Millionaire Matchmaker

I am really sorry that I am not able to watch Millionaire Matchmaker on a regular basis. It's a real hoot, my only problem is how many times can we watch selfish millionaire try to find love only to sink into their primal urges? Who knew that Patti was a third generation Matchmaker. I didn't even know that was professional option, let alone something that is handed down from generation to generation. On this episode, we meet Patti's mom and dad. I'm visualizing the matchmaker of old as the Hello Dolly type or of the Fiddler on the Roof type, neither of which Patti or her mother fit. Patti's clients this time are Peter, the Renaissance man and Tai and German (pronounced HerMann). Peter is into marital arts, Qi Ghong and meditation. He is a humanitarian whose main cause is to feed the hungry and has fed over 20, 000 families. He is looking for a professional, mature, intelligent woman, not your actress type. Patti was elated that finally a man with sense and maturity and was looking for someone with the same brain and sensibilities. Unfortunately her next clients come as a pair and want to double date. Patti says they are suffering from Wingman syndrome. When they date, they need a wingman which will definitely not fly with alot of women. At the gathering where Patti has hand picked the ladies to match what her bachelors are looking for, Peter is instantly drawn to a cute, young blond, Cynthia. Patti says to Peter I thought you would prefer the red head as she is a social worker, does yoga, and meditates. No Peter prefer the ditsy blond and tells Patti so. Patti's response to this is the ding dong is the brain center. Ya think? The frat boys, can't decide on their dates so they pick dates for each other. They are just plain immature and silly. I don't even know why they enlisted the help of Patti as apparently they just want to party. Peter takes his date out to dinner. Obviously there is an age difference, he's forty and she's twenty something. When he starts to meditate over his food, Cynthia starts to giggle. Well, I can't blame her here, I would be rolling with hysterics. He then tries to impress her with his humanitarian feeding 20,000 families, to which she replies that she's cutting down on carbs too. Uh dud? When the limo pulls up to Tai and German house, the girls in the limo are treated to a view of the guys shirtless in the window Chippendale style. Erin is not impress whereas C.J. is up to the challenge. Dinner was like a night at the fraternity party. Tai is really immature and made to fast of a move on his date. Needless to say, the dates did not work out and Patti suggest that they try dating solo. Peter was not given the call back from his date, gee go figure! Oh, did I mention also that he a total control freak and that is probably the number one reason why he is not with anyone. Poor Patti, she has her work cut out for her. Glad that she feels she is doing a service of spreading love and joy, I guess someone has to do it!-Single D
