Ep 5. Xander / Joseph

In season 1 episode 5 of The Millionaire Matchmaker, Patti Stanger takes on two very different clients looking for love. Xander is a 33-year-old software programmer who is tired of dating women who are only interested in his money. He wants to find someone who loves him for who he is, not what he can provide financially. Joseph, on the other hand, is a 45-year-old wine importer who has never been married and is looking for a woman who shares his love of all things wine.

Patti starts by meeting with Xander to get to know him better. They talk about his past relationships and what he is looking for in a partner. Patti quickly realizes that Xander has a problem with being too controlling in his relationships. She tells him that he needs to learn to let go and trust his partner. They discuss ways that Xander can work on this issue and Patti gives him some exercises to practice.

Next, Patti meets with Joseph to discuss his dating history and what he is looking for in a partner. She quickly realizes that Joseph has a tendency to date women who are much younger than he is. Patti tells him that he needs to start looking for women who are closer to his own age and who are more interested in a serious relationship. They talk about his love of wine and Patti suggests that he try dating women who are also in the wine industry.

After meeting with both clients, Patti and her team start the matchmaking process. They set Xander up with three different women who they feel would be a good match for him. They choose women who are strong-willed and independent, hoping that they will be able to handle Xander's controlling tendencies. Patti also sets Joseph up with three women who are closer to his own age and who share his love of wine.

The dates go well for both Xander and Joseph, but there are some bumps in the road. Xander struggles to let go of control during his dates, and one of the women he goes out with is not impressed with his behavior. Joseph has a great time on his dates but struggles to connect with any of the women on a deeper level.

After the dates are over, Patti sits down with both clients to discuss how they went. Xander admits that he had a problem with being too controlling during his dates and says that he is going to work on that issue. Joseph, on the other hand, tells Patti that he did not feel a strong connection with any of the women he went out with.

Despite the less-than-perfect outcome of the dates, Patti decides to set both Xander and Joseph up on second dates. She picks different women for each of them, hoping that they will both find love in the end.

Overall, season 1 episode 5 of The Millionaire Matchmaker is a fun and entertaining look at the world of high-end matchmaking. Patti Stanger is a charismatic and entertaining host who is able to help her clients find love in unique and unexpected ways. If you are a fan of reality TV or are interested in the world of high-end dating, this show is a must-watch.
