Let’s just say that Patti Stanger didn’t hold anything back.

When we found out that Patti Stanger was celebrating 100 episodes of her hit show The Millionaire Matchmaker we knew that she had to come to the BuzzFeed New York headquarters. "What to do with Patti?" we asked, but it was so, so obvious: she needed to share her advice with those of us who needed it. So we set up a booth, painted "The Matchmaker Is In" on it and invited the BuzzFeed editorial staff to pick Patti's brain.

What happened next was pretty much what we expected: Patti got really REAL with anyone who asked for her advice. These few intrepid souls surely knew what they were getting into, but did Patti's blunt (and sometimes crass) advice actually help? Let's find out.

Krystie Yandoli: If I have to make the first move and initiate hanging out with someone or talking to someone, does that generally mean that this person isn't into me?

Patti Stanger: No. But I wouldn't do the first move because that's masculine energy and you want him to be the man. I assume you're on the, what side are you on?

KY: I like men.

PS: There you go. So if you like men then you need a man to be a man; they're hunters and you're gatherers and you've got to stop it.

KY: OK.
