 | Millionaire Matchmaker: A Personal View!posted by RF Club, Group AdministratorWednesday, November 3rd 2010 @ 11:18 AM (not yet rated) |
An evening with Lucy is not all that interesting. My husband and I have been married for over 23 years and we pretty much fit the ‘old boring couple mode’ but make no mistake we are happy and that is all that matters. We enjoy television. Oh, and here is the thing we have always enjoyed television. Don’t go and get any fancy ideas that this came with age and we ‘slowed’ down. Nope. We actually were frustrated that we had those busy years of running around and raising our kids interrupting our television viewing (joking, just joking, sort of). Anyways, my point, we enjoy television during our ‘down’ time. We typically start the evening watching shows together. We enjoy a few comedies, such as ‘Big Bang Theory’ and Two and Half men’ and then we enjoy the dramas, ‘The CSI series of shows” and ‘Criminal Minds’ and such! After a few ‘together shows’ we then venture off. I like my Reality shows and he watches sports. Anthony, likes to get on the computer and so do I. Now, on occasion, on a very rare occasion Anthony will just get on the computer and hand over the ‘television’ to me. Meaning, he just hangs out on the couch and doesn’t feel like heading into another room to watch sports. It is typically close to bedtime and he will just ‘wait it out’ with Reality in the background while he reads on the computer or grabs his book.
Last night, I was watching the Reality Show, “Millionaire Matchmaker”. For whatever reason this seemed to distract Anthony. If you are not familiar with the show sorry and if you are then you might think it was Patti Stanger and her loud mouth that kept drawing him to the television. Maybe?? If you watched last nights episode it could have been the Brooklyn punk? Who knows, I didn’t really ask. Why? Because I found Anthony’s remarks funny. He kept glancing up from the television and they went something like this.
Anthony, “Why is that girl (The Millionaire Brooklyn Punk’s date) going out with him?” I said, “Well, she thought it was going to be a nice date!” Anthony, “Why would she think that? When they were meeting the guy said I like to get DRUNK for fun and she said she doesn’t drink. She just wants his money.” Bingo!! I must admit originally I felt sorry for the girl but these girls do not have to say YES after they have their ONE ON ONE with the bachelor. She met the guy. He was honest and said he GETS DRUNK FOR FUN and she said she doesn’t drink. Now, maybe he should not have picked her but the woman should have told Patti “No thanks”. Oh, and let us get TO PATTI the matchmaker. At what point is it her RESPONSIBILITY to step in and say, “Nope, not a good match, try again. This is what you pay me for and I need to put my foot down.” I mean in all honesty she is ripping these millionaires off. Why does she even bring the wrong type to the mixer?? You can’t change a guy that much. A non-drinker??? C’mon! Oh, and yes, I have seen Patti claim they have to learn the hard way. I guess that clears her guilty conscience of charging them. I would assume they have been learning the hard way for free and that is why they decided to go to a Matchmaker to stop the ‘learning of the hard way’ DAH!!!
The other millionaire was a gay gentleman. He seemed to have trouble liking ANYONE. Unfortunately for him he tried to have a LONG date for the first date. Once again, “Hey Patti, the matchmaker, shouldn’t you suggest baby steps and short dates for this guy?” Anyways, his date failed too.
My husband looked up and he said, “Does that happen all the time, you know both millionaires strike out or was that just an odd show?” I said, “No, that has been happening a lot” I went onto say, ” Patti Stanger claims to have a high success rate but we don’t see it on television.” My husband said, “Who pays for that shit? Oh, and does she kick people out a lot? “ I forgot to tell you she kicked out the Brooklyn Punk Millionaire because he refused to apologize for being himself. Do I think the guy should have brought his ‘posse’ on the date, drink himself silly and treat the girl the way they did? Hell no. But, my husband has a point. You can’t change a guy totally and if Patti took him on as a client she is suppose to match him, not change him.
I finally saw it through my husband’s eyes and he basically said it all. Millionaire Matchmaker is not about Patti Stanger matching a person with the love of their life for who they are NOPE it is about Patti Stanger thinking she can change people into something they are NOT. That won’t work. You can’t change the core of a person and you should not try.
Hey, maybe I should go into the Matchmaking business??
Do you watch Millionaire Matchmaker? Do you like it?
