Rihanna and Her 20 Guy Friends
Posted by Bossip Staff
Rihanna chats about the difference between male friends and female friends:
“I have three girlfriends and about 20 guy friends. I love listening to guy talk because I learn a lot. Here’s the key – you can’t lower your standards for a guy because he won’t respect you and he’ll tell his friends. You always have to stick up for yourself and speak your mind.”
What is this, a damn after-school special? Yeah she has to have at least one girlfriend, because ain’t no nucca going be walking around carrying a little ass dog for you.

hello
Hello darkness
She is just seeking for attention. What would she talk to guys about?
I’m with her. For the most part guys are a lot more fun to hand out with and it really does give you insight to how they think about women. One of my homies once told me he would never even date a woman he met at the club let alone marry her. As a result for the past 15 years I have been shaking my head at all the pretty girls at the club that be trying their hardest to get a man out of a pack of dogs.
Chris B is getting sexier the more I see him. Is it just me?
what the hell is she wearing? cris like “how am i gonna pull that short ***** hair when i’m hitting it from the back tonight? where you at in life ho!” lmao
I love how Rihanna acts like she been on this earth so long and can share advise to others!!!!!
Peace to the women who do have short hair though, i’m not mad at cha. just get it wet, keep it there, you deserve it, hello
and thats why she has a serious boyfriend
Kimy
Chris B is getting sexier the more I see him. Is it just me?
*****************************************************
He’s actually getting uglier to me.
You know what.
I’m a dude/
and I agree with Rihanna.
Sister’s need to know their worth.
And brother’s we got to know,
that we have a standard to keep up.
She’s just saying what most of us have realized,
but not enough of us.
haha, by the way. i’m 18, so,
youmight think about me, the same as u thought about her.
that i’m too young to know anything.
Sorry -I took my niece to his concert and I think I had a better time than she did. That lil boy is sexy as hell.
Did her male friends explain that you will not be respected if you are publicly going after another woman’s man especially when the couple is high profile power couple?
@ Sarafina
Yeah you know what I mean. Chris is sexy!
I can totally relate to rhianna…Im a guy and I have very few male “*****ociates”…due to the fact of how slimy men can be…I prefer having more female friends
How is this ***** news? I can’t be friends with a female. Imo always want to hit any female(good looking) that is an *****ociate or whatever of mine. I also think that dudes that do have quite a few female friends that ain’t players is on the gay side.
Well she is right. U can’t lower your standards and you can not allow them run over you!
LMAO, what a trip. What and it took her a conversation with a guy to realise that. Tell me something new im gonna have to ‘Next!’ that one
………………………….
UK in the house x lovin it!!
I told ya’ll he was hittin’ that!!!
Rihanna is what, 20yrs old. Um, you don’t know ***** yet about the world yet so please don’t give no more advice miss!
Wow IGNORANCE IS BLISS… everytime a man has female friends he has to be gay
Hey Bossip! What’s the latest with TI??? Isn’t he supposed to be going to court soon?
There’s something to be said about women who don’t get along with other women.
I’ve found that those are the girls who get jealous easily, can’t relate to other women for whatever reason, and need a lot of attention from guys. Most of the time, they have serious men issues and even bigger women issues. They say that they don’t hang with women because women are catty and superficial, but if you look at them, they’re the cattiest ones of all!
Just sayin’.
What kinda of guys is she talking to?
She’s not that smart.
Who can blame her for only having a few girlfriends. Women are too *****y to have more than 3 in your circle.
I definitely prefer to have men as friends than women. Women can be catty, jealous and trifling. Don’t have a good man around them….then they’ll really act up….
I love how friends is spelled lol
20 guy friends= 20 guys that wanna smash!! Period
I HAVE A HANDFUL OF FEMALE FRIENDS BUT MOSTLY GUY FRIENDS. B*TCHES AIN’T SHYT AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY…
Finally a post about my girl Rhianna! She is so beautiful and educated as well. She should write a book to educate some of the Beyawnce Stans!
Oh shut the ***** up bossip.
Whats up with the *****ing typo- slack!
Well it’s good that she is saying this because too many gurls cant figure this out for themselves- the younger generation are getting slacker. She has already shown she is on a different level like Alicia
Take note hooooes
Good for you Rih
As much ***** as people talk about Rihanna she was actually right and made sense lol
She only has male friends because they are just want to have sex with her. If they play the “friend card” long enough it might happen.Then she will see who her real friends are.
I like having Guy friends..also! I knew that she had a brain..inside her 10 head! That is good to hear! SHE STILL DON’T HAVE ***** ON THE REAL DIVA’S!
Actually there is nothing wrong with having male friends. You get to understand men more better that way with beign around them. I have more male friends and to tell you the truth it’s cool and drama free. However hanging with the girls can be fun too but girls worry too much acbout trivial things. Also from basic observation women are more harder on each other than men. We always blame for demeaning us but look at the things we say about each other?
CRIS
THAT IS TRUE ALSO! BECAUSE HALF OF THOSE 20 GUYS ARE GOING TO EDVENTUALLY COME TO HER..WANTING TO HAVE SEX..AND IF SHE IS HUMAN..WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT
SHE WILL BANG 15 OF THEM..SHE LOOKS LIKE A W*****! 
@ Andie, excellent post.
@ Marlo…. my thoughts too bruh.
I want to know how do people know that Rihanna is a w*****? is there some photos floating around of her giving head? If so was it Jay? Give to Bossip of you have some so they can have something to talk about lol
She didn’t say anything. You don’t have to have a bunch of guy friends to know what she stated.
I always hear females talking about how they don’t have a lot of female friends yet they are always hanging around a bunch of females. Newsflash: Men and women act like *****es. All that talk about women are this and that compared to men is just a bunch of hype.
I agree with Andie.
“you can’t lower your standards for a guy because he won’t respect you and he’ll tell his friends. You always have to stick up for yourself and speak your mind.”
You don’t have to have a guy friend to understand that. You don’t lower your standards for any damn body lol
It’s easier for them to *****ume she is nasty like them then to comprehend a different kind of mentality that will show just how basic they are in the big scheme of things.
Do you have to ***** everything?
If yes then you would not get how she could have male friends!
She is not stupid like ya’ll she wont fool for their tricks even if they do try. There is much you could learn from her.
I agree with Andie. The females that always say they don’t get along with other females or only have a handful of female friends are usually the ones that are hardest to get along with. They just try justify themselves by saying “it’s other women’s fault.” Get the ***** outta here! I have just as many female friends as guy friends, and I can honestly say that men can be just as *****y, catty and jealous as women. They just don’t wear those emotions on their sleeves like a lot of women do. So anytime I hear a woman say she has waaaayyyy more guy friends than female friends, she’s obviously craving some much needed attention from men to satisfy something, most likely her ego.
Rhianna loves attention: just like that dumb ***** Ana Paula AKA The ONe and lord knows what else she post as on here as! with her RICH AZZ!!! LMBAO!
Women are jealous creature admiration is rarely used!
Especially in america- damn you’ll are some crazy, misguided, deluded, self righteous, ignorant arrogant, shallow & racist people.
And for of you that are not- you are a miracle in your society- you must think for yourselves and stay opened
All celebs have an ego! So attention is always good and gets them paid so whats your point
Ok! what wrong with her saying “You can’t lower your standards for a guy because he won’t respect you” that true some women need to have more respect for them self. that Good advise I don’t think it should matter if you are young are old stand up for you self don’t let NO! guy talk down to you! that what I teach My Little girl.Rihanna that Good it advise!!!!!!!!!!!
did she literally say: here’s the key?
lmao
@ Yes Yes Y’all
You are soooooooo right
Good Post Andie and Soulwoman
She’s right…it’s better to have more guy friends than girlfriends, but I think we’re still forgetting she is young…that little tidbit of info she “dropped” in that comment might have been a somewhat new revelation for her. Oh well.
@KZZ
You must work in a rich area for Burger King to allow you to use the company internet during your lunch break! “You want fries with that?” Sit down ***** and stop hatin on a real hustler
Rihanna uses her female friends as doormats, They have to hold her shopping bags, hold her dog etc. as if they her messengers. When you see her out with her guy friends they’re always up front and centre with her, with her female friends they always behind her.
@Ana
How is Rihanna educated when it is not known if she in fact finished high school? She did get a record deal when she was 16.
it seems jay-z is giving rihanna some good advice about not lowering your standards.
She makes perfect sense. Respect yourself ladies. She’s pretty articulate for her young age. Doesn’t clutter her statements with “Um”, “yeah, and “I feel so blessed” like some other popular singer out there.
YAWN. I’m sorry but it seems to me like Rihyawna is irrelevant now. The Grammy’s are over now and she only won 1 grammy just like Ashanti, Ciara, and all the other no talents so I don’t care about her or anything she says because she’s boring as hell and not doing anything important. This girl obviously needs to be back in school because she says the dumbest stuff. How she gon give somebody advice? ***** please. She probably can only give advice on how to ***** for tracks even though you can’t sing because that’s all she’s known for. Next!
It good advice that parents should tell their daughters.
Great advise Riri. I competely agree with you.
so true b/c i have lots of homies and i hear every detail of what they do to women sexually…(so don’t think they don’t tell what U did to them)…and what’s so funny most of them noticed that when i go out with them, they get more numbers than when they are with just the guys…i had to explain to them…those females see me and they scheme to get the boots, the furs, the bags, etc. b/c they think my homie is hooking me up…they don’t know we’re not a couple! hahaha…and the joke is usually on them a couple weeks into dating them…they get smashed and get nothing!
How is this ***** news? I can’t be friends with a female. Imo always want to hit any female(good looking) that is an *****ociate or whatever of mine. I also think that dudes that do have quite a few female friends that ain’t players is on the gay side
*******************
this is exactly why i cant keep male friends. i actually feel more comfortable around my male friends and we kick it hard all the time but at one point in the relationship i always get one of them trying to either hit or they wanna couple up. i want the theory that men and women cant be friends to be wrong, but ive had only one male friend who wasnt trying to holla and he did end up being gay lol but oddly enough he had a very very weird fascination with my breast and asked me to flash him lol
This is one dumb *****. At least Beyonce has talent and speaks like a professional instead of a dumb hood rat like Rihalien. Her 15 mins are about up anyway. I can’t wait for Mariah’s album someone with real talent and can actually sell records unlike forehead girl.
Oh I forget. I believe today is Riri’s birthday. Although she will not read this but Happy Birthday Riri and best of luck at the Brit. Awards tonight. Hope she takes home awards in every category for which she was nominated.
while this comment have tones of truth to it, it still seemed kind of airhead-ish to me lol and that dress is ugly as sin .. its like a train wreck. its so ugly i dont want to look but strangely i cant peel my eyes away from it
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa girl you got me rolling over here. let me get my 2cents in before this jjj character IM MEAN RIHALIENBANANA STAN comes in and attack me.
yeah if it was someone proably older yeah. but ain’t she freakin for tracks. i would rather take advice from superhead than this broad comeon all she is a hot haircut and style biggggggggggggggggggg deallllllllllllllllllllll next. BOSSIP WHY ALL THESE SENSELESS ARTCICLES. i wonder where akeys is i don’t hear about her that much. so NEXTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Whoever does the captions be speakin the serious truth!! This broad is corny! LoL @ tweety!
Yes Yes Ya’ll…well said. Females just say that mess because they think it makes them look good to men. *rolling eyes*
rihanna is so freakin gorgeous
@ Tweety
Have you actually heard Beyonce speak? It’s painful. She speaks in fragments. Repeats the same words over again all while having a blank stare. Professional speaker my *****.
@PRTTYBRWNGIRL
I found your comment to be interesting. You said you feel more comfortable around your males friends, but only one out of them all has never tried to hit on you. So…and I’m not trying to be funny…but being looked at as a piece of meat all the time doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable?
(Back to the Rhianna)
Again, you don’t have to have more male friends than female friends to know not to lower your standards. Or to know what males say to each other about the opposite sex. So again, what did Rhianna say that was so enlightening?
Rhianna and Beyonce – One is not better than the other, speaking wise.
and it is so awesome that the great Paul McCartney from the lengend that is the Beatles is totally impressed with Rihanna’s music and that’s super since all of his fav. singers actually turn out to be mega-stars – Madonna, Michael Jackson, Usher.
BUMP ABOVE THREAD
give me that piece of ***** artice then i may say otherwise it funny how RIHALIENAINEASJIH STANS are stupid and young liers so please NEXTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
LOL @ the comments… Rihanna made a pretty good point but like someone said earlier it did seem a lil air-headed…Nevertheless continue success Ri-Ri..
Yeah, I agree. Guys are a lot more fun to hang out with than woman, Woman have way to many hang ups, and Drama. I feel more care free around guys. My friends however about about split down the middle between men and women
@ SOULWOMAN
I found your comment to be interesting. You said you feel more comfortable around your males friends, but only one out of them all has never tried to hit on you. So…and I’m not trying to be funny…but being looked at as a piece of meat all the time doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable?
***************************
i do feel more comfortable around my male friends because we’re able to hang out without the animosity that sometimes develops when a bunch of females get together. prime example. myself and two other female friends went out for drinks and when one girl wasnt getting enough attention from the bartender she started clowning tryin to call me and my other girl out, making snide remarks that she called “jokes:. a *****y side came out of her that really shocked me and she did it on several other outings so needless to say that cant be my road dog .. on the other hand when me and the fellas and maybe other girlfriend go out its all love, we drink, laugh, eat or whatever and have a good time. its not like the entire night theyre drooling and looking at me with tongues wagging. and in alot of cases i never even noticed when the vibe switched in the relationship and they were interested in a relationship. they would express interest and id decline and that was that. i wouldnt keep the company of vulgar men who try to objectify me and treat me like a piece of ***** but there have been occasions where id see them take quick looks at my T&A but thats typical male behavior
LOL AT THE AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL LMAO!!!! Honestly, I have mostly male friends but that is because I dont like *****y competing women who always seem to have a competition around their minds. I have ONE female friend who is a true friend. Some of my male friends when i first became acquainted with them have made a p*****, but they knew it wasnt going to get anywhere and we are still friends. Women are too insecure…@ PRRTTY im with you 100%…Hell I went out with a male friend of mines at Ruth Chris on Saturday..had a great time, and when the check came, I didnt have to pay *****…Let that be 3 women and it would come to fighting in the restaurant lol…
That settles it… Male friends are like killing two birds with one stone..Female friends just kill the damn mood lol…
@ KAI
my sentiments exactly .. i also have 1 good friend. she has never tried to front me out, talked about me behind my back and we been thick since like middle school lol .. we fight like sisters and 5 min later we laughing about that fight and i agree male friends are killin two birds with one stone and plus if i drink too much i can have one of partners carry my ***** back to the car
NOW … lets talk about that kitchen in the back of rihanna head .. to all my ladies rockin the short do’s and keepin they ***** lined up, trimmed and touchin it up when its not slicking down the way it should shot out to yall. somebody need to lend rihanna they mirror and let her check out the back of that head
why ri like being in the state so much i think that if i was in the carribean dats where most of the time would be spent. ain’t nothing better than that tropical sun so much vitamins.
the real question is,is that wine? she is not 21
@PRTTYBRWNGIRL
I understand what you’re saying now. I took it as you saying your male friends are constantly pushing up on you, and despite that, you still hang out with them.
@ SOULWOMAN
girl naw .. i couldnt tolerate that
Rhi Rhi is a HAM!!! Is this really news? C’mon Bossip I’d rather take advice from Britney Houston!
@pretttybrowngirl
duh the hair style is meant to be funky and spiky. it is not meant to be bone straight and BORING and done before . get some original style clue will yah?
I DONT BLAME RI FOR HAVING MORE GUY FRIENDS THAN FEMALES. FEMALES ARE TOO DAMN MESSY ENVIOUS JEALOUS CATTY MOODY SHADY GROUCHY AND HATEFUL. IM SURE MOST OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON THE SITE ARE FROM FEMALES. PURE EXAMPLE. WOMEN FIND REASONS TO HATE OTHER WOMEN AND MEN FIND REASONS TO ADORE THEM. DO THE DAMN MATH!
guys are less catty to hang around with. in my experience, there are very few trustworthy girls. you can’t really trust guys too much either though, because they might have other motives to pretend to be your friend while trying to get with you.
Rihanna has got to be the dumbest ***** in the industry. Everything that comes out her mouth sounds stupid. She need to learn how to talk and take speech cl*****es right along with the voice and dance lessons she been needed to take. Boring topic Bossip. Who cares about Rihanna? I’d rather watch Glitter than listen to anything this dumb broad says.
Wise words, very wise words from rihanna can’t believe she’s only 19. She is mature beyond her years. Most other celebrities at that age can’t even string two sentences together and make sense. Its good to read about a black celebrity who isn’t talking all dumb like the many black celebrities we have right now.
Men are easy to understand. We just want some *****. We will still be your friend because you give us insights on how to get it from other women.
Given the chance we will ***** you too as long as u r not too ugly.
Eventhough RiRi is young I agree with having more male friends. This advice is from someone old enough to be her mother…..”Men and Women are equally messy” just keeping living and having FRIENDS.
By the way is that Chris B in the picture with Rihanna? If so they look very cosy together.
I know lots of girls who are like that…They keep lots of guy friends, than girl friends… some say guys are more fun and honest, and girls are too *****y.
This is such obvious, general, blahh blahhh blahhh She’s not saying anything that hasn’t been said since the beginning of time. But, I’ve found that most often promiscuous girls choose to hang with guys because they are less involved and so she can avoid the JUDGEMENT due a *****. lol Not calling her a *****, but…
Anyway, it’s nothing wrong with having guy friends, everyone does…it’s common to have a core of 3 or four good girlfriends and several guy friends here or there, but to prefer guy friends? To consciously cultivate relationships with men…??
I’m telling you, the ONLY women I know who do this are unbelievably promiscuous. And, like someone else said, VERY competitive…always sleeping with guys in relationships…
lol@ “and heres the key”
but i dont think that having male friends means youre “promiscuous” comments like that warrent being warry of females because alot of them are judgemental..I had a close group of friends that I grew up with, I enjoy hanging out with women as long as theyre secure, intelligent, and have a sense of humor the same applies to my male friends,
the only differnce is the guys are the only ones who’d agree to go to Hooters with me to watch the game..best damn hot wings in town if you ask me!
I AINT TRYNA B RUD3 BUT I THINK SHE A HOE….SH3 B TRYNA HIT ON EVRY BODY MAN!!!!!….SHAM3 SHAM3 SHAM3
ACTUALLY I TAKE DAT BACK CUZ I GOT HELLA MALE FRIENDS TOO SOOOO….XCUS3 ME…LOL….BUT NAW I DNT LYK F3MAL3S LYK DAT CUZ DEY HELLA FAKE N DEY SUM BACK STABBERS N I AINT GOT TIME 4 LIL KID *****!!
*STAR WILLIAMS*
@ Ethang
LOL! Sometimes I think one of the very few words in Beyonce’s vocabulary is “blessed”… the chick is 26 and cannot express herself!
Rihanna gave a good advice…and although some of us in here may already know these stuff, “don’t lower your standards”, some girl (like superhead) or a kid could read this advice…
Misty Knight, read my comment again…I didn’t say “having male friends”…I said prefering male friends…
In my opinion, the sort of woman who prefers men over women…I mean CONSCIOUSLY, not that she happens to have made more male than female friends…I mean someone who goes out and purposely makes only male friends…well, these women are usually promiscuous…now some may be nymphos, but I bet most of them are just insecure girls who are insanely competive and sort of need the man to make that extra extension…so, there’s many guys she sleeps with and, in her mind, many guys who care…she rationalizes it as balanced.
@jjj
That’s true. What Rihanna said could be an eye-opener to some young girl who believes that she must humble and lower her standards satisfy to a man.
Boys are really more fun than girls, especially the funny ones (which I have for friends), they make me laugh a lot… anyway it is also good to keep friends (whether girl or boy) who can help you.
For instance, I go to school, if there is something I don’t understand they can help me. Your friends should be ambitious…
@ Marissa
Yeah, I know… and there are many girls out there who are like that. Both young and old…
I just checked billboard sales just now. Rihanna’s album good girl gone bad is back in the top 20 again. I glad to see that people are finally realising what a good album rihanna has. All of rihannas songs on her album are very good no fillers.
Marissa, I haven’t heard the album…not all of it…But this one song, “Lemme get that”…is it not the most oddly placed thing ever or what??? Does it fit the overall vibe of the CD?
@Sammy J. Parker
What your saying is kinda true. The song is probably different from the others because it has this part caribbean regaae beat which is differnt from her other songs.
i like it though. It has a great opening beat.
OK SO MAYBE SHE DO HAVE A POINT..BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY SHE GON BE AN IMMIGRANT W*****..SHE NEVER STOP SINGING..EVEN WHEN SHE TALK ITS A CHORUS.
FIRST OFF, SHE BEEN HEADIN JAY-Z SO OBVIOUSLY SHE IS NOT GAY..20 GUYS FRIENDS!!! SHE OBVIOUSLY TELLING THE WORLD THAT SHE IS A W*****. JUST FOR THAT IMMA DEPORT RIHANNA. SHE NEEDS TO BE DEPORTED 2 SHE NATIVE LAND( IN HER ACCENT)
No, Beyonce’ is the one who is giving Jay-Z head…
There is a post on another blog that says Barbados is going to celebrate February 21st as Rihanna Day… Just one day to celebrate the accomplishments of the singer.
They said that it will be a normal day… but the radio stations are going to be playing her songs through the day; and later in the day, there will be a free Rihanna concert… They also said that Chris Brown will be there, celebrating with her.
According to Barack Obama… “It’s not your experience in Washington, but what you can do in Washington.”
these two are really going to get it on!!
I’m with Rihanna ! Mostly my friends are guys and I have like 2 best girl friends. Guys are more fun to hang out with and they don’t come with drama. Girls on the other hand…… all they wanna do is argue and start drama and I can’t stand it.
lol. ppl r too funny.
Wow, the girl is saying something positive to all women and yet there is reason to disagree.
Any beautiful girl knows that although the guys that you may hang with may want to turn that friendship into the non-platonic status, it is still better than dealing with jealous girls who pretend to be your friend and then slowly show their true colours little by little as their hateful thoughts turn into words, which turns into actions.
My friends are mostly men thats because the women I know are very jealous and they always talking *****
Who Cares???
Just got in an im a lil toxic ffrrrom the scente damn its nasty… I would like someone to buy me so I will be free PLeASE… Rhianna is ugly but mayby she will save me from this torture, please heeeeeeelp meeeeeeeeee
@jjj before I keel over and die from the stench you stink of ***** licking and sucking it is even worse than the stench of Rita g’s fillet of fish PLLLE*****E HElllp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@ Rita G’s fish drawers
I think what you are really smelling… is that opening below your nose…
bossip damn everyday the same people.is rihanna related to the editor or what? step yall game up *****es.
Well i guess if a girl is a tomboy which rihanna said she is she would have a lot of male friends cause she would have more things in common and have more similar interest with the guys than she would a female.
THATS RIGHT I JUST CURSED THIS ***** OUT LAST NIGHT CUZ HE STEPPED OUT OF LINE AND TOOK MY KINDNESS FOR A WEAKNESS. N HE STILL LOVE MY *****
the ***** is she talkin bout and why is she dressed like cleopatra jones?
