On Happy Hour with Kim and Ash, the hosts welcome Katy Clark, a luxury matchmaker at Cinq (cinq.com) who shares how she entered matchmaking after becoming a single mom and dating through multiple databases. Katy explains that great matchmaking relies on intuition, reading people, recruiting, and delivering tough feedback, and she discusses common client issues, including deal breakers and spotting “gold diggers.” She outlines what high-quality men look for—fit, fun, feminine, and kind—plus how labels can become premature red flags and why asking meaningful questions early matters. The conversation covers dating apps with her 80/20 rule, coaching clients to improve photos and presentation, and first-date guidance: men should lead with a plan, dress well, and pay; women should be soft, clear about interest, and use a three-date rule. Katy also addresses “boss babe” dating dynamics, age preferences, SoCal dating culture, and the value of a personal “glow up,” then closes with encouragement to stay steadfast, ask friends for introductions, and be open to flexibility and moving. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:17 How She Became a Matchmaker 03:02 Cinq and Matchmaking Skills 04:01 Date Feedback and Dealbreakers 08:55 What Men Want Today 10:27 Red Flags and First Date Questions 11:32 Sponsor Break 12:30 Dating Apps and the 80/20 Rule 14:32 Coaching and Makeover Truths 16:47 First Date Tips for Success 17:16 Date Night Style Tips 17:57 Thoughtful First Date Moves 18:28 Ladies First Date Mindset 19:09 Three Date Rule Basics 20:14 Texting and Communication Rules 21:56 Why She Avoids Female Clients 22:55 Boss Babe Dating Reality 25:14 Age Gaps and SoCal Dating 27:01 Dealbreakers and Match Limits 29:02 Glow Up Without Losing You 31:38 Stay Steadfast in Dating 32:32 Cheers and Wrap Up Connect with Katy: Dating with Katy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/datingwithkaty/ Cinqe Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinqe_/ Connect with Kim & Ash: Ash Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyjacobstv/ Kim Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimtaggartlocker/ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/happyhourwithkimandash/ Fieldswell Studios Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fieldswellstudios/
