All Quotes by Patti Stanger

— Patti Stanger

Relationship

“Think back to yourself at age 18. I know I was mighty different than the Patti I am today. As we grow up, we grow out of our haircuts, our apartments and - often times - our romantic decisions.”

— Patti Stanger

“A ring means a commitment. But more than that, it means that you've talked about your shared future and have decided together on a shared vision of it.”

— Patti Stanger

— Patti Stanger

Alone

“We go on dates thinking that person is our future husband or wife, without getting to know them, as we live in a fantasy and an illusion of romance.”

— Patti Stanger

Future

“I'm on the Sensa diet. It's a little magic powder based on Dr. Hirsh's clinical trials and studies and it basically signals the brain that you're full through smellology.”

— Patti Stanger

Diet

“I'm an advocate for gay marriage. I have more gay friends than Carter has pills.”

— Patti Stanger

Marriage

“The rich are different. Their wants are very high maintenance. They'll pick eye color and hair color, all the way down to what she does for a living, what school she went to. Their list can be extremely long. But at the end of the day, dating is dating, because they're human beings.”

— Patti Stanger

Dating

“On both 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette,' it seems like proposing marriage is equivalent to saying, 'Let's date.' Everyone knows those aren't the same things.”

— Patti Stanger

Marriage

“Taylor Swift dates guys so she can write a breakup song about them. I don't think she's dating for love - I think she's dating for creativity. So let's get her off the market and put her in dating detox. If she really wants love, she has to stop writing music about them.”

— Patti Stanger

Dating

“I dated a guy and he liked me but I didn't like him. I went through his wardrobe and cleaned out his house and got him to get a new car. He said to me, 'If I give you $10,000, will you find me my wife because I want someone like you?' And within a year, he got married. That was the first match that led to me leaving my corporate job.”

“A man can be drawn across the room with the simplicity of a smile. That's why your pearly whites should always be straight and shiny. I think most of my clients are drawn to a fun, flirty nature in a woman. The problem is, most women do not often feel fun and flirty.”

— Patti Stanger

Smile

“A lot of Hollywood couples get married young and wind up growing out of their relationship.”

— Patti Stanger

Relationship

“As long as women are in the work force making their own money and decisions, men are going to have to realize that this way of life is here to stay - because it takes two incomes to make it and more now. The sooner you address your style of saving and spending with your mate the better off your relationship will be.”

— Patti Stanger

Relationship

“Up until age 40, most men are just not as mature as women. So, it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit.”

— Patti Stanger

Age

“I had to find a diet that would kick me back into dating shape, because I know that I can't date at size 8. I have to date at size 2. And it's just a fact of nature. Go get your injections and your chemical peels. You gotta look good to attract a man.”

— Patti Stanger

Dating

“I have put gay dating on the map.”

— Patti Stanger

Dating

“If you're giving love and not receiving it, you're not in the right relationship. If you're receiving it and not giving it than you are taking advantage of the other person.”
