Comedic actress Issa Rae, who is best known as the creator and star of The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl, is opening up about the pilot for her new TV show, I Hate LA Dudes.

The highly anticipated new show is a collaboration with Scandal creator Shonda Rhimes, and it’s name is no joke.

“I really do hate them,” says Rae in a recent interview with Vulture. “I hate the guys. I hate the mentality they have. Everyone’s so chillaxed, the way they speak and carry themselves. They’re very much laid-back in the sense that they feel like they don’t have to pursue you. Especially this generation, they don’t really court women anymore.”

Well, that sounds like some men everywhere! You can get more inside scoop about the show, including whether or not Issa will actually star in the show, over on Essence.

Are you a fan of The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl series? Will you be watching the new show when it hits ABC?

    women are certainly not women anymore.

  • TellingTheTruth

    there are not that many good women left anymore like there was years ago to meet as it is nowadays, especially with their very serious attitude problem and thinking that they are all that today too. such losers. it is just too bad that we don’t have women anymore like June Cleaver and Donna Reed again, since they were very committed to their men and accepted them for who they were.

  • huh

    Shonda Rhimes seems to have ZERO commitment or interest in portraying Black love, so maybe she is the right person for this project?

    LADIES the honest truth is that that courtship sh!t doesn’t work for the most part, plain and simple.
    Do this…Ask your male friends about their own personal ‘courtship’ episodes and the women that they’ve tried it with and I’ll bet at least 7 out of 10 of those stories are failed attempts. Simply put, men are going to do what gets results or at least what we think will bring results.

    Courtship, in American tradition (bringing flowers/candy, opening doors, consistently checking in/on, numerous dates paid for by the man, etc…), basically equates to kissing a lot of azz for a while as well as giving away ALL power to a woman. All of this with almost no investment from the woman AND while waiting (hoping) for sex and/or the promise of an exclusive relationship.

    Most men over the age of 25 have learned either consciously or subconsciously that this approach simply doesn’t work in most cases.

  • YES gAWD

    Awww….did the confident woman hurt your little feelings??? Sorry i dont sit around insecure about about what another woman will do. And you gathered that I have an attitude how exactly? Because i wont let men walk all over me afraid he will leave. Gods version of DOING for myself does not include being a doormat OR RUNNING UP BEHIND MEN. It invloves being the woman of purpose he has called me to be, being patient in his word. and nice try with the stereotypes I am a young unmarried woman starting my own company no kids (SINCE I AM NOT MARRIED : WHY WOULD I HAVE KIDS???) O OK…I dont run my life on what society does… so miss me with the antics. Now Im done….Go worry about being a MAN..and dont try to make me a woman, you will lose every time.

  • Nope

    I don’t think women from older generations are very impressed with the women of younger generations either ((which includes the 80′s babies).
