Ask a Very Smart Brotha Live: What’s With All the Diva Dudes?

June 20th, 2012 - By madamenoire

Aisha: Why are men so slow to make up their minds when it comes to relationships? Women know moments into a conversation whether or not we want to get to know you without actually getting to know you.

D.Y.: Actually, a man knows immediately whether or not he considers a woman to be potentially relationship/marriage worthy. That judgment is actually made much quicker than the woman’s judgment about us. If a guy is slow to make up his mind, it just means he’s not completely into the woman he’s “considering.”

    that vivian chick really annoyed me unless he is treating that little girl better than ur own children u should be grateful u found a man with such an amazing heart.

    I find it hilarious how a lot of women think they have a monopoly on romantic desires, or “standards” for that matter. If a man doesn’t agree with the level of awesomeness a woman has (thinks she has) of herself, it’s not because it’s his ‘fault’, he’s immature, or that he’s a dog, etc. Maybe he’s just as into you as you’re into yourself.

    • Nope

      meant to say maybe he’s just NOT as into you as you are into yourself…..

    I think the second thing, this idea of “Diva Dudes” is sort of ridiculous. Everyone grows at their own rate for one. And for two, just because you are an adult does not mean you become automatically uneffected by your own past or by the emotional decisions of others that can effect you. I think one of the biggest myths in the modern era is that 1. there is a magical age at which we all become adults and 2. that becoming an adult means that we no longer allow ourselves to be effected by anything harmful or damaging to us. The truth of the matter is that the majority of us (talking 95% or higher) do not change very much once we’ve passed our early twenties. For instance, those who are irresponsible at 23 will most likely still be irresponsible at 50 but it simply wouldn’t be as noticeable to those around that person. We need to stop treating adulthood as a cure for things we don’t like in our lives. It is not a cure for drama, nor anger, nor foolish decisions, nor ignorant thoughts, nor an evolution for the emotional matrix which we all possess. In fact, the human brain tends to think a certain way until it is drastically altered from outside forces. The very fact that Jessica asked this question shows that she is also stuck in an emotional matrix just as the men she speaks of because she is unable to see the men who don’t do this or those same men in a different way.
