Nelly also tackled the “why are so many smart and beautiful black women are single” question pretty gracefully.

“This is just my opinion. I think some girls want the perfect guy. I’m not saying he doesn’t exist, he just has to exist for you. It’s not going to exist for society…and for you to say “this is the perfect guy“.

“We interpret relationships wrong a little bit. Instead of ‘Do we look right in society’s eyes?’, it should be ‘Does he look right in MY eyes? Does he take care of me..make me feel special?’ He may not be 6′2 broad shoulders and all that…but I’ve seen girls turn down a great guy because he doesn’t look the part.”

“Then you got the guys who look the part, but don’t act the part. It’s just about coming up with that balance. Society has also put us in a rut–either brothers are in jail…or don’t like girls no more. To each his own.”
