Stacy Dash Proves that Being Beautiful Does Not Make Finding Love Easier
The other day, Stacey Dash visited the Wendy Williams Show, and opened up about her new "relationship" with Jamie Foxx, being single again at 43, and more. She also revealed to Wendy that this is the first time in her life that she's been single, because she always felt that she needed a man to "define" her and to make her "feel beautiful":
I’m actually back out there [on the dating scene] for the first time in my life,” Stacey revealed. “Since I was 17, I’ve never been single. I think a lot of it was me needing a man to define me and I’m finally a point where I felt I wanted to find myself and it’s so exciting.”
Wendy: You mean, you needed a man to tell you were worthy, to tell you that you were pretty?
“Yes. Actually, I just said that to my dear friend a couple of weeks ago that I realized that I don’t feel beautiful if a man is not telling me I’m beautiful. And there’s something wrong with that. That’s not how it should be so now I’m going to be the one that feels beautiful because I think so.
Because of her self described low self esteem, she also admitted to having slept with all of her now ex-husbands on the first date:
Yeah, you know what happened was I slept with all my husbands on the first date, they said, ‘Marry me,’ I said, ‘Yes.’ …I’m not doing that anymore. At this particular time the kitty is being held hostage.
Its shocking to see that someone as beautiful as Stacey Dash would admit that she has low self-esteem and feels the need to have a man around her to be secure; however, this seems to be something that a lot of women are going through. If women like Stacey Dash, Lisa Raye and even Halle Berry are admitting their insecurities and having issues with men, this is definitely proof that being beautiful does not guarantee that you will have it easier when it comes to love and relationships.
“Being thought of as “a beautiful woman” has spared me nothing in life. No heartache, no trouble. Beauty is essentially meaningless."- Halle Berry
Check out Stacey Dash's interview in its entirety below via Naked with Socks On:
There are so many women out there who feel the need to always be with a man in order to feel complete. Society encourages it and even our parents encourage it, but being alone for a while can definitely be healthy, and sometimes necessary in order to find out who we truly are. We wish Stacey the best.
