Actor Michael B. Jordan’s career continues to take off and he’s also quickly becoming somewhat of a sex symbol amid continuously nabbing movie roles.
One thing Jordan isn’t afraid to discuss is women and his opinions on dating, and he recently shared his views on women who sleep with men the first night in a recent interview.
When asked if he respects women who have no qualms sleeping with men on the first date, he tells Glamour Magazine:
“No. No. Maybe…but a little less.”
Jordan’s comments have been met with mixed reactions, and some women have pointed out that it’s unfair that men can engage in first date sex and not be judged so harshly. However, women are expected to basically live as nuns if they don’t want to get slapped with the “tramp” label at some point of their lives.
But what are your thoughts?
Not all men think like this though.
That is true. I’ve met some who honestly don’t care about that. And then there are those that do care.
Yeah, but the ones who do outweigh the ones who don’t. If ladies want to take a chance with the minority, go ahead. That just means you limit your prospects. I think men and women should wait a while before they have sex.
Oh please. I can’t stand men who have this ridiculous mentality. It’s just sex! We all have sex!
So would he like it if women also lost respect for him because he gave it up on a first date? Just asking.
I don’t think you quoted the actor correctly. You took his comments out of context. I think this site should post the whole article, then let the people decide. I will admit, I was put off by his “legs with a pulse” comment. However, he spoke the truth. Most men don’t make long term commitments to women they’ve slept with on the first date. I think Michael meant he doesn’t respect the woman as a long term partner, for himself. Steve Harvey made a whole movie about it, “The 90 Day Rule.” Even the Millionaire match maker warns her clients not to have sex on the first date. I think Michael should have said something else. Just to save himself grief.
My best advice to anyone who is wanting to get married is to take your time. Don’t rush anything and really get to know a person before it gets physical.
The double standards are real ladies. Unfortunately if you want to get wifed up by a man who isn’t a professional athlete, you have to have some class and make sure you don’t act slutty. Sleeping with a man on the first night will turn them off with the quickness.
I think you’re right.
Isn’t it 2014? Why are women still caring so much about what a man thinks about your sexuality? When I feel like having sex, I have sex! And I do it on my own terms because no one owns my body but me! The quicker you stop caring so much, you’ll probably end up with someone who isn’t a sexist pig. Free yourselves. Ain’t nothing wrong with some good old sex.
If only it was that simple sis.
But it is. And that’s my whole point. And do you not see all these women who have been coined whores getting married nowadays? Let’s face it. Most people are whores! No need to keep up the charade. Sex is part of being human.
I like this guy a lot and he is just stating his opinion. Women and men are judged by different standards is it right NO! Women are always judged to a harsher standard than men because women to me are more valuable per se. But it’s life I wouldn’t respect a man or a woman who sleeps with anybody on the first night.
I swear it’s like some of these men don’t know what they want. They want a woman who acts like a saint in public, but acts like a whore in the bedroom. Well you have to learn those whore mannerisms by having lots of sex right? LMBO
LOL exactly! They are so confused it’s hilarious.
Honestly, I feel like no one should be having sex on the first date. It’s way too many STDs out here for that and a condom isn’t 100% effective.
At least he’s being honest. A lot of men will lie and say they respect women who let a man smash on the first date but they really don’t.
Right! I don’t see anything wrong with what he said. That’s how he feels!
Agreed.
He’s just speaking his truth! Of course not all men think this way! But I couldn’t sleep with someone on the first date. That’s just not me.
I couldn’t sleep with someone on the first date either. He seems more like a traditional guy so I respect his opinion. I would rather a man like this than a man wifing up smuts.
Some men really don’t care. And some do. Men aren’t monolithic creatures. They all have different opinions and behaviors. It’s time we understand that.
THIS.
The only people that can call anyone a slut are virgins. No one else has room to talk. Just saying.
*sits*
He’s just one man.
Eh he has a right to his opinion.
Different strokes for different folks. Everyone is different and entitled to their own opinion. Just make your decisions wisely whatever you do.
It may be 2014 but that doesn’t mean that thought shouldn’t go into possibly life altering decisions. In some cases sex can be sex. But in most cases it is not. Most women (some men) are not emotionally in tuned enough to have casual sex on the first date and allow it to be just that. With all of the viruses and diseases running rampant it should be more important to know (and prove) your partners status instead of just jumping into bed for such a short amount of pleasure (or not). Sex even with condoms can lead to unwanted STDs and even an unwanted pregnancy. My question is regardless of someone’s respect for you or opinion of you, is it worth it? Isn’t your own self respect more important than what someone else thinks? If you can look yourself in the mirror with the decisions that you make nothing or no one else should matter. My suggestion is to think before you act.
