Well Patti Stanger Says..............

Hello There My Lovelies..............

Okay, y'all know that I watch Millionaire Matchmaker with Patti Stanger. I also bought her book last month.

The book is addressed to women. It's a good book for the most part, but there are some things in there that I just either don't agree with or I don't think I would have the balls to pull off.

Case in point.....................

Patti says that men don't like short hair, curly hair, wavy hair or red hair. She said that in order to attract a man, you have to have long hair and straighten it out. Maybe that's what many men in HER club request, but she has a niche market.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard men say that they thing curly hair is sexy.
I have wavy hair, it gives my hair body, and I've gotten a lot of compliments. I do own a very nice Chi ceramic straightener and while it does make me look good I don't think the only way to get a date is with straight hair.

I also didn't agree with the red hair statement. She said that women with red hair aren't the freshest produce on the market. I have to disagree. I think that they are rare, mysterious and intriguing, and that men would be happy to be with a red head.

As to what I don't have the balls to do to match myself up with a millionaire............................

Well, let me be clear about one thing. I am not looking for a millionaire, but Patti assumes that women reading her book are out there looking for men that will provide for them. She says that in order to find your future husband that can provide for you, it's all about location, location, location !

She suggests that when you meet a man and he asks for your phone number you hand him your "bio card". It's a postcard size card with a photo of you along with your cell phone number and a very brief description of yourself. She says that while it may sound desperate, it is actually pretty damn smart. Look at realtors, that's why they post their pictures on their cards, so people remember their faces, and you're more likely to get a call back if your face is remembered instead of only your name.

Still, I don't think I would do that. I don't think that I am that type of girl. Really, if a man has a conversation with me and is really into me, he will call. He doesn't need my picture to remind him of who I am. I still think it's desperate.

Another thing she suggests is going to the car dealership such as Mercedes or Lexus and becoming friends with the car dealer. Basically, make friends with him and offer him a list of rich men that you've dated in exchange for him recommending some of his clients to date you. She's convinced that the dealer will be forever greatful.

While I think that may work if I were a professional matchmaker, but never in a million years would I ever try this to get a man for myself. No way, no how. First of all, I don't know any rich people, or single people with the income level that are actually in the market for a luxury car.

Second of all, even if I did know people like that, wouldn't the dealer laugh at me if he weren't busy trying to grope me first ? I just don't ever imagine that scenario ever working out.

The last thing she said is something that I wanted to ask all of you. She told us women readers that we should never take relationship advice from gay men. We should mainly get our advice from straight men, since the straight men are our target market, and women, since we're built the same.

What do you think ? Where do you get your relationship advice from ? I will speak for myself and say that it does not matter. I will take it any way I can get it, man, woman, gay, straight. I would not exclude a gay man's advice, and believe it's most honest, they don't sugarcoat it.

Anywho, the book is interesting, and I can't wait for her next episode in a couple of days.
