Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this voyeuristic matchmaking reality series offers mixed and sometimes troubling messages about using money and material wealth to find love. It also introduces some sexist attitudes about women and dating, and there's some drinking and strong sexual innuendo (including various references to sexual activity and male genitalia).

Sexual Content

Plenty of innuendo, including strong references to sexual activity. Women are expected to dress "sexy" for prospective dates and when attending matchmaking events (though actually having sex during matchmaking dates is a no-no). Frequent discussions about women's breasts and backsides. On one occasion, a man's penis is referred to as a "ding dong danger."

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Audible language includes words like "ass" stronger terms are bleeped. Occasional use of Spanish curse words (like "cojones").

Social Behavior

Stanger promotes her service as a way to find real love, but the show sends the message that money can buy it.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Frequent consumption of alcohol (wine, beer, mixed drinks), though Stanger's rules say two drinks is the max on a date. Stanger claims that her service offers a high that's better than any drug.
