows what she wants. You seem to be about the bottom line and that is how it should be. I think you are great and should continue to do your good work. Nevermind about the party crasher. I forgot her name, so she did not leave any impression on me at all. You are much better than her and should not let her words sting you in the slightest. Keep being you.
Shalom!
Hi Patti,
I don't see a blog post about this but first of all I LOVE your show and watch it EVERY time I see the rerun marathons Bravo puts on... one I saw today I HAD to comment on...the millionaire from Chicago...when he said that airhead Cara Quici is CRAZY he meant it as a fact not an insult she IS crazy! Never mind exaggerated and fake...but really crazy?! I am sure once you saw the aired episode you saw how she totally acted the dumb blone...but if you had seen this SAME chick on Momma's Boys a show that aired on NBC a little while back you would have seen how crazy she was having a hissy fit when NONE of the guys on that show even wanted to spend 5 minutes with her and she was sent home in hysterics yelling "I am not going anywhere...I didn't even get a DATE!!!"...like a madwoman really! So Patti you are right most of the time but in this case I think you might want to apologize to Jimmy D in this case - he was totally Right!
I love watching your show. I love how you give it back to the men when they deserve it. Your a beautiful women. I have been in a relationship for 6 years as of this month, and because of your great advice from the show on season one i have been married for over a year now. Keep it coming, you can never give to much advice or improve on someones out look on love and life. Thank you very much.
Patti love the show! Be careful girl and not be so abrasive toward men to appear as a man hater it may defeat the good work you are doing to show men they need to have better manners. This world needs more old fashioned dating etiquitte. They should never be allowed to drink, I know that is a rule of yours but some men set women up to look like fools to justify why they want to stay single. And anyone can look rediculous no matter how smart they are under the influence. Just remind them of that. Keep up the good work.
Patti, i do watch your show. you are amazing. i applaud
your courage to face people who think that just because they have money that they can treat members of the opposite sex like toilet paper and still expect to find love. You are a much needed shot in the arm for people who behave badly regardless of there gender or bank accounts. Money can never be an excuse to treat people badly. Keep up your public service for the rich and pathetic!
Patti, I just saw the episode when the intruder was at your mixer. That girl is FOUL! I do not blame you for not asking her to your mixer, and to what she said about your relationship, the best advise givers are the ones looking from he outside, like therapists. Most therapists have their own troubles and seek therapy themselves! Harder to follow than see. You have a great intuition for what you do and do not let someone judge your personal relationships by your work. You do a great job. She is clearly mad because she is too disgusting to be in your database!
I saw your new hairstyle last night on the A-list awards and you look amazing. Love your show!
I agree! What are you getting for 25,000.00 ??? You definitely can meet the kind of girls Patti has on here on "Match.com"!!!! They are NOT A Material in my opinion. If that is what you get for 25 thousand than I will stick to finding my own girls. Nasty
Patti, if i wasnt gay id love to Date you! Your so Beautiful!
Patti,
I just love your show, there are never any dull moments, except for the re-runs which I will watch time and again. You are awesome and very outspoken, good for you!
The one thing I don't understand is, what are these people getting for a $25,000.00 membership. You could meet these people online or in the supermarket for free? It all seems bit of a rip off to me.
Hi Patti,
I have to say I absolutely love your show!!! I am 29 years old and been divorced now for 2 years after marriage to a wealthy man for 5 years. I only WISH you could have given him some of your great advice in how to treat a real woman, in order to keep her!! You are very honest and show these men that this is of utmost importance in their courtship. You are so real with these girls, too! Sometimes the truth hurts but you know exactly what your men are lookin for in a mate. I could not believe it the other day when I heard you were in your forties!!?? I would've thought you were MAYBE in your early thirties!! Good job, girl!! Your show will always be a part of my digital video recorder, repeats & all!! I would be very excited to know if you were ever coming to the Boston area!
I watched the show on Sunday April 12th. The blond girl who said she was a Scientologist, oviously did not know what she was talking about. Otherwise she would have know that a real Scientologist is someone who uses Scietology to improve conditions in life. The only thing she seem to be improving were the possibilities of making herself look stupid. Clearly she does not even know the meaning of the word Sceintology, for if she had it may have prevented her from making such a complete fool out of herself.
Love your show! But I was shocked to see that you were using a flip phone!!!!
Try getting an iPhone or Blackberry next season!
Patti is an excellent business person. She built up this business from scratch and obviously enjoys what she is doing. What is wrong with that. The show is a gem and they should have filmed more episodes for Bravo.
hey patti-- just love the show, im amazed at how many people watch it as it comes up in casual conversation.. i'm not a huge tv watcher but your show has actually captured me and now i dont miss an episode, a total rarity for this busy hardworking guy.. keep on keepin on lady, you totally rock!!
My sister watched the show with Andrew. She thinks that Whitney was all wrong for him. She thinks that Andrew is the perfect man for me and is obsessing over this. I don't watch your show but I think this is funny. My sis said that you were looking for a Jewish girl for him. I am Jewish and from KY, very pretty and I have a dog that is my best friend! My sister is convinced that Andrew is my soulmate! Haaaaaa. I told her that I would comment on your blog!
Patty!!!!!!!
I love your show, but sometimes I can't stand how ageist and shallow the men are. I'm 23 but the way the men on the show discriminate, it's made be absolutely terrified of turning 24! I really hope that's just an LA thing...
Hey Patti,
I don't know why there are people on here complaining about your relationship ethics. They obviously like your show and your advice, otherwise they wouldn't take the time to write hate comments.
Anyways, love your show and I aspire to be strong willed like you are. I am happy that your staff comes through for you, and if you ever have an opening I would work under you in a heart beat!
Patti,
You are so self-absorbed and narrow minded. You say you want to help people find love but you tell women to "sex themselves up" show cleaveage and get a tan. Is that really what love is about? Because I think that's retarded. O, and for people who are living together before marriage (o shame on us) guess what, we're happy and it's economical. Maybe people who haven't gotten married yet but are living together are just because they can't afford it yet but want to spend every moment of their time together. Wow, so strange. My boyfriend and I love each other and we want to be around each other all the time now and when we get married. Open your mind and shut your mouth that would be really refreshing.
I need your help bad, Patti! I am 44 y/o and have been divorced for many years. Unfortunately, it seems like men my age are either married or it's someone I'm not interested in. I seem to be a magnet to married men and I want so bad to meet single available men! I have tried the various dating sites with no success. Where do you suggest that I meet these single men? Also, all the men at my work are married.
Thanks in advance for your response!
Patti--I love watching your show! Your tough love to these guys is amazing! :-) Just wanted to let you know, you were mistaken when you said Paul Davis went to University of Michigan. He actually went to Michigan State University. There are 2 Big 10 schools in Michigan. And as an MSU alum, I wanted to set the record straight. However . . . after the way Paul acted, perhaps it's not a bad thing that you associated him with the wrong Big 10 school in Michigan! :-) Keep up the awesome work!
