As previously stated there are a couple of reality TV shows I’m not proud to say I watch but not embarrassed to say I watch either. They include Real Housewives of NJ/NYC, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and Made. The Millionaire Matchmaker is one I don’t even watch in secret, as the host speaks in a pitch only dogs can hear, there are too many “rules” and the majority of the participants (male and female) are generally freak-shows (and not the good kind). However: the show, normally based in LA, is doing a New York edition, with an open call for dudes on Thursday, and as they most presumably looking for a Wall Street type, I could make an exception should one of you get cast! Don’t say no, just say maybe and if you have reservations about appearing on TV, consider convincing your favorite colleague to do it– it’ll be like Fashion Meets Finance, only SO MUCH WORSE/BETTER.
Here’s a little preview at the good time you/we could be in for:
Chances Chris Theo-Harris shows up?
Does my former W2 from 2007 count?
Dick F.
I’d only watch if there’s a promise of someone getting iced on each episode
Not proud to say I’ve watched it against my will, but considering some of the “millionaire” guys they’ve had on the show, is this gonna be the sorta thing they actually verify your income/LNW for or can I be like “Yea I’m in my late 20′s & Work on Wall Street & made a killing pumping up a tech stock I didn’t know jack sh*t about on this show “Wall Street Warriors” a few years back?”
Jean-Paul Sartre was right. Am now doing a Oedipus rex with my left over fork from seamless web.
@5 I’m using a leftover spoon to gag myself over the way you used an oedipus rex reference instead of just saying ‘gouge my eyes out.’
@5 — did you f*ck your mom before grabbing the fork?
If it was Reel Adventures or Lunkertown coming to town I’d say sign me up.

Can I be on it if I can’t bench over 250#?
@9 – only if your fist-pumping skills are up to par
@6 – Noted, Moon Unit.

anal_yst, care to weigh in on @9′s question? we tend to defer to you on all questions related to benchpressing.
Man, you Americans watch some really shitty TV. On top of all that I cannot imagine how anyone with a brain cell puts up with the commercials every couple minutes.
You people need to examine your collective motives.
I can see it now. “I work at a hedge fund. We’ve got about 5 MILLION under management. Yeah, that’s right. American dollars. Am I a millionaire? I don’t like labels, but let’s just say they’re talking about selling my apartment for a cool mill as soon as my lease is up. So yes, I am.”
In Soviet Russia, bench anal_ysts you!
I hate to out myself here, but generally the way the show works is that they have a millionaire lined up and then they bring together a large number of potential suitors, none of which are millionaires. In the case of a male millionaire it’s usually a lot of aspiring actresses in LA. Most likely they have a millionaire babe who lives in new york and they are looking for some men to try and get in her pants.
@14 toxic – what do you mean “you Americans?” I hope YOU realize most of these shows come from across the pond…not sure who that speaks more poorly of – americans for copying or the foreigners for thinking the sh1t up in the first place!
@15 – you realize they are looking for dudes: SEEKING SINGLE MEN! If you’re looking for love with a millionaire…then we want to meet you! We need a lot of men of all sexual orientations, appearing between the ages of mid 20’s- late 40’s to set up with our millionaires.
@Cluzo
Not so sure man, pretty sure that show sets up golddigging women with loser “rich” guys, but wtf do I know.
@7 my first thought re: 5
“No sex until you’re monogamous.” Gah, Patti, you’re suffocating me with your rules!
-Not a gay banker but sounds like one
@anal_yst – since I don’t watch the show, I do not claim to be an authority on their practices; however, as a former analyst, I can cut and paste the hell out of a website…practicing my best “kouwe” technique. I’m pretty sure, they aren’t looking for “millionaire” guys from their post. and look, you even fit the bill: “men of all sexual orientations!” (emphasis mine)
Maybe Cody Willard is available?
@22/cluzo are you saying you S the D?
@Cluzo
That was an excellent Kouwe, I’ll give you that.
