Kanye West and Amber Rose’s love affair has come to an end and Kanye is expressing his opinions on the experience and what he has learned from it. During a recent interview with Angie Martinez he was quoted as saying the following about his relationship with his ex:
“Yeah man, it was an amazing time and it came to an end….One of the greatest things that she showed me was just to be a nicer person because she was so disconnected from the concept of celebrity when I first met her. A celebrity could be talking to people crazy and everyone’s used to it at the label like, ‘He’s wildin’ out. It doesn’t matter.’ [Amber] be like, ‘What?! You just talked to your fans so crazy right now. I’m not even talking to you right now.’ I grew from that. I think that was the greatest growth that I got from that experience….My goal in life is to really have an amazing woman and have a family, but I think I had to go through these different things to grow.”
He said don’t expect him to go out with someone like Amber again:
“That was a one-off….I’m not trying to dive into anything unless I really, really think that I can marry this person. I look at this person and I say, ‘This is how I want my daughter to be.’”
What struck me about his statements is that Kanye made a typical male comment. He wants his daughter to be like his wife. Meaning that he wants his wife and daughter to possess certain lady-like qualities and to generally be good women. Now we could argue back and forth about whether or not Amber Rose was “lady like” enough but that is not my argument with Ye. My question is while he is expecting his dream woman to be a true woman in every sense, what is he willing to offer to her aside from his success?
He never once said that he feels that he is a good man and therefore DESERVES a good woman. He never once commented on his abilities as a husband, provider, protector etc.. This goes back to my original statement about men making this typical comment. They somehow feel that they should not be responsible for any internal growth on their end and being able to offer themselves as a fit husband to this dream woman that they desire and fee that they DESERVE. They expect for their wife to be this picturesque image of virtue and all that is pure and good in the world. While they continue to be hound dogs. Again this is not all men but a good number do fit into this category. A lot of men want a good woman in their lives but are unwilling to be the good man that she needs. How selfish is that?
This is just an observation I made from the statement. He seems to want his wife to be a good woman but the real question to ask is whether he is a good man and willing to be a good husband? Does he DESERVE a good woman? Not all men deserve a special woman like that because they have no idea how to be good to her and love her the way she DESERVES. Ladies no free handouts for these men in 2010. They get what they give. Feel me?
