Ewww! Millionaire Matchmaker

[nancy324]

Why oh why didn't I change the channel??? Now I need my brain washed out with soap. I watched an entire hour of Millionaire Matchmaker or whatever it's called. Please tell me the world is not made up of guys of every possible age wanting to date twenty-somethings and women who want to marry money. I know it's my own fault, so I have no right to complain. My only (lame) excuse is that I needed an escape and Law & Order was all repeats and the book I'm reading is called "Anti-Cancer: A New Way Of Life" sent to me by my mother who made me promise I would read it.

I know what you mean Nancy! Those people are awful, and Patty is so mean too. I've watched it a few times and I also felt dirty afterward. I do think it's funny that these terrible men pay huge amounts of money to a woman who just abuses them!

Thanks for commiserating, Amy. I feel like that awful show is permanently etched into my brain now, like a Lina Wertmuller movie you spend decades trying to forget. I'm going to need to watch about a dozen Hugh Grant movies to go back to feeling good about the world. I know I overreacted, but I found it disturbing.

Nancy, you should have popped in a Cathe DVD!

Patty can be mean but she's right a lot. Her entire office is loaded with people who hate those AGEist guys. On one segment last season where, as usual, the old coot wanted a 20-something she set him up with a very young wack-job. It was hysterical. She was trying to make a point. Last night, I caught one where that idiot hard-to-please 48-year old guy (who keeps coming back, evidently milking his 15 minutes for all it's worth) stood behind a 2-way with another millionaire and got to hear what those young girls think about dating old guys. It served him right.

As a single 47 year old woman those idiots really piss me off. It's like they think because they got a little money they can demand a young thing come to them and heel, like a dog on command. Yet, when they take the camera out on dates it quickly becomes obvious why they're still single - and it's not because they've been busy building their business. Sometimes, I think having money makes people delusional (Think $1,500 trash cans... Sorry. I'm still mad about that).

I think Matchmaker Millionaire is hillarious. I think Patty treats the men as they truly deserve.

These millionaires need to grow up, date women their own age, and, more importantly respect women!

I had already done my workout for the day, and as much as I love Cathe, she's not my idea of escapist entertainment. In any event, I was too tired to even get up and find the remote! Talk about lazy! But I sure did learn my lesson.

I guess these guys are all about status, which for them means having tons of money and women younger than their daughters. I suppose their need to overcompensate for their feelings of inadequacy is more compelling for them than their desire for real happiness.
