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.

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!

[@UpdatedView]

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 🙏🏾

[@KLB1218]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your perspective!! People need it

[@wandaluyando5181]

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.

[@thebolb]

Replace marriage with a healthy relationship - everyone deserves that. JUST BE NICE. That's all....pick your battles. She fights them all, and it pains her to be nice.

[@sjg5994]

They're not, but yet wanna "stick and roll" constantly which makes them even more worse for marriage and then worse for a regular relationship. The ignorance has to stop and individuals need to keep their legs closed and open their minds.

Honestly I follow her on Instagram and I could tell he wasn't her equal. I can tell from her post that he didn't bring much to the relationship. I'm glad she let him go. Its ok to be single and unmarried. She shouldn't have to make herself small to accommodate a basic dude. She is 100% the prize ❤

[@stikkinixx]

When men say they like me because I challenge them, that is a 🚩 Not a deal breaker, but my eyes are wide open. A lot of people who say that are actually saying "I see *you* as a challenge that I want to conquer. This will be fun. Game on." They aren't interested in learning from you and becoming a team with you, you are the opposing team and they want to break you down and dominate you.

[@floydphillipsco]

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...

[@Hidden2u]

[@floydphillipsco]

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...

I needed this interview. I needed this comment section. Its all reassurance to what I'm feeling right now

[@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.

1:40:28 💯 Yes, our ancestral experiences & DNA play a huge part in the chasm between Black men & Black women... _AND_ it's also true that a lot of folks really just don't be friends. Close friendship before becoming partners is all I knew until my mid 30s when I started "dating from scratch." Then I started seeing all the games, ghosting, and goofiness people complain about. Love is always a gamble, but it's much harder to disrespect, disregard, and betray someone you consider a true friend.

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

Same… I feel like my own men are always in competition with me… even ones that are spoken for and they feel they know everything just because they are a man. I know not all black men are like this but I never experienced competition with Caucasian and Latino men, trying to control me or rule over me, they were always so supportive and wanted to see me win and wanted to learn from me and I learned from them. The black guys who wanted to date me it was always because of something I possessed that they wanted that they felt could make their life easy. They were opportunist and saw me as an opportunity to get what they want but I recognize it and shit it down from day one. Always trying to rush to get me in bed, talking about babies and wanting me to be the man, their mother, provider and protector. These guys were older than me but everything was my resources and sex. They mad bad choices in women and wanted me to fix it. Or if their significant other wasn’t giving them six they wanted to try and get it from me. Unbelievable!

It’s absolute bananas how I’m 49 and Amanda is 42 and I have had the exact same interactions with men.

You are in the same generation! Also, this has been going on forever. Has nothing to do with generational groups. 😊

Fantastic episode. @theamandaseales is not only an amazing artist but also a remarkable person. She's a true force. It was great that the hosts allowed her to fully express herself without interruptions. Great job! This podcast just gained a new follower.

This was SUCH a great interview!! Everything she stated is exactly on point and very helpful for me in my journey.

[@SahLenceTV]

This interview was just... wow. Insightful, intelligent, articulate, moving... All the things. I wish it was a longer conversation. Definitely hope she's back on again. I love her passion and simultaneously her ability to be objective yet still vulnerable. Some people are hell bent on misunderstanding her simply because she is bold and unapologetic and still acts with integrity in spite of fear, but these are some of the very things that make Amanda such a gem. Excellent interview.

I love Amanda! Say it like you mean it Sis! Give Amanda her flowers she's been in the game 30yrs. My girl is 🔥🔥

[@DShay-kz9fb]

Right!!!!! Way back since she was Amanda Diva…..she is such a friend in my head ❤

.....this ...has my laughing, crying, and WOW! Amanda Seales...we are > < --- everything she said. Consistency, people telling you who they are (AND WE SHOULD LISTEN. and exit stage left if you hear something that ain't you). You (we, us) deserve someone who accepts you as you are. You won't be "a lot" for the one(s) who is enough. Thank you ALL for the real conversation. I hope we all are and attract good love. ❤

First time watching! Loved it so much! You kept me company today while I was running errands, dinner and bed time! Thank you! It was such a great episode ! Thank you for the company! 🥰

[@BeautyyKilla]

I'm not sure how I found this episode, but I'm glad I did. I love Amanda, and I appreciated this conversation ❤

[@relationshiprestored5016]

Thanks for watching! ❤️🙌🏾

[@swatts888]

So many gems in this podcast. Especially the last part about Black men making it a priority to get therapy and figure out their stuff. We could be so further along. Sigh. Thank you all of you for sharing!

[@wandaba90]

As a recovering good girl who walked away from a toxic marriage 6 months back, I can relate to this! Also looooove Amanda!

[@angiechapp7545]

Sending love Amanda’s way. Saw her interview with Marc Lamont Hill and now this one and her eyes look so low and her energy seems more performative than authentic. I’ve followed her for some time and it seems her light is dimming. Sis I’m praying for u because you give so much I pray you get back what u give out 10fold. I know u ain’t all about the prayer thing but I’m still sending restoration your way. 💕

Cancers going thru a time currently. After this moon ...

[@alexandrahicks9855]

First time listener, and this was a great episode. Now following & catching up on the others!

[@caetechclub]

I honestly just love Amanda! She is so incredibly self aware, transparent, and well versed. It’s rare to hear anyone’s minimally filtered opinions in this day and age.

[@ayseferzan]

Watching over and over again. Love you guys❤

[@KJBrewer]

I remember "the reel" and it was freakin brilliant..and prophetic? Cause ppl did EXACTLY those things, smh. Love you, Amanda! Great pod episode. Praying your continuing healing, peace, and joy.

[@thethreeladiespodcast]

Good conversation, thanks! Amanda we rock with you regardless ❤

[@kingEyeSami]

This whole conversation made me feel seen and mad at the same time simply because in so many scenarios I felt like Amanda is me. Smart talented women, trying to me transparent and trying to communicate but the opposite sex receive it in such a weird way

[@tinikafails1889]

Now that was a great show!!! That was for the culture....fo real!!!! Love Amanda, Love Dre and Rhonda!! 10's across the board🥰

[@elvisjoelle]

The amount of times I had to rewind a couple times to really process and let some stuff just sit with me. Whew, this was a CONVERSATION.

[@nanaobben5166]

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS - such an easy watch...though it's late and I'm sleepy. Amanda always gets my attention!! Great, relatable conversation.😘

[@staylor3028]

Loved every second of this conversation! 👏🏾

[@maxmas9]

I liked seeing this side of Amanda and to hear her discuss kindness and softness. It's so necessary.

[@Rocioslane]

I saw the thumbnail and clicked on this video so damn fast 🏃🏻‍♀️

[@JB4C89]

Beautiful conversation ❤ definitely been where she is now in regards to healing. The smart woman/dumb girl thing is REAL, I wish her well!!
