Master Matchmaker Steve Ward is back for another season of Tough Love, and each week, he’ll be giving us an exclusive look at what went down behind the scenes on the series. This week, we talked to Steve about the importance of being honest in an online profile, and how Donna’s emotions were out of hand on the hot seat.

Some of the women really didn’t have a sense of self-awareness during the online dating exercise, what did you think of how they did?

At Master Matchmakers, we have our own private dating service called out LoveLab, so we have a lot of experience with online dating, but what makes our service different is that everyone’s been interviewed and background checked and vetted. But if you look it up, there are statistics that say that eighty percent of people who do online dating lie about age, height, or weight when people are just using traditional dating sites. So you have to expect there to be a level of fabrication and a level of misrepresentation. But at the same time, there is such a thing as going too far, and I think some of the women neglected to mention some information that’s pertinent, like Tiffany, who neglected to mention she has kids. It’s important. But then you have Shalana who mentions in one breath that she’s never had a meaningful relationship and in another that she’s a single mom. That’s only going to leave men wondering. You need to be mindful about what someone’s going to insinuate after they read your profile.

How would you suggest Shalana explain her situation, because it’s true that it will raise eyebrows if you say you’re a single mom but you don’t consider the father meaningful. How can you work around that?

Have you guys thought about doing it in four hour blocks?” she joked. “I’m really pulling for Linda Bollea — formerly Hogan — and her nineteen year old gentleman-partner…they’re not hurting anybody, I’m all for it!” she said. The conversation about Couples Therapy went on for a while, so check out the clip above to hear what Kathy thinks of everyone on the show, and her other favorite shows on the network.
