The man behind the toughness, Steven Ward, is the sort of character that reality TV loves — he’s blunt, quick on his feet and most importantly, divisive. The professional matchmaker, self-proclaimed “dating pathologist” and center of VH1 Tough Love is a walking water-cooler conversation, with one camp subscribing to his methods, another writing him off as a sadistic misogynist and yet another falling somewhere in between.

I just figured that I was going to continue to do what I do in Philly, New York, DC, and eventually try to grow the company and expand it nationwide, but I never really thought that a television show was in the cards.

In it Steven talks about his background, the game of romance and the first episode of VH1 Tough Love.
