Does anyone else find this show offensive and disgusting?

Sounds like someone didn't get accepted on the show.

Application denied.

I am not offended by it; it is designed to be prurient in nature. It is often fake, staged and sexist. But some of the characters are interesting. And, I actually have grown to like Patti Stanger! She is no nonsense and seems to have an insight on dating. Having only been on one date, I have no experience in that arena.

I like the fact that Patti always says that women should be the "jewel to be adored" or whatever. However, most of the millionaires on that show make me want to convert to lesbianism. Did anyone watch that freak last week who brought the monkey on the date? Yuck!

No it doesn't offend me. Actually, for the most part I like Patti and she is pretty grounded in old fashioned values, some of which are refreshing like no sex before commitment and courting someone. She is supportive and an advocate for the gay community so I dig her.

Yes she is hard on people's appearances, but she knows her stuff. Plus she has been upfront that yes she tells many women and men that they are overweight, have bad hair, or dress poorly, but these people are being set up with a millionaire.

Patti knows that she would win no beauty contests but she is not being put before a millionaire. She expects that if you are being set up with a wealthy, powerful intelligent person you need to have your A game going and cocktail dresses and dry damaged hair dont cut it. She also does alot of work on the millionaires too. She really knows her stuff about courting and finding a mate-plus she's entertaining.

This show is addictive!

I don't know, I find Patti kinda skanky.

[Corine2]

Posted: 2/21/10 at 8:43pm

I would never qualify for that show. The women have to be blonde, skinny and wear heals a prositute would wear. I watched it today and she told a gorgeous blonde woman she needed to lose 10-15 pounds.

It makes me sick. I also find her to only pick women under 30 and under 110 pounds. It is ok for the men to be fat, ugly and dumb but the women have to be skinny, young etc.

It makes me angry and I turned it off. I think they need another program for single women who are not 100 pounds, 5'11 and blonde. You would also think the millionaire would also want smart, funny and interesting. The millionaire men I see on that show are not attractive nor are they interesting. Money is not what makes me tick and I find it annoying. Patti is not attractive and neither is the man with the hair that looks like he stuck his hand in a socket.

I just find that she has a very vulgar mouth and thinks she is such an expert when a lot of it is just common sense- and yet, I watch!

I think it's hilarious!

[MTVMANN]

I laughed so hard when the Trannys were on the recent gay episode and one said that he was "becoming a woman" and asked Patti if she "remembered what it was like!"

And...though I am ashamed to say that I watched "Farmer wants a Wife", I do remember a fat girl named Josie with dyed hair...then I saw her on this show and Patti said that she was always trying to crash parties and I LOVED when she told her that she wasn't their type.

I also remember the guy known as "Sex-Toy Dave" and then he was on "Megan wants a Millionaire" but you all know what happened there...Thanks dude who killed yourself and your GF!!! That was my guilty pleasure this summer!

You don't have to be a stick figure to appeal to a man. You also don't have to wear bump me pumps.

[supportivemom]

I'm pretty sure I saw that very handsome older man that Botox lady walked out on because he was too old on the Cindy Margolis dating show. I saw a clip of it on The Soup and I was pretty sure it was him!

Corine, I think you are missing the point-this isn't a dating show about everyday people like us. It is a reality show about a women who caters to millionaire clients who are "shopping" for a mate with her help. She is looking for premium attractive people who have some personality, intelligence or charisma. I think you are personalizing this. If you want to see "real" people watch The Dating Game or Blind Date.

Also, she is very hard on the men when there is a female millionaire. She tells them they are fat, need hair plugs or hair cuts or dress badly. She's not sexist-shes an equal opportunity disser.

Please also keep in mind that there are lots of people out there ready to be objectified in order to date a millionaire. She doesn't force these people to deal with her scrutiny.

It is a guilty pleasure. I gotta hand it to her that she attempts to class the girls up but it is always the millionaires who really need the work but Patti knows of course they can get away with it and most of the girls are aware what they are about to enter.

" I think they need another program for single women who are not 100 pounds, 5'11 and blonde."

It is called E-Harmony and JDate.

While I would never qualify for the show, I do find Patti trying to push the millionaires to focus on more than looks when picking women to date. I was more offended by some of the millionaires who think just because they have money, they get to play mind games with the women. The men seem to be a little douchey.

Occasionally there is a nice guy who really is either awkward or lacking social skills, and I think then Patti provides a pretty good service.

Oh hell, this show cracks me up.

[Corine2]

Posted: 2/21/10 at 9:46pm

Jdate is just as bad. LOL.

I think I will give up on men and get a few terriers and be done with it.
PS I don't consider myself average but I could lose some weight and because of an accident I have to wear sneakers and or flat shoes which I HATE. I wore five inch heels before I broke my ankle and now I am part of munchkin land. I miss my heels but it is not worth it as it hurts! Updated On: 2/21/10 at 09:46 PM

Corine, you are a very attractive woman and a lot of straight guys like women that wear sneakers and are curvey. Also men, tend to like shorter women. So don't give up on your faith!
Being a short gay male is worse and we can't wear heels! LOL

By the way, yes, the 3 people that work for her, look way too odd.
That couple with THAT hair!!!???

And I don't know why I love the VP of the company, she is a total bitch to Patti, she asks for raises, and yet she gets to keep her job. Her new "do" looks awful too.

[StockardFan]

The one with Sex Toy Dave and the girl with the squeaky voice was on again yesterday.

And what about the 2 best friends that only want to double date? Weirdos!

[muscle23ftl]

Posted: 2/22/10 at 10:46am

No matter how many jerks I meet over and over I keep believeing in love, so I watch this show and hope that these people will find love. I want their relationships to work out!

I've watched it a couple of times and I have to say, I'm with Corine on this one. Possibly for different reasons, but still.

The premise offends me "MILLIONAIRE" matchmaker. Being rich is the defining characteristic of a "good catch" on this show. Doesn't matter if he's weird, as long he has money. And the client doesn't just want to meet a man and be happy, she wants a dude with $$$$. She just needs to be young, hot and a good arm ornament. Consider the ego factors involved. I have money: I am desireable. I am beautiful: I deserve a man with money. Ick.

Whatever, it's show business, but these aren't people I would want to know in real life.

Which brings us back to Corine... these aren't guys YOU want to know in real life either, honey. My best advice would be to stay away from the match-making as entertainment options and go looking one on one. Match.com (et al) or Friendfinders (or Adult Friendfinders if you want to be adventurous...)

Relationships aren't about being tall or short or fashionable or wealthy. They are about clicking with one right person. He's out there. Hope you find him.

Personally, I'm not offended by the show itself. I'm offended by some of the people on the there, but that's a different story. The episode where Shauna came back was probably the most irritating thing I've seen. The woman is horrific bitch, and I loved when Patti called her out, basically saying "You're going to die alone and dry."


She (Patti) is a little tough on people, but I appreciate that about her.
