I have a huge problem with watching The Millionaire Matchmaker. I find Patti Stanger to be crude, brash, and full of ridiculous dictums and platitudes that don’t belong in the 21st century. So imagine my surprise when I wandered over to her Twitter yesterday and found myself agreeing with almost every tweet!

Maybe Patti Stanger is just one of those epigrammatic people who expresses herself best in 140 characters. With those limitations, she doesn’t have space for crudity (“The PENIS DOES THE PICKING!”) or falsehoods (“STRAIGHT HAIR IS HIGH CLASS”), and is therefore forced to choose her words, and messages, wisely.

Below are tweets from Patti that rang so true, I’m almost tempted to give The Millionaire Matchmaker a second chance.

On First Date Bragging

Agreed, Patti — people who say stuff like this are obnoxious and usually a little bit insecure.

On First Date Drinking

At first I was like “Pshhh, one drink?” But if you stick to one drink, you can be sure that you won’t start acting weird or oversharing or doing anything embarrassing. You can also be confident that your feelings for the other person aren’t alcohol-induced. Not bad advice….

On Men With Money

Who can disagree with this?

On Cruises

No, no they don’t.

On What’s Really Hot

I’m pretty sure this is true, which is sort of a relief. Takes a lot of pressure off of the “perfect” outfit/body/hair/nose/whatever.

On Men Being From Mars

THIS is something that’s completely been lost with the whole “why are women single/men immature” debate that’s been raging. At the end of the day, blaming one sex or another for our inability to get together is not helpful, not helpful one bit.

On Finding Love

Uhm, this could be HowAboutWe’s motto. Too many people think romance is just a give-in, something that will just randomly happen to them when they least expect it. But they don’t put forth any effort–any it takes effort!

Well done, Patti. Well done.
