I thought women had perfected dating , romance , marriage etc -- but this is hilarious:

mother-daughter on a night out; 150 new dates in a year!!! And we say arranged marriage and Bollywood dances are funny - as per the YouTube video posted below

 On "Confessions of a Matchmaker,"cameras capture Patti in action as she offers advice to Brenda, a 46-year-old single woman who loves to party. To help Brenda find a love match, Patti doesn't hold back.
 "It's crazy the way you party out there at 46 years old," she tells Brenda. "You go out, and you go after men that are, you know, almost untouchable. It's like delusional."
 Brenda says she goes to the same bars as her 21-year-old daughter because she's alone, but Patti sees it differently. "It's because you do that you are alone," she says. "One of the most unattractive things to see in a club is this 50-year-old woman acting up like she's 30. It's ridiculous. It's embarrassing."
 By drinking and hitting on guys half her age, Patti says Brenda's sending the wrong message to men. "You offer this energy that says, 'I don't want love. I don't need love. I'm content. I'm having fun,'" she says. "So you get the men that offer the same thing in return."
 Brenda says Patti's impressions were very hard to hear. "I was mad," she says. "And I was embarrassed."
 During Brenda's matchmaking session, she says one observation really hit a nerve. "[Patti said] that everybody could see my desperation," Brenda says. "And I didn't think so. I thought it was cute and funny& it wasn't cute."
 Instead of setting her up with eligible bachelors, this matchmaker prescribed some alone time. "Patti is the one who asked me not to date for at least six months. A matchmaker asked me not to date!" Brenda says. "She said, 'Concentrate on your education, go out with friends and stop looking.'"
 After taking Patti's advice, Brenda says she started to relax, and her life improved. "I stopped going to places where I ran into my daughter and her friends," she says. "Everything just got calm and so much better."
 Like many women, Allison, a 35-year-old chef who loves sports, can't understand why she's still single. "I'm cute. I'm outgoing. This should be a no-brainer," she wrote in a letter to "he Oprah Show."
 In one year, Allison says she went on 150 first dates but never got asked out on a second date. "It was almost like going on 150 job interviews," she says.
 After hearing about Allison, Patti teamed up with local matchmakers to set her up with two eligible bachelors to see what's really going on.
