I love MM but I’m really disappointed the first episode back after this summer is about 9/11. 9/11 is already really sad. I don’t know why the first episode had to have the same guest as before retelling a horrific event. Disappointed. She should have at least released one happy episode and then...Read full review »

My goodness- please create an outline of talking points. Too much random chatter, with speakers talking over each other and interrupting. Pick a theme and address it with clear suggestions and advice.
Lm4byz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/24
I wanted to like this pod and generally agree with some of the advice given. I do think she should stick to dating - there have been a number of random topics lately that are relatable only to the host. Some of the guests seem to just be her friends and/or extremely random. My other qualm is that...Read full review »

For just over 3 years I have followed Matchmaker Maria - I discovered her thru the UUp podcast in 2021 - and have been in a relationship for 2yrs 9months: coincidence? Maybe… but either way I enjoy her unique perspective on dating/relationships & love shared thru the podcast & social...Read full review »

Love love matchmaker Maria’s advice and the variety of guests she has on - the show is even better since she’s been recording in a studio and I enjoy watching it on YouTube !

Maria is like no other- 4th generation matchmaker, warm, smart, very good at matching folks…but she’s also HILARIOUS and progressive and talks about equity and loves elevating queer love. She knows love and dating better than almost everyone and brings on the BEST folks to get into it. SO GOOD.

UPDATE: I left my original review maybe 3 years ago and nothing has changed. Maria had a super interesting guest on today - anxious attachment guy, Chris. Yet we barely got to hear anything he had to say because Maria didn’t shut up the entire episode. Maria, we are begging you, please let your...Read full review »
JLT1984 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/24
The host brings every topic back to herself and talks about the same things- her kids, how she wasn’t attracted to her husband and how much her MIL hates her. Maria has great guests but the interviews are a huge flop. It’s a missed opportunity to learn something new from a professional / author /...Read full review »

I’ve been a long time MMM follower - great content and thought provoking advice. I love the variety of guests she has on the show.

Terrible dating advice, rude and intrusive to guests
Efarz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/08/23
I first heard of Matchmaker Maria on GGE a few years ago and have been following ever since. She’s become my favorite dating advice expert ever since. The advice is very practical, thoughtful and effective. I love the guests of the pod, but esp Louie
SamWilliams97 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/23
I like Marias advice on Insta but on the podcast sometimes she seems to be talking women into sticking with men they clearly aren’t into or their gut is giving them strong signals. Latest guest Melanie - I know it’s not cool to criticize vocal fry but I couldn’t stay with this. If you’re going to...Read full review »

Generally enjoy this podcast, the guests and the info within it but why does Maria keep interrupting her guests? It’s really been grating on me lately. She’s on every week, but her guests have a wealth of info that feels minimized with Maria’s interjections : (
RebeccaML via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/23
Practical dating advice always delivered with humor. Love the 12 date rule. Thanks Maria!
Rox42490 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/23
As a 51-year-old who is navigating the dating apps this podcast is a necessity! Love Maria and her wisdom!
The bee’s knees via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/23
I love the dating advice. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don’t but that’s how it is and everyone is different. My biggest issue is the interruptions. You’ve interrupted literally every guest and sometimes the interruptions move the discussion to another direction while we wanted the guest to...Read full review »
libii81906 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/23
Please stop interrupting your guests Maria. When you do it adds nothing to the conversation and often sounds tone deaf.
day5girl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/23
The episode with Erica is gold! Everyone dating should listen to this!
Fishy189 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/23
I enjoy Maria’s ability to share her advice and opinions, while creating space for guests and collaborators to contribute. Love MM’s straightforward delivery!
Lookitsbrooke486 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/23
Love this podcast, Maria gives great dating advice.
rebeccajennie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/23
Excellent podcast for dating. Varied topics, great guests, really honest AND funny hosting by Maria (I actually love her voice). Was v helpful to me while i was dating - now I live with my new boyfriend!
Pamela Jo D via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/12/23
MM is always a good time and I learn so much from her and her guests! From the green dress theory to Stanley Tucci to much much more, she has expanded my thinking when it comes to dating and other aspects of life.
erin_unpacked via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/23
Maria is generous and kind, but always tells it like it is. I have learned so much from her and her guests. She’s also super entertaining and fun. Such a favorite!
JR Preston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
Maria is the best! She’s an amazing host, she invites such wonderful and knowledgeable guests on, and she asks all the right questions that she knows her listeners need the answers to.
Lanzyy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
Fabulous podcast. An excellent resource for skills, tips, and recommendations for how to find a compatible partner, how to maintain a successful relationship, and much more. Maria and all of her guests bring varying expert perspectives on lots of topics. Highly recommend!
Alpacattack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
I love Maria! She’s fun to listen to, and her advice rings so true.
Martipasc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/23
Love her dating advice and long time listener, but feel the episodes have gotten too political lately. I actually agree with her politics, but I want to listen to dating advice, not political propaganda. Would give 5 stars if it weren’t for that. Love Maria and her bluntness!
Gmc5478 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/23
I love Maria and all her wisdom and curiosity. This podcast is a great showcase of all the things we love about her! I wish, wish, wish that she would be more mindful of not interrupting her guests. There are so many moments in these episodes where I was on the edge of my seat to hear what her...Read full review »

To be fair, I only listened to one episode, Hoteline Edition: Thanksgiving Special with Louie Felix. I came across this podcast and I enjoy listening to dating podcasts and this was a recommended one. The content itself was ok, until it got to a caller who was concerned as she voted differently...Read full review »
hanbanan3111 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/22
The most recent episode was REALLY BAD. For this politician to say that woman should be ok with dating someone who says “i would hope a woman wouldn’t make that choice” and for Maria not to challenge him on it is anti-feminist and harmful to the pro-life movement. You don’t know what you would...Read full review »

Just saying… I wouldn’t be in the happiest most stable relationship of my life if I were to have take her advice. Give yourself the grace she does not give. People aren’t perfect and neither are relationships. Good luck!
imnatthomas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/22
I love this podcast but the audio volume difference between Maria and her guests make a lot of episodes too difficult to listen to.
SBMRW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
I just wanted to quickly say thank you for all your words of wisdom. I recently started dating a guy and was following your 12 date rule, we only made it to 9. But on Monday night he asked me to be his girlfriend and I’m super happy! Your podcasts and IG posts have been so helpful in navigating...Read full review »

Maria and her guests give the BEST advice. Listen to them and you’ll be happier for it.
KFKate via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/22
So much fun to listen to and sooo much valuable knowledge you can apply to your own dating life.
Sassquatch89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/22
The past year had been awful for this podcast. She’s demeaning and belittling to the women that call in with questions. That’s not tough love, she really thinks she is better than them. She doesn’t give her guests a chance to speak. This is terrible
jangjess via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/22
Absolutely love the pod and your straightforward perspective! I have noticed on quite a few episodes that the volume on your (Maria’s) sound is very low compared to your guests or the ads so I have to raise up my volume to hear Maria speaking and then get blown away by the intensity of the...Read full review »

Why was this episode deleted? Maybe because you said, as it related to the UK caste, that Paul would be at the bottom? That was wow for me.
rdoubleu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/22
Maria is smart practical compassionate and funny. She knows her stuff!!
RubyRay100 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/22
I don’t doubt Maria has tremendous matchmaking skills and success. When it comes to what dating experts say, it’s more so chew the meat and spit out the bones. Not everything applies to everyone. At time when interviewing guests she interrupts and brings herself into the equation a lot…talking...Read full review »

Love this podcast! Maria offers helpful practical advice for real life dating situations. I found her on IG months ago (where she posts great dating advice) and just started listening to the podcast- starting with the grief and caregiving episode, which really resonated with me. Will definitely...Read full review »

If I have a critical comment about this podacast, it’s that I wish the podcast was at least an hour or more. I think Maria gives excellent advice grounded in reality. I like hearing the real stories about people who are trying to find a serious relationship. These last years have been difficult...Read full review »

I love listening to matchmaker Maria. Her approach is so straightforward and her advice and tips are incredibly helpful. I have loved her new series the hotline and also when sheInterviews guests. Thanks so much Maria!
Rebecca Traynor via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/16/21
I listened to the episode with Marlo Thomas and her question to her husband - when you do x, what is your message to me? - blew me away. I love how it’s grounded in reciprocity and curiosity. This is definitely a show that I want to keep in my world as I grow my relationship with my partner and...Read full review »
Cher Hale via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/21
I’ve learned so much from listening to Maria’s podcast— she has a 360 approach to dating and doesn’t shy away from important conversations like finances, compromise, dealing with distance, and any of the other challenges you come across when dating/ finding your mate. So grateful to have this...Read full review »
