Michelle Buteau, Tasha Smith & Garcelle Beauvais On Overcoming Insecurities, Loving Yourself + More

[@beverleyreid7572]

I see Michelle Buteau and I'm there. The show was amazing. Watched it in one sitting and could not get enough. I hope there is more coming.

[@lavidaloca2344]

It was just perfect. I love how they wove in real life ish and handled it with perfect tact and maturity 👌 I love there wasn't your typical drama and the characters were so on point. It's crazy how perfect this series was to me.

Tasha needed her own interview🤣 I love the show, cant wait for season 2.......... Garcelle is always so graceful.

I love tasha , she just so full of energy

[@ashanyc9146]

No wonder she single big mouth

[@readyalways1414]

Me too BIG DOGGIE 💯👣

[@resilientred1699]

I’m over 50 and my mom gave me the same advice, to date, as Tasha mentioned. Mom said, “you don’t have to have sex with everyone, but it’s important to date. I didn’t listen tho. My husband and I have been together since I was 18. I think we could’ve identified and resolved a lot of our issues along the way, quicker, had I dated more b/c I would’ve been able to articulate what I wanted and needed earlier on and more efficiently due to having more experience with different people. Great advice, I think.❤ Great show.

[@nellyc1002]

I just told my teenager daughter this ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️💯 don’t put all your eggs in one basket!

[@simplyphillipbrown]

I love Tasha. I could imagine the stories that she has to tell, the history.

[@Bivalvia]

I have already watched the show twice. Once by myself and another with my husband. Felt like a modern Living Single. The characters are so earnest. They lovw each other and themselves. Michelle is a blessing.

[@Sunshine3butterflies]

I literally just finished this season last night and seeing them tonight is magical! 🤩 love this!!

[@markiathomas5284]

What is it called?

[@Sunshine3butterflies]

@@markiathomas5284 Survival of the Thickest

[@TamTamtl]

What Tasha Smith says about dating is real. As women, we should date more until we find the perfect partner for us. The issue is that men tend to judge women when they do so. Which is unfortunate. But that is reality. When I first started going out on dates when I was younger, my first dates ended up being toxic & immature. If I would've stuck with them just for the sake of being in a relationship, I would've been freaking miserable today.

[@RamoBlast]

Tasha Smith spoke from the heart

[@vante9588]

If this is the paradigm then wouldn't it be the wisest for a woman to not date around until she has a better understanding of herself giving her the best chance to be able to judge man's character without giving herself up to men than don't deserve her? Like men play the numbers and volume game, so wouldn't it be more effective to do the opposite as a woman to counter balance this?

[@Ms76Cocoa]

⁠@@vante9588dating doesn’t equate to “giving herself up to men”, as in sex. If that’s what you mean. You can date and not have sex. Dating is getting to know someone. Another way I’ve heard it said is dating is gathering data about a person. Date first to determine if you want to be in a relationship with them.

[@vante9588]

@@Ms76Cocoa ahh okay I see your point on that. Let me clarify. I'm not saying it fully equates to it, but I am saying it's part a of dating for most people. Especially in the USA of now. I think the strategy she speaks of is hard to execute as a woman because most men will assume that the same guys that you collected data from also got your body at some point too anyways. This is because that's the culture these days, so men's general assumptions will align with that whether it's true or false. Like If a woman goes on many dates she is perceived as promiscuous and will be treated as such EVEN if she truly isn't. The same way a man with a 96 civic will be perceived as broke even if he is truly wealthy. Unfortunately perception overrides everything at face value. I have a daughter and I really try to give this deep thought to be able to help guide her to a respectable man in the future if that's what she wants. So I lead by example by treating my wife like the way I would want a man to treat my daughter so her baseline model is that. BUT unfortunately life isn't as simple as this, but it's my best chance for her in the future.

[@Ms76Cocoa]

@vante9588 Unfortunately, sometimes you can't win for losing. I realize "dating" means different things to different people. I'm just supporting the thought of the original commenter on dating until you meet someone you are in alignment with, as opposed to just jumping into a relationship. To each their own on what people choose to do with their bodies, but dating does not equal sex for everyone. Thanks for the respectful dialogue.

I've already watched this series on Netflix! I'm from the South and there is nothing like a NYC TV show. NYC is the heartbeat of the world. I love the diversity and love exemplified in this show. It is definitely a romcom. Although this panel is of women, there is another main character that is a manly man. It's such a fun show.
