Which of the 4 women can you relate to?


I can definitely relate to Robin. At one point I just wanted to be with a guy for his looks and well fit. Now that I'm older I'm 30 and I don't want to miss out on love so I've learned to lighten up a bit. I don't go for looks as much I look inside the person I've learned that there is no perfect guy.

robin definatly

Gloria. she wasn't all desperate as the rest of them, she sat back & chilled & let Marvin come to her. THE other 3 were running around in this movie like chickens with their heads cut off.

I never looked at it like that but you're right. Gloria wasn't desperate and she is the one that ended up with a man LOL. A good one at that ha!

But to answer the question I guess I could relate to ROBIN the most "...my weakness is pretty boys with big stick" *runs in shame*

she was sleeping with her babys father, the man who walked out on her and her child. she was pinning away at him not even dating any other dude because she was waiting on her ex's gay behind. She only moved on after she found out he was gay. I don't blame her son for calling her out on sleeping with his dead beat dad, how u gunna hook up with a man who rejected you and your own son?

lol gloria was the most desperate. If she didn't meet marvin i would have hated her but thankfully she redeemed herself.

reply

MrsMonroe Gloria may not have been as desperate as the other women but she looked real desperate when she was trying to get her deadbeat ex-husband to spend the night.

Bernadine. I mean I've never been married or had any kids but I have set fire to a car and cut my hair short.

lol ru ur not bernie?

reply

Bernie. I've never been married or cheated on, but I know what it feels like to have a man treating you like crap and dump you for someone else. I especially felt her pain when she was going thru all his stuff in the closet.

I can relate to Robin's quote about "not viewing men quite the same.".

Gloria. Despite wanting love and wanting to be loved, she never became desperate. So far I have never been desperate when it came to men.

I am a lioness. I will not cringe for them.

I love Gloria. Her character was so real. The scene when she meets the neighbor is one of my favorites in any movie EVER. I love love love when she realizes he's watching her walk away.
