Most women say they don't date for emotional reasons, but Taraji is actually thinkin about her future and success and I applaud her reasoning to just doing her.

lol love her response I 100% agree although I'm 19 years old . I agree whole heartily

[msjdavisxo]

There is nothing "high standards" about that! That's what you call being smart and aware!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[rodentcafeteria]

She got the right attitude.  You reach a certain age, you don't have time for games.

I love Taraji! She has such a wonderful personality. She's funny, genuine, sensible and very likable. I love watching her interviews

[knowthyself]

I love this lady, she is truly a queen; and carrys herself with with poise, humility, and confidence all at the same time AND she is soooo down to earth! That my friends is very, very hard to find. My Auntie carrys herself in a similar way but my aunt is older (but looks like shes 20) If you ever have a friend or family member like Taraji, NEVER let them go! My aunt is the best!

Honestly this is also what I do! I am 23 going on 24 and I can proudly say I have never flaunted a 'boyfriend, 'Man friend', 'exes' or what ever on my social media pages! Even when they send me relationship requests on FB, i never accept. I can never be caught using a bf's photo as my dp! Until he puts a ring on it, then I can flaunt him everywhere!

[dimpleeyes]

💖💖That's my girl.😊 Well said Taraji, well said.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[pinkyshin]

I actually admire her how she speaks about her son and she's just different she don't get her self involve in drama. The media trying so hard to get some confusion on her and they can't cause she just keeping it moving. You do your thing Taraji

[Phat_]

As a grown woman, I see no lies told! 👏👏👏👏Well said, Ms. Henson.

[chastemade]

we all need 2 be carrying ourselves in that way ladies..😊

[ivyvines]

I really admire this young lady.  She is so "spot" right on.

[theyearofgreatness]

Taraji is simply saying she dates, but she does so privately. I knew some people would miss that. Lol When the guy is serious about her, that's when she'll flaunt the relationship. If she automatically publicizes, some dude is basically just getting free press. Lol Seriously though, dating in the public eye is not a realistic way to date. Well, maybe when that's what you expect it's cool, but dating this guy and that one isn't fun when you're ready to settle down. So many celebs often complain of privacy. Well, she's proven that you can date and no one has to know. Plus, it's just honorable as hell that she considers how her actions affect her son.

So many people also complain of not being able to find quality mates, but then choose the one that everyone has had and who clearly has questionable morals. Like what?! There's Taraji and a bunch of other male and female celebs out there that are really good people, and they're single. Somebody better out a ring on it. Lol

[CaribbeanAthiest]

I know that's real, and right Taraji! she's old fashioned/old school with morals, values, and good sense.

[sellyg]

finally! This woman gets what i've been trying to tell my friends over the years.

[focusedwon]

Love it, Love her and the response is brilliant!!! Steve had no comeback on this one. For he couldn't have said it any better! No claim, no claim, no claim. For the ring does cost something. Dating costs almost nothing! Exspecially when your love, loyalty and time is wasted. Then your back in the game again. Either claim me or don't out any labels on me!

[naturalcurlyhair]

That's so A real good woman does not have time for games and Thankyou for being a True example of a Queen.

[Yehyeh]

I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Such a beautiful, motivational woman!!

[audreysimpson]
