Patti StangerIn the gay world, [relationships] will always be open. There is no curbing the gay man.
Patti StangerThink 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 StangerIf you're a successful woman, chances are that you spend a ton of time working.

Patti StangerI'm a planner, and most networks don't plan. Bravo doesn't plan. Bravo is lucky in a lot of ways - they've got a lot of great talent, but at the same time, they don't nurture it. They lost 'Project Runway.'
Patti StangerWomen are smart in business and dumb in love. They won't date outside their zip code, let alone outside the city. They are city snobs.
Patti StangerFor the women in California, they're just downtrodden because they're so gorgeous here. Every hot cheerleader comes to California to make it. The men don't want to get married, they're lazy lions. Matthew McConaughey is their poster boy so they can procreate and live on the beach in the trailer and have kids and have money and be hedonistic.
Patti StangerI'm a very stereotypical person... and that's part of my flavor, I guess, because I tell it like it is.
Patti StangerI donโt hate redheads! The millionaire men - wealthy men - never pick them. Every time I offer them they say no. I could say the most gorgeous redhead in the world and theyโll say no, they donโt want it. Now if you ask an Irish guy in Ireland, he says yes. Because thatโs indigenous to that country.

Patti StangerAs 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.

Patti StangerOn 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 StangerA man can be drawn across the room with the simplicity of a smile. Thats 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 StangerGays don't have a lot of testosterone. I'm talking about that they use both sides of their brain. Straight men only use one side. Gay men are very bright, very handsome... they put themselves better together. They dress good, they decorate, they clean, they cook.
Patti StangerI 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 Stangerf you have been divorced once - male or female, but especially for females - and youโre over 40 youโre actually a commodity. It means you were able to commit once, and youโll do it again.

Patti StangerMy favorite splurge would be gluten-free pizza. Or I'm a total truffle addict so truffle mac and cheese.
Patti StangerTaylor 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.
