- You think your daughter's single
because she's not taking my advice.
Tell me what you think she's doing wrong.
- Well, Steve,
first of all I brought her your book,
"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man."
Sent it to her,
and I started thinking that she's taking it too seriously.
You know, she's asking some of those serious questions
right off the bat at a date.
And then she tends to, if she sees somebody,
she'll go straight over to them,
give them her business card.
And I said, "You know, men are like hunters.
You know, they like to do the chase.
You need to back it up a little bit,
and let them come to you."
- Oh,
(audience applauds)
You told her that.
- I'm old school, Steve.
(Erin chuckles)
- You didn't believe that when she told you that.
- Of course, I love my mom,
and I'm gonna listen to the advice that she gives.
But you know, there was a time where I was a workaholic.
I was working all the time, and I wasn't going out.
And that's not the way for meeting people.
So my really good friend and I started making a pact
to kind of go out more.
And so for me, I feel like as women,
"Yes we wanna be chased."
And I agree with her on that.
But there's times where a smile, a hello.
Sometimes you will walk up to a guy,
and you'll say, "Have you ever been here before?"
You know, and then that's what sparks up the conversation.
- Yeah - But when I tell my mom that,
she's like, "You're doing too much. You're too aggressive."
But it's like women for ages
have been really choosing the men.
But we do it in a discreet way
where men think they're making the first move.
But really it's like, I chose you.
I just put myself next to you,
so that way when you turn around it's like,
"Oh, there she is."
- Can I ask you a question?
- Yes.
- [Steve] Are you single?
- Yes. (chuckles)
- So what you've been doing so far hasn't really worked.
- No, I'll admit it hasn't worked.
- Yeah. So there's an old saying,
"If you keep doing what you've been doing,
you gonna keep getting what you've been getting."
That's a true saying.
- Okay, I can agree with that
- So I'm here at the request of your mom
to see if we can just take a little different approach.
Let Uncle Steve just possibly look at it a different way.
Now let me ask you this.
What are you looking for in a man?
- Okay, I want somebody who's definitely a man of God.
I want somebody who's driven and career-oriented.
A family, family's obviously important cause I love my mama.
And so I want somebody who also wants to start a family.
I'm kind of a nerd, so I like Marvel.
Batman's my favorite, right? Come on!
(audience claps)
Also, I need somebody who is a romantic
because there are times where I chose somebody
and that wasn't on the list,
and I didn't really feel
like I was being treated like a queen.
So at the end, I used to only look at looks
'cause I do like abs, and I do like somebody's in fitness.
- [Steve] You like what?
- Abs
- Oh, abs
- Uh huh. (audience laughs)
Abs. Yeah, you got some abs I can see.
- Oh, I got 'em, but you gotta dig around for them.
(audience laughs and applauds)
- Yeah, so it's so funny because my mom watches your show
and she saw Rashad Jennings.
Does anyone know Rashad Jennings?
Well anyways...
Yeah, there he is.
(audience cheers)
So basically that's my list right there.
(audience laughs)
You feel me, who else likes that?
(audience applauds and cheers)
- All right, well, this is simple.
- [Erin] Okay
- I know your type,
but I think you're gonna have to broaden it a little bit.
Looks is not everything.
Of course, you wanna be attracted to a person,
so I'm not crazy.
Maybe he don't have abs 'cause he working.
(Erin laughs)
- Right?
- Okay, I can do like a little pooch, yeah.
- You want some abs or you want some income?
(audience cheers)
- There you go.
Okay, I talk to that.
I can talk to that.
- All right, here's what we're gonna do.
When we come back, I'm gonna introduce Erin
to three incredible bachelors that I've selected.
- Yes.
(Erin and audience applauds and cheers)
Woo, okay.
- Okay, you clapping? - Yeah.
- Here's the deal. - Okay.
- Your mom, Lynnette, will make the decision.
(audience applauds and cheers)
- Okay, we're on the same team.
We've gotta be on one court.
- No, no, no.
You're going out with the man that your mom picks.
- Jesus, okay
- I gave Erin a list of questions.
These questions really get to the crux of the matter
to give you a chance to know a man.
So gentlemen, please introduce yourself to Erin and her mom.
- Hello, my name is Branden Collinsworth.
I'm a human performance coach, yoga teacher, humanitarian.
- [Erin] Okay, yeah.
- [Steve] How old are you?
- And I'm 33.
- [Steve] 33. - [Erin] 33, okay.
- Hi, Rex Tercero, 37.
I'm a director for a digital ad tech firm.
- [Erin] Oh cool, okay.
(audience applauds)
- How you doing?
How you doing, ma'am?
My name's Phillip Brown.
I'm 29 years old.
I'm former professional basketball player over in France.
And now I work for the Los Angeles Clippers.
- [Erin] Okay
(Erin and audience applauds)
- Well, Erin, let me just tell you,
all these dudes got six packs.
- You did a good job Uncle Steve, so just looking.
(audience cheers and applauds)
But why don't we start off with this question.
We'll start with you Branden.
What is the most important quality, besides physical,
that you look for in a woman?
- There's a term that goes sapiosexual.
It means I'm very turned on by intellect.
- [Erin] Okay, all right.
- [Steve] Well, what's the saying?
- [Branden] Sapiosexual
- Sapiosexual - Yes
- Man, I didn't know what the hell you said.
(audience laughs)
- Let's go down the line.
Rex, what about you?
- I would just say ambitions is a big thing for me.
I feel like I'm just driven.
I'm a driven guy, so I'm kind looking
for someone that has that same drive
and is just always constantly looking to better themselves.
- I'm looking for somebody that's motherly.
And I don't mean just for me,
but I mean for my future offspring as well.
I want somebody that I feel proud
is raising my kids along with me,
so that's very important for me.
(audience applauds)
- Now Miss Lynnette, what are you thinking right now?
- Well, you've picked three great candidates here,
and I think each one of them has something
that Erin would be interested in.
How are you with your family?
- [Steve] Brandon?
- So I met my father for the first time at 27-years-old.
- [Erin] Wow
- [Branden] And he's one of my best friends at the moment.
My mom is my rock.
She was a single parent.
She raised me, although we grew up very poor.
She taught me what love was,
and how love transcends pretty much everything.
So-
(audience applauds)
- [Steve] Rex
- You know, some families are like,
"Oh, I tell my mom's my best friend,
and my sister's my best friend."
Unfortunately, that's not the situation with my family.
It's one of those that we love each other.
I think it's just we grew up,
me and my sister always arguing,
but at the end of the day,
before my dad passed, he always said,
"Hey, it's important you guys take care of each other."
And I know she loves me, and I love her.
It's just one of those things we don't say like,
"I love you" on the phone,
but it's known and we love each other.
(audience applauds)
- [Steve] Phillip
- And for me, I grew up with both parents in the household.
Like I said, I was fortunate enough to live in Europe
for a big part of my life.
So I was born in Germany.
My dad was in the military,
so I had that strict household.
My mother, she's an angel, that's my everything.
Me and her are best friends to this day.
We talk every day.
(audience applauds)
I wanna grow a family
and looking forward to having some kids.
- All right, now here's what I think.
This just comes down to one thing now.
It's about women's intuition at this point.
Your intuition says something to you.
Your intuition says something to mom.
Mom, who is it gonna be?
Which bachelor would you like your daughter to go on a date?
- I trust you, Mama, go ahead.
- I'm leaning toward Rex.
- That's it, Rex, come on over.
(audience applauds)
- Let me ask you a question, Lynnette.
What was it that made you go towards Rex?
- I dunno, there's just a sincerity about him.
I have a feeling that he would take good care of her,
and that's all I really want
is somebody to really take good care of my daughter.
(audience applauds)
- Well... - Thanks, mom.
- All right, so just remember

We'll be right back.
