It's Sony said. So I'm about to go on a date at a Louis store. How to get him to get me some shoes. Girl, that is not the place that you want to go on a date because now you're setting the precedent that.
You are to be bought.
And guess what? There are millions of women that can be bought.
What you need to make sure that you are doing is.
Having an emotional connection with this guy, y'. All are so focused on. I want him to get me this, I want him to get me that. Because you want somebody to give you the attention and validation and nurturing that maybe you didn't receive when we were growing up without realizing that shit is empty. And that you can get. Any guy can get you that. You can get yourself that. But what you're. What. What I think you may be looking for, and I'm not just talking to you. I'm talking about so many women out there. Is true, true love. Unconditional love and attention. Yeah.
Girl. Get yourself the shoes.

Hello, bestie. I downloaded Tinder and Hinge and Colonization was amazing. Two dates, amazing treatment. Honey, I need to do that video today, but I'm scared. I don't want to get canceled for telling black women that they need to colonize these white men. My partner is getting his clothes right now.
Okay. He didn't want to be on. He didn't want to be on camera. One of these days, I'll get him on. Aria Said, wait. I had no idea you had kids. Yes, I'm married with three kids. Le G, thank you so much for the two donuts.
Y' all don't get on Tinder. Please. Justice Said, I downloaded Hinge and Bumble. Bumble gave me so much anxiety. Okay, girl, why? Chris Said had a pretty good second date at a farmer's market yesterday. Love that day. We'll see where this goes. One of my clients reached out to me and she said, I'm going on a first date and we're going wedding cake tasting, which was so gag worthy. You gotta make this stuff fun. Yeah. So the sun is at self care day scheduled Thursday waxing and Saturday spa, massage, soft life. I know that's right. I got my. I got my facial on Friday right before my talk that I gave. It was so amazing.
It's Tony Said. I met this white guy yesterday. He was so sweet. Gave me money just to give to me. And now going to the lead store today. Girl, I don't like how this is starting off, girl.
Beatrix, thanks so much for the 11 roses. Danielle said, how do I get through dating in my early 20s? It's so awful by not taking it so seriously.
Like so many women are putting like I want to say like 50 into love and 50% into career. Girl put like.
50% into career, 25% into other self improvement and 25% into dating. The is not real and these men are not serious at that age. Like for educated men, they really don't want to settle down until 32 when they go through their second puberty.

Hello Holiday. Good morning Sasha King Coco said met someone wants to take it slow. Been a month has not asked but he does so many nice things for me. Has not asked what? Asked you to be his girlfriend? No girl we want, we don't, we don't want that until months two or three.
Matrix thank you so much for the seven Roses girl.
It's Sony Said I'm telling you once you date a white man you will not want to go back.
Girl Once you date white.
It might be just right.
Date everybody girl. You know if you know me, you know me. Date everybody and see who treats you the best.
Joe said, how do you think dating will change with the debt, financial crisis and the shrinking middle class? Girl the middle class has already shrunk. Girl, you know how you have mad shrinkage in your hair? That's what the middle class is giving right now. So it's already there. Which means. And this is the exact. This is what I talk about when I talk about Houston. And each town, girls know about this. There are either people, like, at minimum wage level or people at the engineer doctor level. And so it's going to be actually really hard to date because those people at the. At the, like, higher socioeconomic level level will have so many more options. And so, you know, for every one guy that's there, it'll be eight, ten, sometimes even 30 women that are. Look, are. That are for one guy in some of these bigger cities, which will make it very. It will make it harder for successful women to find a guy. Unfortunately, the gag is, though, don't go down.
Don't. Don't go down.
Yeah.
Christian said, Amor, your smile is so nice. Thank you, girl.
Justine said, how do I stop being lusted and actually love? Well, here's the thing. Most guys are looking for sex and find love along the way. So it really depends on, like, how you're dressing or if you're on the apps, like, what pictures you use. Girl, keep it covered up. Girl, I want you giving Banana Republic. I don't want you giving Fashion Nova. Do you know what I mean? And, like, some of the girls will give you that over the shoulder, like, picture where, like, nobody's looking at your face, everyone's looking at your butt. Don't give those pictures. Don't give a picture where you're sitting down somewhere and you have a short skirt on and your slit is all the way almost up to your, like, hip bone. Girl, don't give those, because when you lead with that, that's all they're gonna look at you for. And this is not me trying to tell you how to express yourself as a woman. I'm saying this because I don't want you bringing out the wolves. And maybe you might be doing. Doing that. Unfortunately.
Tiara said, met a flight attendant guy. Seems nice, but always gone. Also, girl, those flight attendant guys, some, most of the time, are hoes or super gay.
Yeah. He said, can you talk more about curated spaces? Yeah. My last video, I was in the amex Lounge in LaGuardia, and, girl, the. The men were mening. They were everywhere. And guess what, girl, I didn't see not one ring. Now, maybe that was by design, but I don't really think so. And so curated spaces are places where not everybody can get into?
Yeah.
So whether it's certain clubs, membership, country clubs even, I don't really think so.
And so curated spaces are places where not everybody, like, invisible place, invisible velvet ropes, where not everyone's going to go. Like you can get into.
Yeah.
So whether it's certain clubs, membership, country clubs, even museums, unfortunately, if there might be a stigma, like, oh, I'm not ready for that. Like, invisible place, invisible velvet ropes, where not everyone's going to go, like museums, unfortunately, if there might be a stigma, like, oh, I'm not ready for that. But the guys that are open to that have a different but the guys that are open to that have a different level of self concept, and those are the sorts of guys that you want to at least engage with. Okay.
Opaque siren. Thank you so much for the rose. Najwa said, any advice for the girls in their twenties? Like I was saying before, girl, don't take it seriously, because nine times out of 10, you're not going to find your guy in your 20s. Especially as a black woman, most black women are getting into their most. The best relationships between the ages of 35 and 45.
Yeah.
JXDA said, and why I colonize one man. I'm working on another. Oh, my gosh, y'. All. Oh, my gosh.
Level of self concept. And those are the sorts of guys that you want to library mouse that I want to colonize, but I never get a chance. Why? Girl d said, what do you mean by colonize? It means, girl, talk to these white men, engage with these white men, be courted by these white men, girl. Especially on Columbus day, which is happening tomorrow. Why not? Girl, this is how we start our reparations.
What do I think of the league app? I think it's way too expensive for what it gives.
Are you going grocery shopping? Okay. You're just getting ready?
Oh, the Halloween stuff. Okay.
Oh, they're gonna help. Okay.
Charity said, are there any red flags I should watch out for when dating an attorney? Yeah, girl, if he wants to debate all the time, he wants to go back and forth. No, girl. Cuz then you always going to be somebody on somebody's witness stand. Girl, that's. That's the biggest thing. That's the thing that doesn't feel good.
