The constant effort to belittle me and make assertions on how I behave in a relationship based on literally ZERO experience of me in a relationship is NOT someone who likes me. Just becuz I am a public figure does not mean I have to accept any claims the "public" makes abt me. And I would a GOODT chunk of money down you didn't watch the entire intrvw. The level of ego to legit say "it's my right to talk about you" is BONKERS. MOVE AROUND.

    Amanda Seales is ALWAYS a master class in transparency and intuition. Often, women who are perceived as “masculine” or “difficult” or whatever the haters want to call her, are actually highly sensitive, deeply feeling, deeply loving people who just want the energy they give to be reciprocated. Sadly, most people just don’t have the emotional capacity (or capability) to show up like that and that’s what makes it hard for someone like our girl. It’s cold out there in them streets!

    If marriage is the ultimate goal for most relationships, I’m going to make an unpopular statement. As a married man, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Everyone isn’t cut out for marriage regardless of gender. It takes an exceptional person to get married and remain successfully married. The marriage and divorce rate numbers are accurate and it takes a special person to indefinitely pair-bond with another person. I pray for the best outcome for everyone. Honestly, there are some great people out there, but they are not great for marriage. God bless 🙏🏾

      So true. I’m 33 years in. We have good and bad times. Being respectful and acceptance good and bad is an absolute in a marriage. If you cannot accept that in a person, keep moving. Amanda clearly does not want to deal with a man’s traumas and I get it, but let’s get real, she’s all over the place and she takes everything to heart. She is extremely sensitive and speaks on everything. Not saying she should shut up since she has the right to speak, but my god she could drive someone crazy. Is she ever just happy about something. It must feel exhausting just wanting for things to change in society No one wants to hear constant complaints. Man or woman.

      Man here. The guys that are saying that to you, are only saying that because they think that's what you want to hear. No man wants a woman who "challenges" them. We want a woman who inspires us... Unfortunately, black women (most American women) live in delusion, so men play along to get what they want from her... If a man says you "challenge" him, eventually he's gonna grow annoyed of your challenges, and he will check out, and seek an inspiring women...

      No man desires a woman that challenges him, we desire women who inspire us. That's your role as the helpmate on the team.
      This is why women like AS can't keep a man, she's too challenging, to the point where it's received as competition, disrespectful. And no man will compete with a woman, we'd rather just leave which is why AS can't keep a man. She's likely always debating him, cutting him off mid-sentence, questioning even the basic of requests that he makes, and always rolling her eyes when he shares his perspective while telling him he's wrong. That's AS all day, and that's why she can't keep a man... And y'all are taking her advice smh Good luck with that...

    She is so special and clear in her intensions to provide ppl knowledge, joy, and laughter while she is speaking her truth and sharing her stories and yet ppl treat her with disrespect and disregard. I wish the clowns that talk smack would really think how hard it is to be honest and transparent in your life and put in the work to reflect instead of throwing commentary her way. We are lucky that she does all of this. She deserves better; and respect her journey and how she choses to share it with us.

  • @BlairWaldorf2013

    I think it’s *time* for women to understand, the system has told men that they are *ENTITLED* to treating women the way they internally feel the system at large is treating *THEM* like an afterthought 🤷🏽‍♀️
    As long as the woman maintains her ‘place’ then the man can feel like he has some power in his life.
    That’s why so many of them are all over the internets acting up and out because women no longer even want to be *bothered* so that means they don’t have anyone to take their frustration out on.
    Also, in a particular community *survival* is always paramount and therefore even romantic partnerships become a zero sum game. That’s why the man used the host’s vulnerability against her because in our community it’s *always* about who can win in most men’s minds because they’re not ‘winning’ in society at large.

    she hit the nail on the head towards the end, dating today feels like people love to play games in hopes of winning someone or seeing where they can go/what they can get out of someone instead of just being real. and when you're upfront and honest about what you want & how you feel, they no longer wanna play the game bc now it's "too much". so tragic 😪

    Love the conversations around trust and having a safe space/person to share that with.
    I’ve learned to share my trauma experience(if ever) later in the relationship for the purpose of bonding… sharing trauma early on in my opinion gives some people a playbook to trigger us or be as they think you want them to be, rather than them just being who they are.
