And in meeting men and dating a lot of successful men, none of them would ever, ever talk about how exciting it is that I've invested in properties or would ever even want to come to see my house at all.

It was very much, so no, just come over here.

It felt like all my accomplishments were minimized.

And so I realized, I don't know who...

What I was thinking growing up, thinking that, like, me being accomplished and independent would attract other successful men, or successful men, and just realizing, wow, I think it deters them.

It intimidates them.

I agree with that.

Because I used to feel that way, too.

Like, I used to think, he don't care that I got my degree.

I pay my own bills.

No, men do not care about that.

I always say, just get rid of your shit, because they like girls without anything.

Wow.

Just get rid of your shit.

If you want a man that bad, I don't want one that bad.

I'm keeping my shit.

Can we really talk about it?

I'm not getting rid of my big dogs.

They say that's another thing that scares men away.

Like, okay.
