Her rush to marry he who will be gone soon - can we talk about what a shifty, beady-eyed, untrustworthy glob of a guy he is - was to keep her front and center on the show. Ms. Crackerjacks is as close to a narcissist as one can be and she would probably wither and die without the attention from the show. What's his name was good enough to marry to secure her spot for a season or two. She'll be front and center in the next season as everyone reacts to her divorce.

Agree- he is shady and never looks happy. Always looking around at other women.

I assumed Tom was gay.

Yeah, where do they get these guys? At least Harry Dubin has a bit of charisma and smarmy charm, so he is entertaining to watch, but Tom? Ick.

Apparently the UES? Are the pickings that slim and the ratio so small in the 50+ singles scene that mediocre dudes with a few dollars in their pocket get so many womenor were we all punked by a storyline?

PP, are you really saying that a 50 year old single man is "pathetic" if he only lives in an apartment worth 1.5 million?
I agree it doesn't mean that he's rich but - pathetic? Give me a f-big break.

Most men on the UES are busy working for their 2 bedroom apartment and lifestyle. Not sitting at the surrey during the middle of the day. The pickings are truly slim if you're looking for a man who barely works and/or had the time to travel frequently for pleasure.

I know the building he lives in there is no way that his penthouse is only worth 1.5 million.

Ok the "pathetic" comment was mine and I didn't mean it the way it came across. It's not pathetic for regular people but it doesn't match the image he tries to portray of being a super successful business person. A highly successful single businessman in NYC would be able to afford a much bigger and nicer place. $1.5 million is just not that much in NYC.

Not sure where it is myself, but just eyeballing the place and the location, that figure sounds off. 1.5M is the amount floating around on the interwebs, but heck I know people who paid that in Manhattan for an apartment the size of their wrap around terrace with practically a hot plate for a kitchen. It's like saying someone paid $250k for an 8,000 square foot, 6 BR house in Kalorama with a pool and tennis court. Something is off.

And according to Million Dollar Listing New York developers make the penthouse the best and biggest and most expensive apartment in the building - not likely a modest one bedroom apartment.

From a quick search I think I found it and it's worth less than $1.5 million on Zillow. A penthouse with the same terreace. I'm pretty sure posting the address here is not a good idea so I will not do that.

Not necessarily true. We have one in a nice building and it's only a studio. It has a terrace and we bought it years ago for 500k and larger apartments on lower floors were going for $2 million plus.

It's certainly not a lot to be living a jet set lifestyle and day drinking on the UES.
