For the past few months, Rihanna has telling interviewers that being single sucks.
Back in November, she sat down with Ellen:
“I’m not dating at all… I’m not necessarily happy being single. It’s not really that cool,” Rihanna told Ellen, in an episode set to air on November 21, Us Magazine reports. “It sucks, but it is what it is.”“My personal life is pretty much non-existent, which is not good, not for the long run. Not for me, not for her [points between her legs]. It’s not fun,” Rihanna joked. “That’s why I stay on Twitter a lot, so I can [talk] with my fans… Because I don’t get any booty calls.”
Then just recently, she doubled down on that sentiment:
“Single life is so overrated,” Rihanna, 24, said on Britain’s The Jonathan Ross Show. “It sucks. I have such incredible experiences in my life. You don’t want to live your life and then meet someone. You want to share your life with someone. That’s what I’m missing right now.”Though she insisted that she’s “not looking,” the “We Found Love” singer said she’d “love to date somebody cool, fun, funny.”
To be honest, she just sounds really lonely. That may explain some of her recent decisions.
In the world according to Rihanna, there are two types of people in the world:
* Type 1: Those who live their life and then meet someone.
* Type 2: Those who want to share their life with someone along the way.
Are you a Type 1 or a Type 2 Rihanna?

type 2 all the way!
but i think most ppl are a weird combination of both. they have as much fun as they want and when they finally feel like settling down or meet someone they change to type 2. not after they had all the lovely fun they wanted tho.
sorry, im just kinda disappointed at how so many people treat sex so casually now…

i’m in between. i have a long list of things i want to do in life, without having any concern for what my SO thinks. fortunately, i did a lot of them before meeting my boyfriend. and the ones i have left are things he will go along with

I tried once and not the dictator, though that screwed me over. I used that as more of an excuse to escape.
guest
i’ve been single for more than 8 mos and i realized, I am type 1. but i can become type 2 once i’ve met that person.

I think people are a mix. You should never wait for someone to fall into your life. The one you should be with catches you on the fly & walks with you. Rihanna should be very careful though. As an abuse survivor & an entertainer, there are people who will hurt you & trade you for a buck in a minute. Plus she is a role model to so many girls & I think she’s sending the wrong examples out. Meeting someone & getting married shouldnt be the ultimate goal in your life. If you cant learn to live on your own & not depend on people, you’ll become a user & be a drain on people. Not just with significant others but with people. (Not saying people will never be there to help & whatnot but you cant expect people to be around 24/7, you know?).
I had a friend like that. She would want to go out to eat or go to the movies but not alone so she would call me whining. I would go even when I didnt have money to spare because I felt bad for her but she wasnt a very good friend to me. She would laugh in my face when I got sick because of how I sounded then would think I was weird because I would take the day to myself to shop, eat out & see a movie. I told her it was because I was my own person & I’m not ashamed of being out by myself. Needless to say we werent friends long.

Type 1. If I meet someone I like and something happens, great, but if not, I’m not going to get upset about it, and I’m definitely not one of those people who’s constantly in a relationship.
guest
I AM a type 2, but ideally I would prefer to be a type 1. I would prefer to live my life freely without strings or emotional attachments, improve upon myself, strive for happiness as a single person non-dependent upon another for it, and achieve things in my life all on my own, without the support of anyone else’s help.
Sure, it’d be nice to have someone to share and support you through all that with…but I see perks to both sides. But yes. Type 1 beats it for sure. Totally depends on the type of person you are though.
(And I’m a Libra, so we’re in love with the idea of love. ;] )

Type 2, definitely.
guest
*sigh* seriously? Sounds like she needs to learn to love herself first.

Things like being single or being in a relationship only suck if you let them. When you’re alone you don’t sit there and bitch about how you’re alone. You work on yourself and if someone comes along while you’re busy taking good care of yourself, fantastic. If not, who cares. The best people that come into your life turn up when you least expect it. Sounds cheesy but it’s completely true.
guest
I’m Type 1 lol I don’t know, not really lookin but if it comes…why not?
I think Rihanna needs some Drake in her life.

I’m type two, i love love!
guest
definitely want to share. there are so many cool places I want to go and things I want to do but why do them alone when you can share that experience with someone?
guest
Maybe I’m just indecisive, but I’m probably Type 1.5.
I want to grow a bit by myself a bit -I think I learn best when I try and fail on my own. Hopefully, after I’ve grown to be a bit more like what I hope to be (in maybe 5, or maybe 10 years), I would love to find someone to share my life with.
guest
I mean, really, Rihanna. Get a dog and buy a vibrator. Boom. Problem solved.
guest
@winterEnds@xanga - hahahaha agreed.
i’m type 1. i’m too young, too independent, too unsure of who exactly i am/want to be, and too afraid of commitment to want to be in a serious relationship while i’m figuring out my life and checking things off my bucket list. i hope to find someone someday, but i don’t need someone now to make me happy. i’d just like a guarantee that someday i’ll find someone
guest
i used to be type 1, but after meeting my boyfriend , i`m a type 2
guest
Type 1.
I dated my husband for 3 years. During that time, I put myself through college and finished. I told him that I wouldn’t get married until I finished my degree. I also told him I wanted to be engaged for a year.
Both of those things happened, but in September we will have been married for 5 years. :)

People tend to be lonely when they’re alone. Just saying. And it makes sense and I agree with her. You don’t necessarily want to meet somebody after you’ve lived your life. What then? You tell them the cool stories and then it gets old?
No, you want to live it with them, reminisce on the fun you had, the memories and all that. From what I can see, people tend to stay together when they have a past.
guest
Two. I’ve already found the person I wanna share my life with! I wouldn’t want to share it with anyone else. Its great having that one person to adventure with.
guest
I would say most people are a bit of a combination of 1 & 2. I have my someone, so I get to experience new things with my guy, but even when I was single I kept busy with life. You have to keep going on with your life, single or not. It’s the only way to grow : ]
guest
Meeting someone or not is a part of life.

blah blah blah, whine whine whine, woe is me.
