first!

I hope she finds true love…….

TRYA IS WACK!

Tyra should use some sense and stop putting herself out there like that. What’s wrong with her? No sense.

i dont like tyra at all, she seems like she has a naomi type attitude behind the scenes

id wife her, crazy and all!

Poor tyra. I hope she’ll meet someone soon.

Good picture.

she is busy resently. some reported that she had the plastic surgery before,and some even reported that she appeared on the party held by one online dating site called “SearchingM illionaire. com”. for wealthy women and handsome young guys

@ jay, prolly but she seems like she got a lot going on inside her head man. A lot.

She probably has a stuck-up attitude behind closed doors. Look how she acts on ANTM.

She needs a nice black brotha for some good lovin Tyra likes them white boys…eww…don’t know how she does it.

I love Tyra, she’s so awesome…such an intelligent beautiful Black Woman, she makes me proud….I’m sure Black men, and just men in general are intimidated by her success, and her power…she’ll eventually find love…I wish her the best in life…

LOL, that’s a gorgeous cover. Interesting comments, she probably has friends, but if she wants them greeting her at the door when she comes home, get roommates. And maybe if she dates regular guys and expands her dating pool, she just might get that husband and children she desires.

@ Shay, I am the least intimidated by Ms. Banks. That don’t mess with real bruhs ma’am.

@ Just Sit, yes indeed. But she won’t. She already got paper and still complaining. I can see her ending up like Liz Taylor or Michael Jackson.

ok tyra maybe if you were actually GENUINE you wouldn’t have these problems..fix yourself FIRST b4 you tell other people how to live, crazy

LOL @ Bree…I’m so with you on that, I can’t even watch her show…its sooooooo corny and never original…makes my stomach hurt just watching the upcoming attractions for it.

I don’t watch ANTM so I don’t know how she acts I’ve caught her show a few times and she seems alright but the way the media potray her is as some mentalist spinster, she comes across quite insecure even though she really shouldn’t be

I guess people are differant. Granted I have my babies, but I love going home to peace and getting away from other people and their crap. I love my friends to death, but even them I can only take in limited doses. Maybe she should get a dog or sign up for foster care so she can see if she really wants other people in her house or in her life.

Being a successful black woman has it’s downfalls.. You have to worry that a man loves you for you and not for what you can offer him.. You have to worry about friends as well with the same mentality trying to get into the limelight off your success.. Putting your career first means “NO KIDS” you can’t be a great mom and have a full career it is not possible.. So at the end of the day you have to sacrifice which one will be more beneficial to you in the end… Being rich and successful or being a wife and mother…

She is at a point now where she can fall back and create her family because she is successful…

She looks great in that shot

All things said and done, she is a hard working woman. Some things have to be sacrified, and many times it’s your personal intimate relationships.

Also, I think she has been trying so hard, that she loses. She’s lost herself and in return has lost the ability to create deep bonds friends or lovers.

…but I don’t know her…so…

Somtimes women have to sacrifice a social life for a career and she seems like a victim but then again maybe guys are just afraid of the way she acts, but I hope she finds love or least get babies.

Don’t fall for this mess she just wants to look vulnerable to connect with her audience so people won’t continue to look at her like an ex-supermodel since she is trying to establish herself as the next Oprah. I think she gained weight on purpose to seem “normal”

She’s making herself sound desperate. As long as she trust and belives in the Lord, everything will fall into place. (Let the congregation say Amen) And to all the people who thinks just becasue you have money everything else should be ok, its not always like that. Money doesnt equal happiness. And becasue she has money, she has to be EXTRA carful about the men she dates and the people she surrounds herself with.

Hasn’t anyone noticed Rihanna scares those white boys off. They go on a couple dates with her and suck it up then run away. The interracial, inter cultural barriers are WAY too much with that girl. Shes SO glad white men notice her….but they are looking off to some HOT blonde nearby with this wig wearing black girl acting all dreamy over them.

She is lonely too….NEVER see her with a man and don’t think she ever had a steady bf after the fame came.

I feel Tyra, she’s successful and she’s living her dream she just wants to share it with that special someone. It’s already hard for successful sista’s to find a brother that isn’t intimidated by their woman’s success, but add on the supermodel, multi-millionaire title too, that’s a lot for some men to swallow. What’s really sad is how people especially some of you on this board tear her down. I mean damn she’s doing good, she has a foundation for young girls, two successful shows, and a portfolio that makes many women want to do mad sit-ups. Yeah she’s silly, yeah you may not always agree with her, but do you have to, all the time? Show some love, give some props. And for you guys that think a woman doesn’t want you because she has owns a home, drives a nice car and has a nice job you never know what a woman needs in her life, Tyra is a prime example of that. You can have so much going for you, but you want something really simple…love.

@ Weezy… YES! YES! YES!

This girl is gunning for Oprah status, and watching her show its all a big publicity stunt for domination.

Don’t be fooled people, the things that come out of her mouth are perfectly planned!

That said, if she wants a friend to just be at her penthouse drinking champagne & waiting to watch movies and have “girl talk” I am available Mon-Thurs! LOL

WILL SOMEBODY LOVE TYRA SO SHE CAN STOP DEPRESSING ME ?? JEEZ

YALL KNOW HOW ANNOYING SHE IS ON THE SHOW (unless u r 16 with little brains cells) IMAGINE HOW SHE IS WITH A MAN…

Tyra can’t find love because women like this have been conditioned by a european feminist society that taught them men are second class citizen, and as long as they delude them self with the I’m a strong, independent black woman suffering from (ABF) angry black woman syndrome. women like this will always be single. the average woman did not gain a damn thing from feminist movement, all that did was made you angry and drive away your men, now your stuck doing everything by your self. the feminist movement was created by white lesbians who hated men, a lot of whom was sexually molested by their dads. and black women in their mental illness adopted this mentality put out by yt. look at Tyra closely and all you see is someone with major issues. despite being so called successful. no black man in his right mind would put up with her crazy ass and her deluded sense of superiority. I could go on but I digress…

Well said Bree! She looks amazing on this cover though.

Why people can’t see through the BS she spits on a daily basis makes my heart sink.

http://www.whoizjazz.com

Drock you are soooooo right! If I was her man I would be slappin her or me all day long….ps…no mor FLAA OF LUV…PLEEZ for the luv of peanut butter!

Tyra, You don’t have to feel that way. I’m here for you! Give me a call!!!

Tyra looks amazing in this pic. I wish her well in everything. Trying to help out your own is NEVER BAD. No need to hate…. seriously.

Also… Nothing wrong with trying to become the next Oprah. We always complain that we’re not represented enough on TV, but then we hate on black people who try to do something… We really need to support our people.

Let Tyra know my black azz will sit patiently at home while she is out making that money. When she gets in will give her all the attention she requires, me and Mr. Stiffy will make sure her kitty stays purring.

Funny, when the media plays up every man you have a drink with as being your man and when the media makes you think that there are all these poor lonely women, never once do they mention that there are just as many poor lonely men in the world, they just dont look lonely in magazines or talk about it in GQ articles.

@ Lauren..everytime i see the clips on talk soup, [bcuz i cant watch her for more then 3 mins.]..she’s either yelling or making retarded faces trying to relate to everyone because she is just like us..yeah right..

@ Bones..that episode was confused just as Tyra..she pretended like she was cool with being a ‘big’ girl then all of a sudden she wasn’t big, it was ‘the photographer who took the shot at a bad angle’ & she feels america is wrong for wanting us all to be skinny girls and ‘oo embrace yourself’, ‘kiss my fat ass’-then next month she drop 3 sizes..wtf? tyra may just be schizophrenic or bi-polar..she has some serious mental issues

@NubianGoddez

*applause*

All the undercover trickin’ she did and she didnt have a prospect or two? Shes a friggin ex model. That means something is wrong with THAT beetch lol…

Tyra doesnt have a man cause what most women need from a man she gets on her own… A stiff dick is about the most a man can do for a chic like her and thereafter, well he’s pretty much on thin ice. Successful men get women, but the reverse is not true. The price she pays for being self- sufficient and independant is the single life. And although she thinks she wants a man, lawd knows she’s better off alone!!!

@ Ria “I would like a little dick down every now and then.”

~~ Dont be shy!!

Tyra won’t be getting real friends or man anytime soon because:

1. She doesn’t have a true idea about Black people. Anytime she imitates a Black woman she lip pops & neck rolls & pulls the ‘Becky’ when mocking White women. (Lol @ Black woman imitating Black woman)

2. She makes a lot of opinionated judgements. (Tries to pass them off as fact)

3. She needs to shut up.

4. Is self absorbed

5. Thinks she’s fat

6. Thought women urinated & had sex out of the same hole.

7. Is dingy & corny as hell.

8. Is a rabble-rouser, lol.

9. Is emotionally unstable.

10. Is very critical of men to begin with, she says aloof unrealistic ish…how in the hell do you run off Seal? Let’s not forget Chris Webber & several others that she had running for the hills.

I disagree with those saying because shes is self sufficient and independent, that she cannot get a good man. It is quite possible to be this, and have a good family. Its about a balance in life. Im sure there is more to her story than her so called issue. There is always a man that is doing way better than a successful woman (other than Oprah), maybe if she met men on her caliber, there wouldnt be a problem.

I would be Tyra’s K-Fed house husband any day.

Before somebody goes calling me a hater, I tried to watch both of her shows and it just wasn’t happening. At times it’s like watching an emotional train wreck.

She’ll be fine if she edits herself, researches what she says more and stop making every topic or persons issue about herself.

@kai

I’m sure she does…I think V hit a couple of nails on the head there

Tyra is so ridiculous! I wish my only complaint was that I was lonely. That seems like a really easy fix to me.

I don’t watch Tyra

I don’t watch Oprah

I don’t watch Dr. Phil

…no interest….

V i agree with

Tyra makes an ass out out herself everyday

and i also think she makes fun of fat people,

did you see how defensive she got when the papers call her fat, do you see any plus size models on ANTM..and i just hated when she get dress up in a fat suit to se how fat people is been treated.

She has the problem that so many women of color with money have. They want a man of color that has what they have.

They need to change their thinking. As a black man I have no problem with our sisters fating out of the race if it brings them happiness.

Just please don’t date down. By down I do not mean that they need to seek someone with the same material wealth. Tyra will not be able to find many men much less men of color who have her type of money.

Let us not forget, she is in the hundreds of million now.

The reason people like Tyra is because of her imperfections and the willingness to explore those imperfections.

@ Soul Cry – Bet.

Why would she want to know how people with problems are treated? Those show topics are bogus. I think she laughs at the ish while she’s at home waiting to dream about her next calling.

She over-analyzes the models on her show, allowed them to be tormented by Janice Dickinson, strategically selects a show to play up whatever weakness they may have, tries to play head games with people.

*She killed me with the show having audience members display their weight on that t-shirt. At 5’11 150(+/-), well size 8…she aint having no damned problem.

Bsquared, Tyra is not wack! Maybe that’s describes you better. She’s a lovely person. She puts her feeling and thoughts right out there. That terrifies most black men. They are not used to a woman expressing what she needs and desires most. So many of them are afraid they cant give it to her. That is why some flee to white women. Less threatening. Tyra should try to date intelligent European men or white men. Many of them adore women of color and they seem to be more open minded then black men. Most of these black men on your site are losers as far as I’m concerned and most present themselves horribly by their manners or how they present themselves. Seriously, who would bother with them if they did not have money or fame. No one!!! So, Tyra if it’s black men you want, it’s going to be very difficult to find one. Good Luck. And NubbianGoddez…Bravo!!!

@ TX Bred

….I’m telling you, some women look the part and when you get to the root of it they are crazy.

How is she going to function in a relationship obsessing over sleeping with her lacefront on, the infamous chin pimple, her weight….come on!

Some women would love to afford a lacefront.

Have a bump on their chin instead of their top lip or snatch, lol.

…or even to be able to wear a swimsuit w/o being offensive – then with high heels.

Tyra needs a loud “Ho sit down!”

@ richard

Exactly, call me what you want, but if you limit yourself to 10-12% of a population to find someone, you are destined to fail.

I LOVE Black women. But to limit yourself on stuff like this, and then throw a pity party to a magazine or blog, is sad

Let me not be misunderstood, to me she is ridiculously annoying, aloof, fake, corny, loud, bossy, opinionated and all the like… But she’s wealthy, the girl is a powerhouse money making machine. So that is the only factor that determines her success. Her attitude or plastic ass boring show that she uses as just another effing means of self- exposure, is immaterial to her $$~ she’ll get that regardless. My point is, put all that in a package and best believe you will be single!! Tyra doesnt have a submissive bone in her body and add that to the fact that she is paid out the wazoo!! A man cant hold his head up around a chic like her. As much as I cringe to see her dingey ass bobble heading on my tv screen, I love that she is untouchable. Get it shawty!!

Haha and also this support my other point, Black men by and large to not care if black chicks date interracially, check Richards comment for proof.

However the second a black cat hits the scene with pretty young olive skin chick *cough* Kim K *cough* (or white, latina whatever) on his arm, its World War III…

never understood that

@TXbred and Richard

I have no problem with people dating who they choose, regardless of race, religion, or culture.

BUT, I choose to date only black men. Why? That’s where I see love. Just as I would choose a man of my same ideals, I would choose a black man to stand by my side. Some may say that my options are now limited, but disagree.

@TXbred and Richard

One more thing…NUFF BLACK MEN HAVE AN ISSUE WITH BLACK WOMEN DATING OUTSIDE OF THEIR RACE.

95% of my friend base are male, and maybe only 10% could care less.

At least she’s being honest! You have a lot of lonely people out there who are embarassed to admit it. Just goes to show money isn’t everything. You can have it “all” and still be lonely. Adopting a couple children might be a good option for her. I wish her the best.

@ Lauren~ you cant buy intellect!! I’m really surprised that she crossed over from modeling to a TV personality, the chic is classic example of someone who should be seen and not heard!!

@ Sister Cuba Linda…

I kind of agree with you. I don’t think it’s that she’s not submissive. I think it’s her over the top corny attitude.

When she was dating Chris Webber it was stated that he had to constantly tell her to stop talking about their relationship.

I guess she was just excited & happy – still some people aren’t like that. He stayed getting in the ass of the press about it and I guess she didn’t help the situation. Who knows? He had to know how she was though.

All good things come in time Ms. Tyra. Continue to be true to self and everything you desire will come to you.

Tyra is so sad and desperate. Maybe she should have her friend Paris Hilton on her show to make things all better.

@TXbred

They don’t understand that we tell them this out of love.

Like who likes you. If some quasi goofy white boy wants to smell your farts and follow behind you like a puppy dog, hell give him a whiff.

I want my sistas to be HAPPY.

This is why i defend the white, asian, latino etc women who date bleck men.

If you love me, I don’t care where you come from just keep on loving me.

I just have this weakness for them chocholate sistas (sigh) it’s a good theory though.

Haha and also this support my other point, Black men by and large to not care if black chicks date interracially, check Richards comment for proof.

@TXBred Not true. Black men have a huge problem if they see you with a white man, friend or otherwise. They are the worst imho, and experience. And Richards’ comment isn’t proof of anything. Who takes what someone else says as proof?

@Richard, I agree, people like Tyra b/c she isn’t afraid to show her imperfections.

I’ve probably seen 1/2 of two of her shows. TV sucks, so I don’t really watch it. I watched part of her shows online, and she seemed a bit excited!

Whatever MistaO. Stroke your ego.

Elise Neal wore that dress out, she gets the most banging vote.

wonder where she got it from

thats right

I have a nagging suspicion that Tyra is crazy as hell behind closed doors….Hmmmmm

@Richard

Who is that baby flexing in your avi? Too Cute!

@athena Free MJB’s impersonator

@TXBred Not true. Black men have a huge problem if they see you with a white man, friend or otherwise. They are the worst imho, and experience. And Richards’ comment isn’t proof of anything. Who takes what someone else says as proof?

———————————–

Cosign–this chick I knew dated a white guy and they were disrespected everywhere they went-by Black men. Men she knew who never tried to approach her before were suddenly in her face when she was with the white guy.

Baby it aint ego, it’s truth mixed in with a side of swag. I just gotta be honest matters. Sad that so many women out here today are so thirsty and then end up making themselves belive that “i don’t need no man” BS. But we know yall lonely and what’s worse is most women would get (and keep) a man were it not for some of the ole raggity azz attitudes alot of women drag round with them for years then wake up and start acting like real women when they like 47 years late trying to attract a real man.

But that’s some, by no means all women cause Lord knows there are some sisters that completely knock a brothers socks off and they usually the one’s who don’t have these issues. Just ask um’, don’t be afraid, many will share with other women on just how they do and did it.

I like black babies, i used to date on blackgirlsconnect.com, i saw hot black meeting their admirers there. Online dating for free. Great!!!!

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that I TRULY understand how she is feeling and I KNOW there are MANY MANY women, white black brown etc etc that have that feeling from time to time…Now I don’t know if it has anything to do with money, career etc…but there is a time when you feel like your doing ok, you have some of the things you want (career, home, material things) but you want more. I don’t like coming home to an empty house either, so I got a cat..lol And I’m waiting til marriage for the kids… As for the friends…it is hard to keep female friends, ya’ll know what I am talking about!! Sometime you grow apart, sometimes it’s jealousy (most times you don’t even know they’re jealous, they just stop coming around and calling your ass to hang out), and women aren’t too inclined to let a new woman into their circle..So I am sympathetic to what she’s saying 100%!

504 predicts: mo’ hate in ’08 !

WILL SOMEBODY LOVE TYRA SO SHE CAN STOP DEPRESSING ME ?? JEEZ

—————————–

LMAO! I’m glad someone said it. Damn!

@ getyourhandouttamypocket

Sorry – It was supposed to start with “That is my son”

No nothing? Sounds like Tyra needs Jesus.

(takes off Free MJB t-shirt w/crab juice stains)

@ sista momo

you took the words right out of my mouth.

@ Richard~~ “I STILL feel uncomfortable when I see an interacial couple and the person of color is obviously dating down.

As long as they seem equally yoked I don’t care but if I see another FINE sista with a white guy that looks like Mick Jagger on crack or a brother with a super haevy, stringy haired Becky I am gonna SCREAM!!!!!”

MUAH!!!{ I had to kiss you for that!!}

PRTTYBRWNGIRL

Co-sign, unfortunately. We don’t even have to be doing good for us to hate each other for no good reason. I can be out and see the same girl that hated me from high school now…10 yrs later…and she is still rolling her eyes at me. For no reason at all.

(Close) Female friends….if you got more than what you can count on one hand, use the other hand to take the knife out of your back.

@SMDH

Please don’t perpetuate the myth. You NEED a man.

You will NEVER hear a man say he doesn’t need a woman because we know better.

I may not need you to pay my bills but I will go crazy without the love. That “I don’t need a man” mentality is unhealthy and just plaine nutty.

We are herd animals and not meant to be alon.

I really appreciate Tyra for being honest about her feelings and not trying to act as if she’s perfect, because obviously no one is! She’s beautiful, smart, independent, and very hard-working. You have to admire that. A friend of hers said in an interview that Tyra has been through some emotionally/verbally abusive relationships where men just tried to control her and treat her like a trophy. This happens too often where guys say they are attracted to an intelligent, independent woman but once they get into a relationship with her they suddenly want her to be submissive. WTH!?

Tyra is alright with me, and like someone else said I hope she finds the right person.

Richard: Wealthy Women don’t need a man with paper they need some DICK!!! and plenty of it.

hey: No! Women need love not just a piece of meat. even animals can f*ck. there should be more to a relationship than just sex. if that’s all Tyra wanted she could just hire a male prostitute.

@ hey

DICK it was a euphemism for relationship.

@ SMDH Needs are not always material grasshoper.

Our families are not healthy because parents think that they can make it on their own.

There is no weakness in needing each other. The weakness is in not being able to admit it.

Please don’t start me on the money issue. I’m still waiting for these well to do sistas to pay for dinner.

@ Richard:

Again, I maintain that a man is not NEEDED, he is WANTED.. I am not removing the affection aspect I am just saying that men are not needed.. Plenty of sistas still do what they have to do without one, if a man was needed that wouldn’t be possible, now would it?? Now i get that men like to feel needed but thats not always the case with sistas..

And, if I may add myself, I believe alot of this is the black mans fault… If he played the role of the man instead of sistas having to play the role of man, woman, mom, dad and provider then maybe a man would be needed…

im not ready to settle down, but when youre ready to settle down you do NEED a man … but as a strong black woman you shouldnt be defined by him. my two cents

Just like how black men like fairer skin and Long flowing hair…so too do some black women. I am POSITIVE a girl who likes the Paul Walker, Johnny Depp, David Beckham type wont touch a crusty grey-black yukky black dick with the nappy lil curly round it. BE REAL.

Those girls are turning up their nose at you and all your midnight fury. Dark and Blue black men….PLEASE!

@SMDH

You are really looking like a lesbian about now. You may not need THAT man but you need A man. Don’t be the lonely bitter sista tellign everyone “My batteries keep me satisfied”

That belief that you will be ok without love is bogus and poisonous.

I look for life with balance. To strive for an incomplete existence is a form of madness.

Male dominated morality has led women to believe that it’s wrong for them to date multiple men. “She’s a ho” and all that crap.

Do what makes you happy. Either someone will step up or you will continue with a man for this and a man for that ………. btu you will not be alone.

I agree w/ SMDH. A woman does not NEED a man. Would it be nice to have a GOOD one? Yes of course, but women have been living full lives without men for centuries. It is a lie that society perpetuates to force women to settle so that men can control them. Society tells women “You need a man otherwise you are less of a woman”, so women go out and deal with men who otherwise they wouldn’t give the time of day and men knowing this take advantage of them.

Now, I’m not talking about raising children alone, because obviously the more people a child has to nurture them the better. I’m talking about a woman (o like Tyra) by herself living her life and taking care of herself. Food, shelter, water are necessities–not a man.

I am a black woman married to a non black man/non white man and I am absolutely glad I found someone I am compatible with…..we are around the same age and both in different graduate schools and we click.

Black men give us stares but not as much as the SISTAS. Black women scowl at us when they see us for whatever reason. I don’t know what it is.

@ Richard:

I’m looking lie a lesbian because I am smart enough to see that women don’t need men to do what they need to do in life??

Well, slurp slurp because I maintain that men are not needed, they are wanted!! Wiomen still manage to do what they have to without a man on their arm.. Sistas do it all the time!!

And again, I blame the shiftless black man for this… If you were the men youweresupposed to be and did yoru part, then you may be needed!!

Ha. Funny reading some of the mentalities dripping through these statements. Reading some strips back any mystery as to why so many children today are in such bad shape.

Some women actually think they don’t need a man?!? Well I’d agree with this only in as much as so long as she is and remains childless. Yes, some children are raised in single mother households and go on to be successful and well adjusted, but the proof is in the pudding. The overwhelming majority growing up in these environments do not fare well in life. Don’t belive me? Go to your local jail or prison. In college we did a study of prisons around the country and found that over 80 percent of men in prisons (age range 17 – 35) were raised in single mother households.

Again, man needs to quit fooling with God’s plan. Thinking we can do it better. You can research studies out the yin yang and find that inveriably they come back to the fact that children (both male and female) do much better in general when raised by BOTH parents.

Oh and all this “runnin” around before marriage, ladies be careful. No real man in his right mind wants to get with a woman who has too many miles on her. Don’t get mad, it’s just a fact and a bit of advice that many females today just don’t get at home only to find out later in life once it’s too late.

@ Amen Richard:

Are you really going to play the multiple identity game Richard?? Even if I believed this was a sista I find it very hard to believe that sistas are grilling you harder then brothas are for being with a non black man?? I have NEVER heard that in my entire life.. And beyond that if you need a man then you must not be able to do anything for yourself, and that make you sorry!!!

I am not Richard….I am not in your argument. There are other ppl on this DAMN board besides the 2 of u.

@ TXBRED:

Again ,yo uare mixing up NEED with WANT!!! I may want a man but I do not need him.. With or without a man I still have to go to work everyday. I still have to pay my bills. I still have to put clothes on my back and food in my stomach.. And all of that gets done whether there is a man in my bed or not!

Sex can be gotten anywhere by any dick!! That isn’t needing a man.. Thats wanting sex!!

Again, men are not NEEDED.. They are WANTED!!!

I would LOVE for some black women to tell me why alll the cold stares when my husband and I encounter one of them. You dont date interracially so you’ve never been presented with it.

I have. Maybe OTHER ppl on here can enlighten me. You can continue your argument with Richard

@ TXBRED:

Again ,you are mixing up NEED with WANT!!! I may want a man but I do not need him.. With or without a man I still have to go to work everyday. I still have to pay my bills.

Sex can be gotten anywhere by any dick!! That isn’t needing a man.. Thats wanting sex!!

Again, men are not NEEDED.. They are WANTED!!!

you can’t be a great mom and have a full career it is not possible..

this is not true at all, and one hell of a generalization. I see black women being quite succesful, and are able to help raise some of the most well adjusted children you would ever want to meet. To say that it is not possible speaks to the fact that maybe it is something you may not have seen in your personal sphere, but it does indeed exist and in many cases, flourishes. It can be done, to the queens reading this please remember that with a good help meet(spouse) all of the above can be attained. The sky is the limit, dont limit yourself down here on earth. Peace

@ MistaO:

“Yes, some children are raised in single mother households and go on to be successful and well adjusted, but the proof is in the pudding.

Again, your mixing up the needs.. Its the CHILD that needs the father.. Its the CHILD that needs the man. Its not about the mother.. Its about the man doing his part as the father and being there FOR THE CHILD!! Its the CHILD that is in need..

That’s why so many situations where parents split up blow up and go awry. Because the parents are so busy trying to spite and create issues for each other that they forget about the true victim and the one who really needs them… If these parents put their CHILDREN first instead of trying to hurt one another then these babies wouldn’t suffer so much..

So again, this needing a man arguement is falling on deaf ears…

@ mista o

Oh and all this “runnin” around before marriage, ladies be careful. No real man in his right mind wants to get with a woman who has too many miles on her. Don’t get mad, it’s just a fact and a bit of advice that many females today just don’t get at home only to find out later in life once it’s too late.

Exactly! Look at the double standard. Same old mysogynistic patriarchal bull*, which teaches men that women are for their pleasure and possession. “Miles on her”? What are women to you, cars!? You want her to need you so that you can control her. A man will sleep with over 20 partners and have the nerve to look down on a woman that’s had 2. If it’s wrong for her it should be wrong for him too–is my point.

Oh yes, absolutely it’s a double standard. And in my experience I’ve found it to be quite true. Many females who engage in promiscous behavior hate to hear it, but it’s the truth.

Most men, do not want to marry a woman who they find to have been promiscous. It might not be right or fair but it’s a fact. And many women who struggle against this only end up learning the cold hard realities of it once they are up in age and alone. Seriously, some of you younger chicks need to seek out these old heads out here and talk to them, ask them why they like 49 and 50 years old up in the club in a mini skirt trying to compete with some 20 year olds. Just ask um and maybe if their wasn’t so much hate amongst women, more women would be honest with younger one’s and steer them away from this hoeism that many have seemed to embrace.

Fool yourself all you want, but trust me, most men are smart enough to sniff out a hoe, and once you busted, you busted. So don’t get disgusted when you learn the truth about how men really view the chick at the bar who aint got no draws on and takes a different dude home (or to the parking lot) each week. Life is cold and hard and if you falling for this non-sense you’ll learn soon enough.

I feel bad for her. I can imagine its hard because so many men are after her for her money and to say they “bagged” her and then a lot of men would like her but her success and money intimidates him. Women with financial success are emasculating to some men; but only the weak ones. I hope she finds someone who can put up with her non-stop mouth.

There is no weakness in needing each other. The weakness is in not being able to admit it.

These are beautiful words brother Richard..

@SMDH

I have been on this site a while. y words are REASONABLE!!! I don’t need to post multiple names and have never done so.

Sorry, wrong guy. Is it so hard to believe that NO ONE agrees with you.

Gently walk to the mirror and ask yourself tearfully “Am I crazy” “of course you are” the mirror will reply. If not crazy definitely unhealthy.

men have been successful drug dealers but 99% of them go to prison because it does not work!

My point was a bit different than AMEN Richard’s. I can’t speak to interacial dating because as i have admitted in one of my earlier posts, I have a weakness for those dark skinned sistas (Blue Black if possible).

Caveat to my dating advice – Women have physical weaknesses that make dating too many men a problem.

it’s just easier for women to catch diseases because of your biological makeup.

Women also have to be able to discern who is the father. The only reason a man will take care of your kid is because he believes you are a one woman man….otherewise don’t be hurt when he asks for that DNA test.

If you gonna be pimpin, you gotta know the game ain’t for the weak of heart.

MistaO, what are you talking about?

Who here is promoting promiscuity specifically among women? Who? Not me. Fall back!

Don’t make assumptions about me. I actually believe in abstinence until marriage, but you wouldn’t know that with all your assumptions. I meant what I said when I said that a woman does not NEED a man. STOP assuming that just because a woman has a enough intelligence and independence to realize this that she is promiscuous, fat, ugly, or a lesbian (all very common and very stupid stereotypes).

Tyra Looks GREAT on this cover. She deserves a good man who just lOVES all her silly!

Good Luck Ty-Ty

@PRTTYBRWNGIRL

Hey, Ease up. Don’t lump me with anyone. I am the one who encourages our sistas to date and not just one man.

Read my posts

We are encourageing people to seek companionship not to be doormats. If you have been abused by a man please blame your CHOICE of man and THAT man.

I don’t blame all women for the women that have treated me badly.

i think the problem is that the older mister belives that women are sleeping with EVERY man they date.

@ richard

i apology baby… i got tunnel vision and for a minute you sounded like you was trying to cosign

Agreed, *Healthy* companionship is great. I don’t think anyone in their right mind would discourage it, but come on there is a big difference between enouraging companionship as part of having a full life and stating that it is required to have a full life–which is basically the message behind “every woman NEEDS a man”.

i believe that women can date but there is a big difference between dating and by the time you are 23 you can use both hands to count your sexual partners.the body is a temple and should be treated as such by both sexes,that means being selective and patient.HOES dont have any type of discression,and that causes them to behave as such

The issue isn’t “WANT OR NEED”, it’s whether if one can lead a life without being so emotionally co-dependant.

MAN +WOMAN +CHILD=HOUSEHOLD

@ Hey

I’m bored to.

Let’s do what PaigeyWaigey **I got a Jones in my Bones** BONES #1 Stunna!! said

and ..get laid and smoke some trees….. and a bottle of 1738.

Tyra is a little annoying/self serving some times. But she is very career minded and I think that is very intimidating to men…specially in her world ..If she is more bankable and famous…she will see a lot of lonely days.

Unless she finds a real confident man ,,,sadly if she wants to get married he may not be black..cause most of them ( with cash and fame in entertaiment ) are going for white women…so she might have to do a halle and GO FOR SOMETHING NEW…DONT HATE ME HATE THE GAME! ( I SUPPORT BLACK LOVE)BUT IF YOUR OPTIONS ARE LIMITED TO NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN, what’s a girl to do!

Well lets see. You think that society is responsible for making women feel that they need a man? Well actually the continued procreation of our species could not have been possible if we didn’t need each other. The male and female had to come together to create life and to continue life. As a result evolutionary biology has in fact created a mutual need in both men and women for each other. As others have said,this is not something that one should feel is a sign of weakness and have to deny or pretend. I think a case could be made that rather than being made to feel they need men, actually modern society to a great extent makes women feel they don’t need men. To deny needing men is to achieve status as a feminist and a modern independent woman. On the other hand to admit to needing men is to suffer condemnation as a woman lacking independence. We have a society today as exemplified by certain posters here, in which it is very popoular to engage in male bahsing and man hating and as a result it is difficult to maintain that the same society that is telling women to be feminists and to be independent, is also telling them they need men. As previously stated, the need of the sexes for each other is not caused by society but by the biological need we have to procreate. I’m sure you realize that in human evolution there was no television or magazines telling society what was or wasn’t “needed.” It was a matter of human instinct for survival. Those same instincts still exist within us. There are many extremely different cultures all over the world that are totally distinct from each, yet what they have in common is the need of men and women for each other. Is this just a coincidence or does it indicate a natural human need for each other and not something caused by society? We also see the same mutual need between the sexes in other animal species, so the idea that this is something caused by “society” becomes ridiculous.

In re the expressed hatred of men: is this anti-male bigotry something you need or just something you want?

she’s on a different level than 90% of the population both literally and figuratively…so for that reason it will be hard for her to connect with people on any level

fact

Tyra looks stunning on this cover. I’m wondering why my issue didn’t arrive in the mail yet?

tyra seems like a beautiful, intelligent person…but i saw alicia keys on her shows a while back and she seemed needy like “i like you! let’s be best friends!!” and alicia was like “okaaay…” perhaps she doesn’t have a lot of confidence despite her success…who knows. love her show though! she’s so goofy…

NubianGoddez-

That’s the dumbest sh*t I’ve read in a long time, thank you.

The feminist movement was the realization that women have value outside of what they are told to be and act. Every man benefits from a woman who has healthy sense of self worth and education. It appears to me that Tyra doesn’t have a man because she has this “me me” complex and I also wouldn’t put her as the face of feminism either..hardly.

@ PRTTYBRWNGIRL

I totally feel you on the women hating on women thing. It’s so sad. I wonder where it came from…

lets be real, do anyone really think that tyra is lonely, this is a woman who for most of her life , has grace the covers of magazines, came in contact with all types of individuals of different backgrounds, even at the present time she is surrounded by numerous people, whether directly or indirectly. I believe, tyra a sagitarius like myself, enjoys her solitude, enjoys her own company, she is creative, and at times she needs her solitude in order to create. It is true that there are times, when one will desire a companion, for whatever reason, but in the interim this is sometimes a ardous task to attain, because people play too much games, and for a career minded individual like tyra, i believe she does not have the time, energy, zeal and patience for the games that some men play. There is an old saying, that if you are miserable, it is better to be miserable by yourself, than to allow some-one to come into your life and add more misery.
