‘Millionaire Matchmaker’ Patti Stanger says men are intimidated by women now: ‘Nobody knows the rules anymore’
NY Post
The game has changed — but Patti Stanger is still the same.
Singles everywhere seem to be complaining about the dating scene these days, whether it be the deplorable state of apps or that no one knows how to pick someone up in person anymore.
Enter Stanger, 62, the audacious love liaison who helmed the long-running aughts series “The Millionaire Matchmaker.” Now she’s teamed up with Nick Viall, 43, of “The Bachelor” fame, for “Patti Stanger: The Matchmaker,” which premieres Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern on the CW.
They help lovelorn singles — wealthy or not — navigate changing dating dynamics to become the most eligible versions of themselves to find that special someone.
“It’s like nobody knows the rules anymore,” Stanger, who has long valued traditional gender roles, griped to The Post. “The old regimen doesn’t work anymore.”
Although women are increasingly successful in many areas of their lives, Stanger believes that shifting societal norms have negatively affected how we date.
While many New Yorkers are thinking about their New Year’s resolutions by creating a vision board or writing down a list of goals for themselves, Hell’s Kitchen resident McKenna Rine is rummaging through her underwear drawer to find the perfect pair to ring in 2026.
