Omar,
Thought it was a great idea... especially if you are worried about bad intentions! ..plus, I think if it had been with the right girl, you guys would have had FUN! PS are you still single? :)

I thought it was awesome that you took that girl to haul junk. It shows you that she is probably more interested in your cash than anything else. I suppose a pair of pants would've been helpful for her but otherwise I laughed pretty hard. It was "you"! In all of these shows, the men show a "made up" version of themselves where as you were 100% yourself. My kind of man ;)

I wanted to put my opinion into this topic, so here I go. I thought Omar was showing the real person he is, not afraid to be like everyone else instead of hiding behind a fancy suit and desk. Yes he probably should have informed his date to bring comfortable clothes to change into and maybe previewed the job first however he is a very handsome man and seemed to be very genuine and would seem like he would be a good husband, to the right girl. His date was simply judging him on his choice of date and not for the person he is and the kind of woman he needs to be happy, to bad for her....good luck Omar :)

You know lots of us tweeze, pluck, shave, curl and yet don't have a stab at national tv. If this date was composed of caviar and baloon rides it would be a snoozer. It was funny and the girl was a sport. Omar was the highpoint of the show. You couldn't stop watching him. What a range of emotions he displayed. Never too cocky, but not afraid to eat a little humble pie. He's adorable and and he'd be worth a little dirt under my manicure.

Your idea for a first date was HORRIBLE! haha but at the end of the day your concept for avoiding the formalities of half hearted laughter and awkward forced conversation made a lot of sense. Maybe next time pick a sport where she gets to kick a ball at you or something, i don't know, maybe she will knock some sense into you ;)

I think you did the right thing.

Your poor date probably spent a lot of time getting ready - waxing, tweezing, hair, makeup, new dress, new shoes...and probably felt really beautiful. Then you came along in your truck and told her all that didn't matter. Moreover, you humiliated her on purpose. You could have warned her that you were going to have a physically demanding date so she could have worn appropriate clothes and shoes. Instead, just to amuse yourself, you decided to humiliate her and denigrate her efforts to look nice for your date on national television. Your little ploy was apparently designed to expose some sort of character weakness in your date (how patronizing of you) but instead it exposed the weakness in your own. Shame on you.

Omar,

I LOVED your idea for a first date and LOVED the fact that you stuck with it even though Patti put you down for it, ON NATIONAL TV.

I know others have said this but, I would haul junk with you any day!

The only thing is, you have to tell your date not to wear heels and a mini so they are at least prepared! :)

hahahhaha you are hilarious. I seriously love you. lol sooooo cute!!! PLEASE PLEASE I will haul junk with u anyday.

I thought it was hilarious and perfect!!! Who cares what others think, I would of made it fun!!!

Your work makes you who you are. If a girl doesn't want to share that with you they don't belong with you

I can completely understand why you are paranoid, but that is no reason to humiliate your date to make sure she is not "above manual labor." Hello!!! I grew up on a farm and vowed I would never do manual labor again when I grew up, so I went to college, got a degree, went into Information Technology, and became a successful techie. Now that it's MY money, I do a lot of my own work and repairs because I hate giving it away, but if any man I dated suggested I haul junk on a first date, I'd probably tell him to go to hell. I am not a millionaire, but I made damn good money and I'll be damned if I'll let anyone talk down to me or treat me like some low-class day laborer just to find out if I really like them. There wouldn't have been a 2nd date... In fact, I don't think I would have finished the first date!

You blew it buddy!

Get real, Omar.

How diresrepectful are you? I guess the poor girl should be glad that you don't own a mortuary or a truck that sucks crap out of septic tanks.

Your problem is not all the gold diggers in the world, but the fact that YOU believe all you have to offer is your money. And, if that's true, then there's no need for you to find a wife, invest in an escort, because when the hour is up, she leaves with only the money you gave her.

Your treatment of that woman stinks, but then...you do haul trash.

I actually thought it was really cute & completely agree with your idea & your reasons for going on a junk haul date. The only thing I think you should have done different is to go check out the job 1st & make sure it's not a crazy one!

Hey Omar, It was a win, win , win for everyone. First, it was ridiculously funny. I know what you were doin' buddy. You guys turned your company name into a household word. I'm gig to take a page out of that book. The viewers...me included got what they needed., entertainment and by the number of times I see you guys on you must be the rating kings. So give me some tips. How do I get on there? I've got a landscape business and I'd like to see if a girl can handle tree removal, mud, heavy rocks, etc. As a business guy and for whatever insane reason a fan of this show my hat goes off to you.

Omar, you're afraid a girl will want you for your money - fair enough. Hello! You're not exactly famous like Brad Pitt - so, if you don't flaunt your money, how would anybody know that you're rich? Geez... just live you life and stop wearing your wealth on your sleeve. Just BE........

I can see why you would want to take a Cali chick junk hauling...hahaaa. That must of been at least a little funny. I think what you were maybe trying to do is break this girl down and kinda see what she was made of... You should maybe try like a cooking date, like learn to make sushi or something. Or what about a lake day? A little boating, skiing, picnic on the beach stuff... Take them out of there element a little, something they wouldn't expect from a "millionaire". Save the wine n dine, flowers, etc. for a girl that deserves it. I don't know, I guess Patty is the pro--Good luck!

Omar you are beyond this world sexy I mean to not sound manly but you're beautiful I blushed the whole time I watched your episode. I thought your idea was insane hilarious. And your shyness nervousness and the fact that you sweat a mile a minute when in an awkwad situation is the sexiest thing I witnessed this morning at 3am. You really made my heart jump if I could shrink you and put you in my makeup case and carry you everyday it would be my only wish! You are so desired !! <3

Omar,stick to your guns. I NEVER watch these shows, this came on while I was doing something and I kept stopping to watch bits and pieces. When I heard you say what you wanted to do on your date, it made me light up because I thought it was cool. I'm a "girly/guy", all woman, but I like to get dirty and flex my muscles too. I'm also practical, I like a flower now and then, but a CD plays forever, doesn't die and make a mess. Men always want to take me to the symphony and such. One of my best dates was breaking down a motorcycle to sell it's parts on eBay. Another, we started out doing one thing and ended up in a junk yard looking for a specific part for an old Dodge Ram truck. Got filthy on both and had a great time. Something about those type activities brings out the real banter of a person.

I do suggest you warn to wear casual attire, and get your meal in first, before you get filthy. I understand you "testing" too, I'm not wealthy but I do own a successful business and a couple of men have tried to woo it out from under me.

Patti is probably right most of the time about that kind of girl being a zero, but not always, I'm at least an 8, live about three hours from you, but.....I'm 42 so....no dice, but stick to your guns, you know what you are looking for,

My instincts told me you are a control freak with and you forcing some woman to haul crap on a first date is your way of controlling her - through humiliation. Seems innocuous at first but you seem like the kind of man who will eventually abuse a woman by tearing her down in passive aggressive ways. This was very passive agressive of you. You need psychiatric help.

Dude, you are so insecure; time to find some good therapy

Omar, you are so frickn sweet! I think that would be a fun date with the right person, if she knew a head of time. It's not about impressing someone, but about how you get along and the chemistry. It happened to be a fluke that I ended up watching this show, but i see your point and wanted to say so. I would want to know that someone was into me for the long haul as well! I live in New Orleans and enjoyed voleteering to gut flooded homes when I first moved here, which was a very dirty job. Maybe next time, doing some charity work would be fun and the girl would not expect a pay check at the end of the day ;P

Your mistake was that no person, man nor woman, wants to be surprised or set up. No one wants to feel foolish. If it wouldn't have been a surprise, she could have, as she told you, dressed differently and you would have thought she was adorable. I like helping people move, but if a guy starts out courting a girl by making her work for her meal, she thinks that he will always be making her prove herself and that he doesn't want a partner so much as a slave. As a third date it would probably have been fun and novel, especially if, in your previous dates, you described what you liked about it and allowed her to come up with the idea on her own. As a first date = no. Also, get over the whole, they only want you for your money thing. Unless you are dating strippers or clubbers, most women want more than just a wallet. Yes, income makes you more desirable, but its the whole person a woman wants to commit to, not the wallet. Money to men is what beauty is to women. How would you like it if someone showed up for a first date in her sweats with oily hair, no make up and glasses to test you to see if you liked her personality, when you knew she was Ms. California that year? You would be confused by the message she was sending, too. Same deal, my man! Good luck!

Omar...sometimes you just need to figure things out for yourself...only a desperate woman with low self esteem would ever allow you to put her through that...Is that really the kind of girl you want?

Omar, if you would have taken me on a date hauling junk I think it would have been fun. I think that was a good date idea. I figure you just want a girl that takes interest in what you do for a living. What is the big deal about that. Am I the only one who thinks this date idea wasn't bad??? I'm NOT UGLY NOR DESPERATE!!! So Patti is DEFINATELY WRONG when she said the only girls that would go on a date like that are UGLY and DESPERATE!!! Any couple who can go through a 'move' or 'hauling junk' without arguing, I think thats a pretty good start! So don't let everyone bring you down!!! You'll find the right girl that will love what you love and will take an interest in what you do. Good luck! Don't change who you are just cuz some so called matchmaker on tv told you your date idea was bad. Do you believe everything you hear on TV??? hahaha

Omar,
That was the worst idea for a date--ever! And we all got to watch how awful it was on national television. You have so much to learn! Just because you love to haul junk doesn't mean everyone else does. How would you feel if a woman took you to work as a date? She was a great sport about it too. I can only imagine her disappointment in you after she got all dressed up and looked so nice for you. Business is business but you need to develop other aspects of your life and do something more interesting in your free time. Life is soooo much more than money. Don't be so boring. Get over it!

I sooooooo adore OMAR! Just live and learn, Omar. This is what matters in the end.

Manny is so right. Palease Omar!
As mama said if its just as easy to fall for the poor guy why not date the rich one. Personally I have dated all kinds rich, poor, younger, older. The rich ones are paranoid and the poor ones have their own set of problems.
Most women want the whole package not just your money dummy!

Omar stop worring about what these people think. I understand what you are looking for, someone to get get down and dirty with you. You want someone who can help you make that money as well as spend it. There is someone out for you who is like that and she's not ugly, desperate or a zero she's a real sexy go getter that appreciates a good working man and she's a hard working woman. I am actually describing myself but im sure im not your type I am an African American who is a self motivated business woman. I am sexy definitly not a zero or desperate. I wish i could upload my picture to this blog but i can't. So visit me on my Black Planet page

Omar,

Listen. Any woman who joins a dating service called "The Millionaires Club" is looking for money; I agree with one of the other posts on that. You'll find the right woman doing activities you love. Intelligence and substance in a woman (and a man) can be found! I really felt for you because it was visible on your face when you realized the date was a disaster with Rachel. Of course you're nervous and you hate first dates. We ALL hate first dates! Keep your head up--and relax!

Hi Omar
Nice try, but it was painful to watch...
I f you are really want to find a girl, who will love you for who you are, not for the money - spent a couple of days in the camp in the forest :-) or go to the island, where you will need to "survive" and you will see if you care about each other
But first, be a normal guy (wine and dine, flowers, movies - do all the regular stuff)
Good luck!

Omar, Everyone will have an opinion about everything but the truthe is you are looking for love. I honestly dont think you can find love on a TV show. It could happen but I honestly think lust is the first thing that happens then you fall in love later in the months after 8 months or so. Why dont you try looking for women in other states TX is the best and dont tell them you have money. The other thing is I noticed you seemed a little insecure, youre good looking and dont doubt yourself. Work on your self esteem. Trust me the right girl will come along once you decide what youre looking for and stick with it. It also helps to write down what youre looking for in a woman. I found my fiance that way. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Omar,

I understand you are looking for true love, trust me I was there once. I can almost gurantee that looking on a show with this title will get you gold diggers. There are some girls out there that probably found you cute for having a different idea. The truthe everyone has a different opinion. Although everyones opinion doesnt really help with what you really want. I suggest you take time to get to know a women you really like. Go with you gut instinct and also look for the qualities that are important to you. Thats right whats important for you not your friends. I actually wrote down a list of the things I wanted from a man, only a few and kept them realistic. Guess what I got more than I aksed for. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years. He is loving, giving, caring,smart, and supportive. These are the qualities that are important to me. We are planning on getting married in a few years. My point is meet different women and find out what you really want from a woman write it down and let it all come to you. Yeah there will be women who only want you for your money but you should be able to spot them out right away. If they start asking you for money, if they expect you to pay all the time, if they treat you like crap, if they play games with you. Intentions equals results if someone out there is really interested in what youre looking for she will give you what you want and in return you need to work on being the best man for her as well. Your a good looking guy realize that and work on your self esteem.

Good Luck

Omar,
People will always judge harshly when you go on TV so I hope you are not taking the comments too personal. I never post on these things but I thought of you after my date today. I also have some tests up my sleeve. Personally, I believe everyone does. Good men are just as hard to find. I am no ones "sugar mama" or a man's arm ornament. The TV show was probably not the best place to find someone that is not interested in your money but at least you are trying out different options. Bolder than others. Like others posted some ladies do not mind working with their men or starting over. Some of us are actually harder workers than some men. Next time you do your test let them know not wear high heals, it will go better. You will find someone, you have a captivating personality and some of us do get your humor.

Best Wishes to you!!

Oh Omar, why do you assume girls are after your money? Either you're attracted to the wrong qualities or you're looking for women in the wrong places. If you want to find the woman you claimed to be looking for: volunteer. Instead of focusing on you, your money and your desires, focus on someone else for a change. Here's the secret about volunteering: down to earth, single, beautiful, intelligent women are usually volunteering as well. Not one of them will know you're a millionaire, so if you click, you know it wasn't about the money. The added bonus is that even if you don't meet the woman of your dreams, you end the day feeling like you did something worthwhile, and you probably made some friends along the way. This advice really goes for anyone out there who is looking to find someone. Hang in there, stay positive, and never turn down a date. You seem like a good guy Omar, your heart was in the right place and that was clear.

Ahhh Omar... you are one of the sexiest guys I have ever seen, and I totally get why you did it.. yet Patti knows what shes doing but it really had the potential to turn into something fun.. but there were so many heavy things there it would be harder, but I really liked your idea.. and you still look sooo good in that green shirt... ahh.. too bad your like 10 years older than me cause I would have been your pefecttttt date!

Omar, how ya doing pal? hope all is well. i thought your date idea was great. it was something different and not your typical date. i thought it was hilarious! my sis and i would of loved to roll around in the truck, lol. heck, if i went on a date with you, i'll say to come to my house and we could clean out my garage, lol. anyway, i hope you find what you're looking for. enjoy life and be blessed.

Hello Omar,
I get what Patti was saying but I wouldnt have minded hauling junk with you and spending that quality time with you. Maybe afterwards we could grab a bite to eat and talk some more. So dont take Patti the wrong way she is just looking out for her girls.

Omar I never watched that show before until today janurary 21st....I totally understand u being ah bit scared of the girls being after your money and all but come on! First date u carry her to dump junk? U see a pretty woman in heels and a minny dress ready to go some where calm cool quiet and lady-like...listen, no matter how much test u give a woman, if she is after ur money u would never find out by giving her physical labor...u get to know someone by they way they speak.....u listen carefully to them and u work from there....and stop being paranoid about ur money u have to spend inorder to get...if u b selfish u will loose it all and don't know what happened to it....chill and use logics are u going to give givr and give and get nothing in return? Or are u going to give and observe while doing it and watch out for the. Redflags? Good luck omar if it was me were definitely going to loose the nervousness

TOTALLY AGREE WITH OMAR!!! I would never normally go to a website and post my opinion but, watching this show right now is making me a little crazy!! What do you expect when going to LA? You will not find someone who wants to haul junk... With that being said, I hate the "dinner" first date... (BORING).. I am hot, smart, fun and would rather just go to a theme park out in the fresh air where you can be silly, spend the day talking and see if there is a spark... I would even haul junk b/c its not the typical "date" that society sets!!! Come to Orlando and we can totally haul junk!! haha!!

I thought the date idea was a great one! Maybe not for the exact reasons Omar was thinking, but something different. I would much rather pull on some boots and do some work than go up in a hot air balloon. A ballon is so cliche. And its fun to see how you would work with someone on a date and what an accomplishment to see at the end! Omar is adorable and I would go on that date with him anytime!

Omar...
Conceptually, I can see where you were going.

However, a big more research on YOUR END of things to ensure a date LESS traumatizing would have been a better indicator of the girl's intentions. A less strenuous, less filthy job would have given you the best of both worlds: A woman who UNDERSTANDS how you became a self made man. AND a woman who isn't afraid to back you up when the going gets tough.

All you did was prove yourself to be some kind of Neanderthal with no respect to the feminine mystic.

I have a relative who did this kind of "test" with his future wife. Had their first few dates be ice fishing! He was a true outdoors-man and didn't want to sacrifice that part of his life for a woman who didn't support his interests. They are now married with two kids and still do outdoor sports together.

You silly young man, Patty was right. You wine and dine a women, see if there is any chemisty. Get to know each other, time will tell if she is after you money, honey. Any young women that tells you that would be a great first date is after you money, I would presume. Change your dating style and you will find the girl of your dreams.

It's funny that half of the women who commented that the date was great idea are also interested in dating Omar. Let's be real; if Joe Blow you met at a bar showed up with a junk hauling truck to take you on a date, most women would not go.

The date idea isn't a bad one. It's just disrespectful, considering that HE doesn't even haul junk anymore! He sits behind a desk all day. It's like a doctor saying, "I wanna make sure my wife can perform surgery before I marry her"; or a fireman saying my wife should be able to put out a blaze before I consider her for a date.

oh my gawsh....I loved it. Hey Johnny it's a show It's not real life. Two cool guys employing people across the country. They got their brand out there buddy. Was anybody hurt? They certainly didn't call anyone "ugly, fat" or too "Puerto Rican." Even that is part of the razzamataz of show biz. Omar and Nick made me smile and that's something in todays world.

Oh Omar. I don't even know where to begin with this one. NOONE is going to enjoy hauling junk whether they like your company or not. It's not fun and it was a stupid idea. You probably lost a good girl over it.. Oh well..

You need to have more faith in yourself and if a girl is after your money, you will eventually find out anyway. Stop the foolish, immature "testing" and chill out.

I watched it and I thought the hole thing was actually pretty cute. I mean everyone goes out to dinner and things like that on a first date. Who would think that a millionaire would haul junk? I do think it would have been better if you had at least warned her to wear jeans I don't think ANY girl would be stoked doing that in a dress. I totally would have had a blast! It all depends on what kind of girl your with what kind of reaction your get. I just figured your get a lot of negative comments about your date so I thought I'd give you a positive one. :)

I think you should have listened to Patti. She knows what she is doing and seriously NO girl-EXCEPT one looking to get to your money will haul junk with ANYONE on a first date.

I think you should have done something simple like others have mentioned ..or listened to what you PAID Patti to do..but I guess you really aren't looking to find someone, just wanted to prove the "Matchmaker" wrong!

I've got two words for you.

YOU LOSE!

Omar,
You are right on target! Dump the Millionaire Matchmaker idea, I'm not a huge fan of the show, but from what I've seen even the intelligent women are shallow.
I've been married 25 years. My father was an M.D., and I have my Masters in Public Health, I tell you this because in spite of my apparent affluent upbringing and education, we were raised to do physical work and a lot of "do it yourself" activities (cleaning horse corrals, etc.).
My husband is also an M.D. We dated 2 years, and during that time I helped him landscape his yard (yes digging trenches, laying sod, etc.) and we also did lots of other fun "Real" dates.
His colleagues that married young, beautiful, less educated and "married for money" are all divorced and unhappy with how their life worked out.
Find a woman that will be at your side good times and tough times. Girls looking for millionaires have one agenda only -- gimme. gimme, gimme.
Bon Chance!
