THE ROUND UP: CIARA FINDS SINGLE LIFE TOUGH; RUSSELL & KIMORA SUE; ISAIAH WASHINGTON RECORDS PSA

Friday, May 25, 2007

ciara.jpg

Ciara is finding the single life “tough” after being without a boyfriend for more than a year. The Grammy Award winner, who was last week announced as the new face of Jay-Z’s Rocawear line for women, is determined to be patient as she searches for her soul mate. The 21-year-old tells website People.com,

“It’s definitely tough at times. I’m now past my year mark of being single, and I’ve got to say I’m a big fan of love. Being in a relationship is one of the most beautiful things, and I’m looking forward to being in a relationship. “I’m also at a place where I want to be patient and do it right. I’m one of those girls that when I date, I date to marry, so I like to take my time and really get to know a person. I do meet people and run across people, but it’s all about building a friendship.”

Rap mogul Russell Simmons and his estranged wife Kimora Lee Simmons are suing magazine In Touch, according to reports. The Def Jam Records founder and fashion designer filed a libel lawsuit in New York Supreme Court on May 17, over an undisclosed article in the weekly publication.

The couple, who split in 2006 after eight years of marriage and two children together, are seeking $250,000 in damages, according to a court filing published on TheSmokingGun.com.

Grey’s Anatomy star Isaiah Washington’s public service announcement combating homophobia aired last night on ABC. Word is, he might not be coming back to the show next season. Read more @ TMZ.COM

Ciara thats good she wants to find her soul mate and date to marry unlike lindsay hohan who wants to fuck everyone and never settle down.

Russell please what is $250.000 gonna do for you? thats like breakfast money for him.

Isaia washington? I really don’t see what the big deal is all about. why that TK guy got mad for? He is a faggot why he got mad because someone refered to him as to what he is. So now theres a proper way to say Gay. get over yourself Faggot.

ciara should work on herself, she is way to young to look for a soulmate!

Kimora and Russell have dealt with a lot from the press. It is time to make the haters pay like they weigh!

Isaiah needs to take a course in media relations and learn to be business in the streets and hood only with his peeps!

Ciara you’re only 21, you’ll find your soulmate soon enough. Right now you should stay focused on your career.

Kimora and Russ: HAM. Next! (But those kids are too cute)

Isaiah needs to stop running this into the ground. He made a fool out of himself and now they’re making an even bigger fool outta him. Either they’re gonna fire you or they won’t. SIT DOWN!

I also think that Ciara should wait before finding a soul mate. marriage is no joke and it is alot of work. In my opinion she is to young to want something that serious. I think she should concentrate on her career, date, and worry about being a better woman. plus any dude that she deals with is going to be in his early twenties and probably not ready to settle down anyway. I still don’t understand why people are so quick to marry. Figure out who you are first and then worry about a mate. God is going to bless you when he feels you are ready and not just desperate. to many marriages fall apart because people are in love with the idea of marriage, and don’t really know what they are getting into. I have seen enough of my friends marriages fall apart to know that it is not something to rush into.

Ciara’s only 21 and dates “to marry”? Lawd knows at 21, marriage was the last thing on my mind. Patience will payoff for her though, it did for me.

I didn’t know the Isaiah vs. TK thing was still going on. Isaiah has apologized I don’t know how many times, I guess he’s trying to keep his job. But why isn’t TK saying anything?

21.

Man… Isaiah. Dude, I think it’s over. At first I didn’t think his comment was even that damn serious, but now I’m just like if he had just left it alone then maybe….damn i don’t know. If he does get the boot, they should replace him with morris chestnut. Somebody posted that suggestion yesterday and I totally agree. He would do that part justice.

Ciara : Most single people can relate to that, and that means women AND men. We human beings were not created to be alone! That’s why everyone is looking for a soul mate. But you need to find “yourself” first and then the one who’s meant to COMPLIMENT (not complete) your life will come. Take your time, enjoy being with “yourself”. She reminds me so much of how me and my love think. That girl isn’t promiscuous, and there are more non-promiscuous people (men included) than you think. Don’t believe everything you see on TV and magazines. I love that girl’s personality, and her hairstyle is the ish.

Kimora & Russell : those lil girls are too precious.

Isaiah : Trying too hard. But the brother has no choice, there are so many gay people in the entertainment industry that if he wants to keep his job he’s gonna have to apologize a trillion times to allllllll the people he’s offended (that includes all gay the people he works with).

Friday, May 25, 2007 /

Amen #9…and I totally agree #23! That rhymed lol…

Anyways, I TOTALLY feel Ci-Ci. Personally, I would LOVE to find that special someone date them for like 3-5 years and then get married, that way you can have your fun with each other…then build a family.

Thats what it is all about forreal…I am SOOOOO tired of having to protect myself all the time when it comes to men. I am tired of putting up this wall and having to be on guard all the damn time b.cuz you don’t know if this guy is the real deal or just another fool trying to get some goodies!

I wish I could get a dime for every man that tried their hand with me…I would be richer than Oprah.

Moving on…
Thats right Kimora sue their asses lol! I hate “In Touch”, that mag is straight wack…damn near every article they write is false. I love how “Us Weekly” has started putting them on blast HILARIOUS!

Either they are going to fire Isaiah or not…I’m tired of this man apologizing! I mean damn he was wrong but that shyt is soooooo old, let it go muthafyckas!!! Lol…

Awww Ci-Ci…Er’body needs love. I pray God sends her a man that loves her. And that she doesnt look for him but that he finds her. That’s so sweet. She is not looking to hop from bed to bed. She wants a real relationship and committment.
Did I miss something? Why are Ki-Ki and Russ suing?

#25 U r a beautiful young lady. And love will find you. I know there are some knucle heads out there but good guys are still around. Mostly when you least expect it. I met my husband while I was screaming at this lady for running the red light and hitting my new car! Go figure. He said he knew I was going to be his wife that day. I was like you cause you knew I could fight if I needed to!!!hahaha But really it will come. PS that day I was lookin a mess! I had my hair in a ponytail (REAL NOT WEAVED) and my hospital scrubs.

>>>>>>>> :lol: I laughed so hard, that’s true. But I think we need to think about the fact that Don Imus is white. Isaiah is black working in a white-controlled industry (full of gay people too). Even if a black woman produces Grey’s Anatomy, hollywood, the tv channels & media in general are owned by whites. So there will be a double standard. The man is desperately trying to keep his job.

one more thing baby sis….Keep your goodies! Dont give ‘em away! I wish I was a virgin when I married my husband. Less drama. I am assuming that you are no longer a virgin so I am saying keep your goodies to yourself til u meet the right one from here on out. And when you date if it doesnt work out then you havent given your body to him and there are less emotions to deal with. Just a thought! Much luv to ya!

oh my that PSA made me so embarassed for Isaiah! i hope this has taught him a lesson tho cos its rife in the black community to refer to gays as ‘fags’ etc. But damn, they should sack him from that show cos if his acting is as shit there as it is here his ass needs the boot.

ciara is so sweet, humble & mature. these are the role models young girls need. with a personality like that she’ll find a real man in no time. Do you Ci-cI

Ciara is a fairly intelligent beautiful young woman who I am sure watches & talks to other older & sometimes much older women. & a common thread among those women is the lack of eligible men in their age category or the lack of REAL MEN in their age category. I agree that she is young yet HOWEVER I do think that when you are younger you are not nearly as set in your ways & therefore a bit easier to get along with another person in terms of the confines or freedom of a committed relationship. I say if the right person steps to her there is NOTHING wrong with her making a commitment to that person & vice versa, spending some real time getting to know that person & if the love is real & they are BOTH not just in love with the idea of being in love then going ahead & jumping that broom. It’s all about your maturity level & the experiences that you have had in life that determines whether or not you are ready to take that next step. Ultimately no one can know if you are ready but YOU.

Oh & I forgot to point out at her younger age that I truly APPLAUD her for taking a stand on NOT giving up the goodies. Hopefully alot of younger women & girls will see that she has put that out there & learn that its MORE THAN OK to say NO to these sexual predators out there. Hold on to you & your dreams & your innocence as long as you can. If telling him no or he has to wait means that he walks away from you then hand him a pair of SHOX & wave his a$$ goodbye!!!

Ciara’s seems to have a good head on her shoulders, her parents must have done a good job. She carry’s herself very nicely.

I though this Isiah Washington thing was over? Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t he and T.R. have a fight OFF CAMERA, on their own time? If he apoligized to T.R. and T.R. accepted it, why does he have to apoligize to the whole damn world. You know how many celebrities proboly say racist, homophic, sexist things when the camera’s aren’t rolling? Puleeese….put a sock in it.

PRAYER CHANGES THANGS, AND IF GOD BLESSED ME, (I’M HARDHEADED SOMETIMES, LOL) HE WILL SURELY BLESS YOU. I GOT UPSET ONE DAY THINKIN ABOUT HOW TRIFLIN MEN CAN BE AND DECIDED TO PRAY. I PRAYED FOR MY MAN THAT I HAVE NOW, AND I KID U NOT, AS SOON AS I SAW HIM, I KNEW IT WAS OVER. IT WAS LIKE THIS FAMILAR SPIRIT CAME OVER ME, LIKE WE MET BEFORE. BUT I REMEMBER I DIDN’T ASK FOR GOD FOR ANYTHANG SPECIFIC SO I THOUGHT HOW COULD THIS BE? BUT JUST SOMEONE THAT HE WOULD WANT ME TO HAVE. GOD IS REAL! I USED TO ALWAYS TELL MYSELF I WAS GOING TO TO MARRY A BASKETBALL PLAYER OR SOMETHING ONE DAY! AND WHEN THIS MAN APPEARED, I WAS LIKE WOW HE LOOK LIKE A BALL PLAYER ALL BIG AND TALL AND THIS IS WAS DA PART THAT TRIPPED ME OUT…HE WAS SAVED! AS FINE AS HE IS, I WAS LIKE WOW GOD, ALL THIS FOR ME? WHEN GOD DO SOMETHIN YALL, HE DO IT RIGHT! I/M NOT EVEN SAVED, BUT I KNEW GOD HAD SENT HIM FOR ME TO BE AN INSPIRATION, I AM A MOTHER AND ITS TIME OUT FOR GAMES, GOD SENT ME THIS MAN TO SETTLE ME DOWN FROM ALL THAT UNNECESSARY DATING I WAS DOING, WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER AND LIKE I SAID YALL, I WASNT SPECIFIC WHEN I PRAYED TO GOD THAT DAY, SO TRY IT AND I PROMISE IF U R SINCERE IN UR HEART, GOD WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR U TOO!….

Some of you people completely misinterpreted Ciara’s comments.

She is not saying she is looking to marry in the near future. SHe is saying that she takes her relationships very seriously and is a one guy kind of girl. MEANING she is not going to be meeting up with just anyone.

She is very savvy in that arena. She is not saying she is desperate for a soulmate, she just wants it to be known that she does not play fickly on matters of the heart. Unlike, folks like me. I hope to get that courage and determination to slow my fast self down sometime.

@SUCH MAGNIFICENCE

I COSIGN WITH NIKKI. KEEP IT LOCKED BECAUSE I THINK A REAL MAN WILL APPRECIATE YOU MORE. I DATED MY HUSBAND 14 YRS AGO WHEN WE WERE SENIORS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND EVEN THOUGH HE HAD BEEN SEXUALLY ACTIVE BEFORE ME HE RESPECTED THE FACT THAT I WASN’T GIVING IT UP AND NEVER TRIED TO PRESSURE ME AND WHEN HE TOLD ME HE LOVED ME I KNEW IT WAS GENUINE BECAUSE I WASN’T GIVING UP NOTHIN! I BROKE UP WITH HIM AND REGRETTED UNTIL OUR 10 YR REUNION WHEN WE GOT BACK TOGETHER AND NOW WE’RE MARRIED. I SAID ALL OF THAT TO SAY I THINK MOST MEN WILL APPRECIATE YOU AND WHAT YOU’RE TRYING TO DO INSTEAD OF GIVING IT UP TO ANY AND EVERYBODY. YOU CAN BE AN EXAMPLE TO ALL OF THE OTHER SINGLE WOMEN ON HERE. IT’S EASY FOR MARRIED PEOPLE TO TELL SINGLE WOMEN WHAT NOT TO DO BUT OTHER SINGLE WOMEN WILL BE MORE WILLING TO LISTEN IF IT COMES FROM SOMEONE WHO’S SINGLE.

#70, I DONT KNOW WHERE U COME FROM OR WHAT U BEEN TOLD, BUT THATS WHAT I WAS RAISED LIKE ALL MY LIFE! BELIVE WHAT U WANT, BUT TO ME THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ATTRACTIVE THANG ABOUT A MAN IS ONE WHO IS SAVED AND LOVES GOD! EVERYTHYANG ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACE, YEAH I DATED ALL KINDS OF MEN, AND ALL TYPES, BUT THEY WERE JUST FUN AND THOSE THANGS DON’T LAST. I AM SORRY I WANT SOMETHIN THAT IS GONNA LAST! EVENTUALLY, I WANT TO BE MARRIED AND IF I WANT A MAN IN CHURCH THAT WANTS TO BETTER HIS LIFE SPIRITUALLY, THATS MY PEROGATIVE AND THERE IS NOTHINGGGGGGGG GREATER THAN THAT! I AM AN OLD FASHIONED WOMAN AND WANT TO RAISE MY DAUGHTER UP IN CHURCH LIKE I WAS, SO THAT WHEN SHE GROWS OLD, SHE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT, NO MATTER WHAT CRAZY THANGS SHE MAY DO! THE CHURCH AND ALL THE VALUES I INSTILLED IN HER WILL BRING HER BACK TO LIFE! IN THE END IT IS YOUR SOUL THAT U SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT! I’M YOUNG, I LIKE TO PARTY AND HAVE FUN TOO, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN! MY MAN IS ADDING TO THAT PART OF MY LIFE AND I AM FOREVER GREATFUL!

I am so happy that at least ONE person on this blog had issue with previous comments regarding the acceptability of using the word “faggot.” The word has an extreme negative connotation assosiated with it and Role Models should consider that before repeating said word multiple times.
I don’t understand why everyone is so surprised by the PSA. THIS BLOG reported that Washington hired a PR firm to do damage control. No one realized that this would be exactly the sort of thing his PR agency would have him do?

Finally, I just wanted to comment on the Simmon’s possible intent regarding their lawsuit. Generally lawsuits against magazines are for defamation, slander, etc. and the Plaintiff’a ultimate purpose is for the magazine to retract the defamatory remark and print an appology. It is probable more of a principal thing than a monetary issue.

Hey Candi, email me foxxy380@hotmail.com

CiCi, girl take this time out to get to know yourself and work on the things you need to improve on. Then you work on getting into a relationship.

@Such Magnificence, I feel you. The last two guys I met all moved to fast for me. I don’t know if I move too slow or they move to fast. After a week of knowing them, the first guy wanted to give me back rubs and hug and hold hands and I was like WTF? No, boo I barely even know you. Then the second guy, I met 2 weeks ago and already he talking about me spending the night at his house. HELL TO THA NAW!!! When a guy moves too fast that just turns me completely off. *singing Max Minelli song…Oh Nooooo! My momma ain’t raise no hoooo! Got my nerves bad*

I feel Ciara on that. Its been a little over a year since I’ve been single myself and I HATE it. I love being in relationships and being in love. I also understand what she is saying about dating to marry. What’s the use of spending years on someone you know you can’t see yourself marrying? Waste of my time and yours.

@ Caff: You can be single and still get sex. You don’t need a relationship for that.

I think we are acting too grown these days. She should be dating to have fun and to gain experiance, not for her soulmate. Dont get me wrong, my mom married at 21 so I now it can happen……but why waste your youth on searching? I say go for what you are attracted to and you may even find that mr right. Besides soulmates dont happen at first site, you need to be with said man for awhile in order to truly know.
Anyone else weirded out by her boobs (or lack therof). I knew she was flat chested but DAMN my baby needs to NEVA stand sideways with them small ass titayballs! She needs to stop losing weight cause even tho her stomach looks sick, her boobs deflate even more. She should have just stuck with her goodies body….and just toned the tummy a lil bit.

God is amazing, I know how he has changed my life I won’t go into specifics but I use to be a firecracker in many ways my mouth primarily (cussing folks out daily) but since I’ve accepted God in my life-many people can’t believe I’m the same person.

But I like how she’s a classy and respectable women and wants a man who will really respect her and treat her right. I hate all these dudes who just wanna fuck right away and if you aint giving it up quick or at all, he’ll leave. That’s exactly what Ciara is saying, in her own way. She’s a good religious women who does the right things and good things will swing her way.

p.s.

ladies men want us to say no and to set limits-they expect it and enjoy the challenge-it’s divide and conquer. No real man really appreciates anything given to him that he didn’t earn or work hard for-

not preachin, just piggy backing off of everyone elses comments-if more women said no, in my personal opinion men would settle down much quicker-we’ve created a monster by giving a man sex w/o commitment all while he is playing the field-why in the world would he want to commit when he is in a win/win situation.

Women stand to lose so much more-not saying I aint never swerved w/o a commitment, just not a good idea to make a habit of it-men began to expect and that’s why society is the way it is now-nobody wants to wait or work hard for nothing and everybody expects instant gratification

@ SSSSSSS….your worst than caff.

Cosigns with everyone who says casual sex is not a good idea….There is aids/herpes/genital warts/hepatitis/ect. And

@ 107 Bailey, what you said is on point. I think it also has to do with the fact that a majority of people seldom have any morals. Most likely if you have morals you are gonna wait; but sometimes even your morals and values can’t hold you back because of temptations. Most of the time, when people have sex it is not really planned, it just happens. Some peole end up giving into lust; but not me lol.

Thanks Bailey, we all appreciate the love & acknowledgment since many of us get shot down especially by the trifling ones who shall not be named lol.

SSSSSSSS luv you did your thing & in your mind it paid off but did you ever think about the true consequences of your actions? What you allowed to happen does NOT just affect you. It has lasting ramifications for the women that dude will disrespect behind you as well as silent influence on the women of your generation & the generations behind you (Not to even MENTION–OK I will mention– the chances of STD infections unwanted pregnancies, etc). Precedent & expectations set behaviour. We have all made mistakes, maybe next time you can do something a little bit different & just see what positive things that change will bring.

P.S. Sista I KNOW it was the bomb when it happened but when you see that dude again, if indeed you do what MYSTERY do you have left to yourself now?

AND I want to hug you for making sure that dude wrapped it up. That’s one less issue that we have to worry about. Trust me I have been where you were. I took a vow of celibacy that last over 3 years. It was a reflection on me myself, my willpower, & my desire for something better. When I finally did agree to share my body with someone again I was better able to make the decision about whom, what their intentions were, & ultimately if I wanted to have more than a protected sexual relationship with him. I am actually not trying to preach to you, just asking you to think the next time you consider hooking up. Sex is a BEAUTIFUL YET POWERFUL thing. It’s like I always tell my gyrls we have the P*ssy Power if only we understood just what that means!!!

Being a single black woman can be, at times, a very difficult thing in today’s society, but I take comfort in knowing that God has placed me in this position for a reason.

It’s so hard to live by the Lord’s time line instead of your own, but I’ve learned that if you just wait on Him, He’s always right on time! I had to give it over to God a long time ago because picking a good man isn’t something I’m good at, lol. Learning to have patience has been difficult but I’m hopeful that the reward far outweighs the struggle :-)!

YES,THERE ARE A LOT OF BROTHERS WHO ARE IN COLLEGE AND ARE HOLDING CAREERS, BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO COMMITTED AND TIME SOON,and if they settle down, the majority of them are going after a light-skinned sistas or a bi-racial sista, my heart goes out to the chocolate sistas. Even though I am a caramel complected sista, I think that all black and Latino sistas deserve an African or Latin king.

Dark sistas keep your head up ,because, GOD IS GOING TO BLESS YOU WITH A MAN, MADE JUST FOR YOU. All sistas;get a man at least 5 years older than you are, because Lord knows men over 30 are like the only ones available for us.

I was almost with SSSSSSSSSSSS until she started talking about using sex in exchange for other goods, I don’t care how anybody wants to spin that but there is a word for it don’t get it twisted luv.

But reading a lot of these posts, I really don’t understand why all of a sudden everybody’s pretending that they are all prudish, and have never had casual sex you know sex just for sex sake… I’m sorry I just dont’ buy all the hypocrisy.

Sex is a wonderful and beautiful thing between people that love each other, it can also be a very fun thing amongst two consenting adults who both know what the coup is. And both know to keep their ish safe.

We do nothing as women for ourselves by pretending to be emotional victims, not being real with ourselves and using sex as a something we are giving rather than something you are sharing with somebody.

The end until i think of something more,,, or something else rattles me

However, if you want a guy to respect you and committ to you, holding out is your best bet. Guys do like a challenge, and honesty. Even if you us to be a slut and made a change, I guy will respected that if you tell him from the beginning and prove it to him.

I don’t like the idea of “making him wait” because that implies that you act according to him and not because of your own convictions. I like the idea of “waiting cause I want to and know that’s right for me”. I’m an individual with my own mind and opinions. I personally don’t live according to what men think, I live according to my beliefs and what GOD is telling me is right for me. Plus, some girls who had sex after a week are still in long term relationships or even married to THAT SAME MAN they had sex with a week after they met, and you have 45 year old christian virgins who still ain’t got nobody who are committed to them. To me the choice of virginity should be based on your relationship with God rather than “waiting to get the ring”. And real men of God don’t hoe around either, because of that relationship that they have with God.

And by the way, virginity is not easier for women as people claim to be. WE ALL have hormones and women are tempted just as much as men. NOWADAYS they are much more sexually active simply because they’re LESS pressured than back in the day, which naturally led to less psychological blocking leading to less physical blocking. Men never had that “virginity pressure” so most of them never felt the presure of “waiting and not giving it too easy”.

I’m glad u don’t care what people think, I don’t either. I don’t think u are a hoe or anything else (I don’t judge people I don’t know). Maybe it’s my own lack of sexual experiences the reason why I was so curious. Thank u for showing me the other side and being honest!

@#150 you have a point to what you wrote however. I’m 24 yrs old and I’m letting you know if you don’t let a guy know you don’t respect yourself, he’s not going to respect you eithe- With holding sex is a part of it, not everything. Most guys I know will have sex, just to have sex- kill time- or to experience something new. Guys only commit to those, they feel have morals, some sort of class. Guys think- Hey. you gave it up to me fast, you probably do it with every other guy.

People want to get married so young!!!! This dude at my gym is 19 and married, and says he loves it…that’s cuz he hasnt lived yet and doesn’t even know the deal is foreal. But more power to him. I think your 20’s should be spent living and enjoying life, and not trying to find a husband or a wife. It also cuts down the years you have to be married to someone.. but anyone Ciara, keep dancing and poppin that booty cuz u too young to be looking to get married.

Wanting to get married tells alot about a person phycologically but I’m not about to get into that right now…

I wish one day, my child would act and talk and even look like this gurl. She is an angel on earth. Her parents did one hell of a job raising her. Beauty AND brains. It’s very rare to find young women like her anymore. And she’s wise beyond her years.

>>>>>>>>>> Well some girls have the same mindset and use men just for “the dick”. Do you know I have a relative who attempted to commit suicide cause he was in love with a woman who used him for 2 years for “the dick”, and got some on the side, and he found out? He was serious, she couldn’t care less and used him cause “he was good”. I don’t have double standards, I personally believe male hoes are just as bad as female hoes. And I let the man I’m with know that I wanted to wait but he also knows that I’m not doing it “cause I fear his judgement”. I’m worrying about GOD’s judgement, not my man’s. Like I said, I do it for God, not for validation of “human beings” who are just as human as me.

I have to say this. I relate to Ciara because I respect myself ALOT in a relationship and I make that be KNOWN. I’m a virgin as well as ciara. We both respect ourselves and we do not give our selves to men just like that. And trust me, men may act like they don’t want to be around you if you hold youself up high in a respectable manner, but nothing would make any man happier than knowing that his bride-to be is a virgin. Cici, I know it may be hard sometimes but don’t give it up, please don’t. That is going to be one lucky guy marrying you on your wedding day. A very lucky man.

I hear The Simmons are suing because InTouch printed so bs about their divorcing getting “ugly”, supposedly because Kimora is asking for a bigger place and she wants Russell to pay for it. When asked to do a retraction, InTouch denied. The $250,000 just a principle figure. It’s to show that the lawsuit isn’t for financial gain. But the magazine would have had to pay that much to do a retraction and whatever else.

OMG how the views of marriage have changed over the yars. Decades ago people got married in the late teens & spent 60 years together without too much fuss. Nowadays if you say or allude to the possibility of marriage before 30 both men & women seem to cross you like you are the devil & run in the bloody opposite direction!!! Dayum times have changed & not for the better. Please & remember that the TRUE idea of marriage is NOT the end of your life but an extension of your life. Love is motivating, rejuvenating, & positive, & just being in love GREATLY improves your quality of life & your longevity. IT”s not the GOD awful thing that the media, videos, songs, & celebrity divorces make it out to be.

Okay… can the same be said about someone who doesn’t want to get married?

yes.. when I say pycologically, I’m not saying you’re crazy. Just what’s going on in your mind…let me explain.

Someone who is 19, 20, 22… it’s different degrees of it. the most extreme is young people all they can think about is getting married. Every boyfriend or girlfriend they’re with mysteriously becomes their fiance in like 3 months! Relationships require compromise and basically giving up a part of who you are if you’re gonna be with someone else. You have to make yourself vulnerable to make another human being control your emotions of anger, frustration, hopelessness, and fufillment. All the things that make up a relationship. As a person individually, I’m not seeing this person as really secure, or goal oriented. They’re pretty simple for the most part. They don’t really get too deep, they’re not really mean, they’re not really anything. These types of individuals tend to be more insecure and wanting to fit in with the crowd. Not quite having their own mind, and their ok with it. Not saying it’s bad thing, it’s just how they are. Everyone can’t be strong minded…

On the other end, a strong minded person is gonna see few relationships in their life. And if they do, theirs alot of turmoil..arguing. They want the last word. They want the other person to do everything without them having to change anything about themselves. These people tend to be very successful in business. But their love life suffers. Alot of times these people stay single for along time. They are selfish, to say the least. They arnt willing to let someone else dominate their emotions and become needy to a particular person. You need both of these types of people in the world….

I’ll just stop there. cuz it breaks down even more than that, and I dont feel like typin that much. I just gave you the extremes of both sides. People vary in those two types but, I think ya’ll get the idea.

176.

NetworKing

Saturday, May 26, 2007 /

…alot of young people are insecure, it’s not till you get older that become more strong willed. If you notice parents who were married when they’re young it’s harder for them to find someone as they get older, cuz they’ve been there and done that, and they arn’t gonna go through the same crap again.

but on the other hand, if someone has been abused, they’re more subjected to being that way their whole life, not just physically but verbally and emotionally. These types are always getting those insecurities they felt or didnt they think they had until someone re-enforced that in them over and over again. Whether it’s calling someone “stupid” all the time or beating them because they didn’t do anything right. Over time you believe it and it becomes hard to overcome it. Someone who isn’t strong willed is more likely to be abused than a strong willed person. A stong willed person, will be damned if someone talks to them or even touches them let alone once…

like it said… it gets deep! :)

There are some of us who value who we are & value our bodies & our spirit & are NOT willing to compromise those things for the “satisfaction” associated erroneously by some people with casual sex. And contrary to popular belief not every woman looks as a dude & within 5 minutes knows if she plans on f*cking him or not. Some of us really want to know more about what is going on in the head we can see first LONG before we ever lay eyes on the one we cannot! SMDH!!!

Real Talk, I will agree with you that many of us women today are confused about who we really are but most of that is because of the images the media portrays & the misconception that is more often that not associated with those images. Many of the ladies here are attempting to CLEAR UP those misconceptions. We will persevere if we just keep fighting. You are right that the thug image has been boosted up & that some women do idolize that image & seem to allow that image exclusive presence in their lives. Again that is based on the misconception that the traits these so-called thugs possess are the desirable ones when for the majority of women they are not. But as well all know the more you see it the more you start to believe it.

>>>>>>>>> My parents been married for almost 30 years, still loving each other like teens, and one thing they always taught me was that someone who truly loves you WILL NOT expect you to compromise yourself, not even partly. Real love is about finding someone that you can be more YOURSELF with. My grand parents (54 years of marriage and counting) told me the same thing basically. People are supposed to be complete and complement one another. The man I’m with makes me feel free specifically because I’m not compromising who I am. Relationships that last require communication, sharing the same values, partnership, respect, and it does require effort too (from BOTH people) but never compromising yourself. If you give up a part of who you are, then you’ll always be incomplete and as a result you’re BOUND to be unhappy as an individual and in couple. Find someone you can be yourself with. As for being cynical about marriage, my own father told me this is one of the most amazing experiences of love but when done for the right reasons, and with the right person. And quite frankly, he didn’t have to tell me cause when I see my parents I have no doubt in my mind. All the cynical people about relationships (most people), sometimes quick to play the “blame game” (y’all women this, y’all men that), I guarantee you that 100% of them unless they work on themselves will never be able to build ANYTHING with ANYONE (and blame errthing but themselves for it). Networking, brother, I shared what I’ve been taught from wise people who live it, maybe you’re sceptical cause you’re from a broken home, but I hope one day you’ll re-evaluate your concept of relationship.

And just like any couple they have their problems but they GENUINELY still love each other & do whatever it takes to work it out. Whenever I get down on the idea of love & down on the idea of finding that special Man who deserves me & truly wants to be with me for me, I look at them as a true example of how great a marriage can be when 2 people are involved that genuinely understand what marriage IS & what is ISN’T. I think alot of the people on here have seen such negative images on marriage everywhere there turn that to hear Ciara even mentioned the word is BLASPHEMY in their minds.

@ 191. FyreStarrter, so very true, so so very true. Yes there are a few problems in every couple but long as there’s respect and willingness to work it out, it will last. See Ciara has positive models her parents, you and I have been blessed to have that but soooo many don’t, somehow I can understand why most don’t question their perception of reality. Not only do they see it around them but it’s promoted on TV, and ultimately chances are you end up becoming the product of your environment cause as you said, the more you see it the more you believe it.

@ 192. getmebodied, people were mostly married by arrangement, for economic reasons. And often it was the girl who was a teen and the man who was a grown (cause he provided for the family), and there were not laws to protect those kids back then. My great grandma got married at age 12, just cause that was the norm back in the day doesn’t mean it was good. Killing women who had a child out of wedlock in many countries was the norm and still is today, but is it fair or good? No.

188 and 191, that is real good to see that, they are definatly the exception. What I was saying was that it’s not the case for everyone, but for a lot of people. I was just explaining the extremes of both sides. We do need to see more examples of strong love, not just on tv, but in our own families and parents. Cuz tv only shows a portion of these peoples lives, a small portion. If you have parents who love eachother, and you see that on a daily, that creates expectations and brings a strong since of what marriage can be if two people really love eachother.

Unfortunatly alot of people dont see that. Me included…the closest I saw was my grandparents, but my grandmother had went through so much termoil in her life, but the grandfather I grew up knowing was good for the most part. How many men can take on 6 kids? My grandmother had 6 kids and 3 cousins all living in his house. And he had none! I comend him for that…

on another note..

women PLEASE! Stop having kids and not married! Just because your on a pill dont just rely on that! Make us negros wear a condom! You almost got to expect a woman to have kids when you meet them now a days! And I’m still in my early 20’s! Ugly girls even have kids! And you got these knuckle heads that dont do shit with they kids and that really piss me off! Negros if you dumb enough to have sex wit a girl without a condom, just because she told you she was on the b.control, you need to wake up too. and pulling out become cuming is stupid too! There is sperm in pre cum too! Weed may lower your sperm count, but you only need 1 sperm to make a baby…

If u are gonna ‘keep’ urself keep urself for God not no bloody man.
Andy by the way I giving it up early to 2 guys b4 and i didnt want them but they were on my case - one still is so giving it up early dont matter and any reasonable guy will know that.

If the guy can call the woman an easy lay well he was an easy lay too he screwed her the same time didnt he???

If only more young, and older, females had the mindset of Ciara. She has it right! She can’t control her feeling. She’s human. Also, she said she is patience. Having fun does not equate having sex or dating - that’s what’s wrong with alot of people now, and the reason why there are so many baby mothers and baby daddies around. People don’t think about who they are giving themselves too, mentally and phyically. Not everyone is in to dating around and giving yourself to just anybody. Some people like being in committed relationships.

^^^ You really said a mouthful! I agree with everything you said. “Having fun” doesn’t mean you just run around and sleep with any and everybody. Ppl have a warped way of thinking it seems.

Sniff, Sniff (Fyre with a lil something in her eye)…I really do wish that we had more active dialogues like these. Roundtable discussions like this are the start of plausible solutions to some of the MAJOR issues affecting our communities AND our generations. We all KNOW we have some major issues & that we need solutions but how can we ever come up with solutions if we never realistically talk about the underlying problems?

@Networking you are so right that the imagery we see is not helping us. But it is up to us to change it. You know that as well as anyone here. In our communities the relationships between men & women are so fractured that I fear it will take decades to repair. And that is being highly optimistic. After all, it took us CENTURIES to get here.

Ciara is too young to be thinking about a soulmate and getting married. I think she should just enjoy the her fabulous life before getting tied down. I understand her though about enjoying being in a relationship. I was in one for 3 years, and I’m still trying to get over him, even though it’s been a while since we broke up. I’m young so I’m living it up, and when the time is right, I’ll be able to experience that again.

Saturday, May 26, 2007 /

In like two articles and a video interview I read she said she wanted to have 5 kids at the age of 25. She is very mature and maybe thinking her life out to fast.

To comment on what Ciara said, I agree 100%. Eventhough I am 17 years old, I sometimes feel like I will never be able to find the MAN that I will be able to spend the rest of my life with. Just as Ciara said i’m not dating just to have something to do, when I date I’m looking for the man that I want to marry.

Ciara dates to get married …. I date to fuck ! I probably would date to marry ! But spending money in the beganning (courting) . And during a marriage and then breaking bread at the end (alimony,childsupport) . I minus well build a firepit and throw my cheddar in now !FWIW

Ciara said, she would like to have her first child at age 25. Don’t give her 5 at age 25. Life is what you make it. People sex is overrated get to know each other as friends before lover.

don’t compare gays to blacks, it’s just insulting. feel how you want to about the matter, but I don’t think that having sex with someone of the same sex compares to one’s race. I’m sick of all these stupid bullies attempting to attack others because of their opinions.

I just viewed the comments and ya’ll on here are acting so damn stupid. Easy whores talking bout 3 weeks and gave it up. That really shows how much respect you have for yourself. And some on here say I don’t judge people, shit from a comment like that 3 weeks and even 2 months aint even long enough to find out if somebody on crack. Seriously, so mmmmmm, fuck a man who you know a few things about but not too much. Yea what a classy lady.
knockkey, you right. Damn people can’t even wait to know a person before sleeping with em. This is exactly why black people and even people in general get HIV. I don’t care… it’s ya’ll fault. 45 million in 2010, remember that.

@ 216 girl please! Folks get HIV from not using protection where sex is involved simple as that! You can date a person for 20 yrs and still know nothing about them so what is your point??? You can sleep with a man after five months or even a yr and he still can disrespect you ,again whats your point??? If hes a good man hes a good man ,If he is a scumbag hes a scumbag ,I dont care how long you make him wait !!!!

Soliana22, it is really hard. It’s even harder when you find out that they’ve moved on and they got someone new and you’re still stuck in the same old place. *sighs* You’re right tho; you just gotta keep it moving.

#MiZZLiZZ Its even worse when they cheat. It’s like how you gonna move on in that way. be honest always… Being honest says alot. He can be a dirt bag, but as long as he’s honest about it, I guess that says something. And even though I dont know ur ex. The grass isn’t always greener on the otherside he may be thinking about u like crazy. I know why doesn’t he let u know right? thats what I ask folks who tell me the same thing.Newayz .

Ciara teach no sex not safe sex to girl all over the world. Ladies you must love youself before you can love other. Men want a lady as a wife and ho as a bed partner. So which one do you want to be? Monica just broke it down with Sideline ho. Ciara wrote Promise to her Soulmate to be. Looking for somebody I can call Boo The only one I can give my all too Is it You. Ladies support Ciara care about yourself first

And seeing the scurge (thugs) of my community , sleeping with the same women I was trying to get to know . I came up with the ideal if U can be on my phone talking to me for HR’s on end .

Lawd knows I totally understand what CICi is feeling. I’m just turned 20 and i have a pretty face (at least in pics) but i have NEVER had a serious boyfriend and i’m a serious christian so marriage is the only way i’ll have a family and i’m worried sick that i’ll end up gathering dust on the shelf when i’m 35 in 15 years time. And be condemned to die a virgin!

But at least i know exactly what i need to do to change all that. Lose 60 lbs cuz at 5′5″ 190 lbs i look like shit and my neck looks like a pack o’ hot dogs and then i’ll do a chemical peel and fat injection to the booty, get some sexy clothes. AND POOF i’ll have a rock on my left hand.

SIGH a girl can dream. CIARA I totally understand gurl! You’re single for 1 year i’m single for 19 years ( excluding age one lol)

I also know how Ciara feels. I’m strong black woman, have a house, car and a job however there is a void there which is LOVE. Women we want long-term partner. Age does not matter when it comes to being married, who wants to be in there late 30’s or early 40’s starting a family.Halle Berry and Janet who put there careers first and now there in there 40’s wanting kids. Hopefully, Mr. Right will come along and sweep Ci-Ci off her feet.

@ NETWORKING,

I know what you feel brother but it doesn’t matter if I’m the exception or not. What matters is, do you wanna be part of what you call the exception? Do you wanna change the situation NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE? I’ve had positive models for marriage but NOBODY for financial security, my parents were broke, sometimes couldn’t pay the light or water bills, yet I made something of myself. I started my own business. Well in my family, 80% of the people I know are broke. Did that stop me? NEVER. I educated myself and CHOSE my own successful role models (#1 is Sheila Johnson - America’s first Black female billionaire, among others), read their biographies and/or books, read books about business, but of course in a field that I love. I will not tell you what cause I want to remain anonymous. My brother is a well paid lawyer, from the same home. My point is, it doesn’t matter what your environment is, if you made up your mind that you’re going to be “the exception”, YOU WILL MAKE IT. That’s what faith is all about, strongly believe in something that you don’t see. I didn’t see money around me, but I believed I could have it, and I never wanted to be a golddigger, I wanted to stand on my own two feet. Also, my parents marriage don’t guarantee that mine will succeed, and didn’t even guarantee that I’d meet a good man. All I ever had was faith.

I think that Ciara is very pretty young lady and talented. I commend her on taking her time to get to know the man she wants to become involved with. In this day and age this is very smart. Also behaving like Kim takes away from your respectability. There is an old saying “You can’t make a tramp into a housewife”. Reggie may sleep with Kim for a while. I personally would not want him if he is sleeping with her cause she is a tramp. There is no telling how many guys she has been with. There is no telling how many women he has been with. They may be perfectly matched. Let them keep their sexual diseases between the two of them. Ciara a good man will come along he will not want a tramp but he will want a good woman. There is good an there are bad. You are one of the good guys. I am also a good woman.
