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

  • Lip Chap aka Fuzzy

    Hello darkness

  • Kimy

    She is just seeking for attention. What would she talk to guys about?

  • http://www.myspace.com/birdshu Bird

    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.

  • Kimy

    Chris B is getting sexier the more I see him. Is it just me?

  • da darkness

    what the hell is she wearing? cris like “how am i gonna pull that short ass hair when i’m hitting it from the back tonight? where you at in life ho!” lmao

  • The One

    I love how Rihanna acts like she been on this earth so long and can share advise to others!!!!!

  • da darkness

    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

  • bree

    He’s actually getting uglier to me.

  • toranosuke

    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.

  • Grace

    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?

  • Ibn

    I can totally relate to rhianna…Im a guy and I have very few male “associates”…due to the fact of how slimy men can be…I prefer having more female friends

  • Kompton’s Kutie

    Well she is right. U can’t lower your standards and you can not allow them run over you!

  • Baby Doll

    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!!

  • If u like it, I luv it!!!

    I told ya’ll he was hittin’ that!!!

  • Ibn

    Wow IGNORANCE IS BLISS… everytime a man has female friends he has to be gay

  • andie

    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’.

  • fallon

    What kinda of guys is she talking to?

    She’s not that smart.

  • Harlem Chic

    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….

  • Justin

    I love how friends is spelled lol

  • Marlo Stanfield

    20 guy friends= 20 guys that wanna smash!! Period

  • I’m Just Me

    I HAVE A HANDFUL OF FEMALE FRIENDS BUT MOSTLY GUY FRIENDS. B*TCHES AIN’T SHYT AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY…

  • cns

    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.

  • dani

    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?

  • Don King

    @ Andie, excellent post.

    @ Marlo…. my thoughts too bruh.

  • Soulwoman

    I agree with Andie.

  • dani

    “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

  • Don’t mind me

    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

  • Don’t mind me

    All celebs have an ego! So attention is always good and gets them paid so whats your point

  • http://jamesthornskatyisd.org cogic man

    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!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gap & gucci

    did she literally say: here’s the key?

    lmao

  • http://celebzblast.blogspot.com Toya

    @ Yes Yes Y’all

    You are soooooooo right

    Good Post Andie and Soulwoman

  • Lili

    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.

  • Shirlene

    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.

  • KD

    @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.

  • Zlatijan

    it seems jay-z is giving rihanna some good advice about not lowering your standards.

  • ethang

    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.

  • cns

    It good advice that parents should tell their daughters.

  • Stacy

    Great advise Riri. I competely agree with you.

  • leah

    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!

  • Stacy

    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.

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    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

  • Joseph

    Whoever does the captions be speakin the serious truth!! This broad is corny! LoL @ tweety!

  • Soulwoman

    Yes Yes Ya’ll…well said. Females just say that mess because they think it makes them look good to men. *rolling eyes*

  • Look at me

    rihanna is so freakin gorgeous

  • ethang

    @ 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 ass.

  • Soulwoman

    @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?

  • Soulwoman

    Rhianna and Beyonce – One is not better than the other, speaking wise.

  • Stacy

    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.

  • feefee

    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..

  • Moreaces

    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

  • kai

    That settles it… Male friends are like killing two birds with one stone..Female friends just kill the damn mood lol…

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    @ 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 ass back to the car

  • da darkness

    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.

  • socrazyrightnow

    the real question is,is that wine? she is not 21

  • Soulwoman

    @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.

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    @ SOULWOMAN

    girl naw .. i couldnt tolerate that

  • z

    @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?

  • Trusted Source

    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!

  • andrea

    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.

  • SFX

    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.

  • good11

    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.

  • SFX

    By the way is that Chris B in the picture with Rihanna? If so they look very cosy together.

  • Misty Knight

    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!

  • STAR

    I AINT TRYNA B RUD3 BUT I THINK SHE A HOE….SH3 B TRYNA HIT ON EVRY BODY MAN!!!!!….SHAM3 SHAM3 SHAM3

  • Sammy J. Parker

    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.

  • Marissa

    @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.

  • Marissa

    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.

  • Sammy J. Parker

    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?

  • Marissa

    @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.

  • Marissa

    i like it though. It has a great opening beat.

  • I cant say…

    these two are really going to get it on!!

  • http://www.yahoo.com DAT CHICK FROM DA 843 ♥

    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.

  • CaPa

    lol. ppl r too funny.

  • NoTimeToGaze

    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.

  • {{LyNn}}

    Who Cares???

  • Rita G’s fishy drawers

    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

  • Rita G’s fishy drawers

    @jjj before I keel over and die from the stench you stink of ass licking and sucking it is even worse than the stench of Rita g’s fillet of fish PLLLEASSE HElllp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • No name

    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.
