red flags, dating apps & body odor: an intimate evening with the millionaire matchmaker
Patti Stanger, renowned for her success at pairing wealthy singles on The Millionaire Matchmaker, is now flipping the script on matchmaking with her latest endeavor - infusing pheromones into perfumes.
I was lucky enough to be invited to test the collection which promises to "boost confidence, amplify allure, and deepen connections." While I haven't yet experienced the phenomenon of strangers approaching me on the street, I admit that I enjoyed the smell of each scent. I also appreciated Patti’s bold and unapologetic insights on dating which she shared throughout the evening. Here are some of the most memorable.
daters, don’t rely on apps
gen z’s are increasingly putting down their phones and instead looking for real world connections. For those using apps, use them sparingly. After a few online exchanges, express that you’re not interested in a text pal. If the other person is hesitant to meet in person, move on. Searching online should only account for about 25% of your time. In addition, open yourself up to “risk and adventure” such as meetups or coffee and chill.
patti’s red flags to watch for
they blow up your phone but never ask you out
they focus on themselves and rarely ask about you or give you complements
they ask, “when can we hang out?” vs “when can I see you?” (the former is typically a booty call)
the person asking you out asks to split the check
patti’s dating do’s
Do:
ask your date for a referral if you’re not feeling it. say something like, “I’m not sure this is going to work out for us but I may have someone for you. Any chance you have someone for me?”
wait to have sex. According to Patti, a man’s cellular dna stays with you for 7 years so really think about who you’re sleeping with and consider getting your oxytocin through bonding activities other than sex
compose a list of things you want to do so you’re always armed with good date ideas. Plus, you’re guaranteed to get something out of the date regardless of the other person
if you’re over 30, don’t waste more than a year on dating and start negotiating about 9 months in
