Wendy Williams is hot on the market after separating from her soon-to-be ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, who reportedly had an affair and a kid with another woman. With Wendy living the single life, she’s keeping an eye out for a new boo and to no surprise….
Wendy got demands.
Ms. Williams went on Sway in the Morning with very specific ideas about dating. Some of her thoughts made sense while others caused quite a stir amongst millennials in the Global Grind office.
At 55, Williams is definitely old enough to know what she wants, but when it comes to gender roles or something as simple as men being circumcised, she contrasted with some of the youngins. Global Grind writers who date men gathered online to debate Wendy’s questionable views.
Peep what Kiyonna (anthonykiyonna), Sukii (sukii), and Royce (rdunmore13) had to say below, then hit the flip for more reactions to Wendy’s strong views (including her demand for a circumcised peen).
On guys opening the door for women
Wendy: “You’ll walk me to my car and you’ll open the door. I won’t even have to say anything. And I’m one of these types of girls, I will stand there and wait.”
rdunmore13: I don’t need any of that.
anthonykiyonna: I prefer it it. Shows respect.
sukii: It’s nice. I honestly don’t encounter men who don’t hold doors open…so I never feel the need to announce that as a requirement. It sort of just happens lol.
rdunmore13: Truuuu.
anthonykiyonna: Lol yup I agree
sukii: Sometimes I hold the door for them, just to trip ’em up. The reactions are hilarious. Men will almost refuse to walk through the door. Try it sometimes.
On men paying for dinner
Wendy: “Technically speaking, the one who asks [for the date] is the one who pays.”
rdunmore13: Do ya ask guys out on dates and if you do, does that mean you’re paying? I’m an equal opportunity kinda guy.
sukii: I don’t ask men on dates but if I did, yes I would pay. I ask guy friends to go out with me and I pick up the tab when that’s the case.
anthonykiyonna: I’ve asked guys out on dates. But that doesn’t mean I’m paying. If I ask him out. We can split.
rdunmore13: Now if someone offers to pay for me, why deny them that pleasure?
sukii: Lmao, where I grew up, it’s important that men show they are serious/interested…or you can very EASILY end up assuming they are. Then you out here in love with a fu** boy lol. So you have to come to me and you have to come correct.
On types of men
Wendy: “I like a bossy guy…I like a man to be a man.”
anthonykiyonna: I don’t know what it means anymore for a man to be a man.
sukii: Didn’t her ex boss her around so much she let him have a mistress on the side? I don’t need that energy. If a man being a man means respecting me when I speak as well, then yes be a man.
anthonykiyonna: I think we’re living in a different time and phrases like that don’t apply to today.
sukii: Right.
rdunmore13: Wendy is soooo gender roles. Like this isn’t new for her.
sukii: She is. It’s annoying. She’s annoying. Not a fan.
rdunmore13: She be giving advice on Ask Wendy and I’m like *side eye.*
anthonykiyonna: Lmaooo me too. I’ve literally said to the tv once “girllll. Don’t listen to Wendy.”
rdunmore13: RIGHT. But I also understand there’s women out there that like “traditional men.”
sukii: Being traditional is a thing… but Wendy makes it seem like you’re less of a man if you aren’t bossy or macho and that’s not cool to me.
rdunmore13: Yea, I feel you.
On professional women
Wendy: “There’s so many power girls out here these days…and a lot of them do not know how to keep that attitude of power back at the office. Like a man likes a woman to be a woman, in my opinion. They don’t always have to be reminded that you’re the CEO of whatever, whatever. Except when you have to pull that out every once in a while.”
sukii: I’m honestly disgusted by that statement. It might as well say “stay in a woman’s place.”
anthonykiyonna: I’m just tired of the idea that women have to adjust who they are just to keep a man. Foh.
sukii: Me too. I think in general, everyone should try to be humble in their relationships. That’s a human thing, not a woman thing. And show out when you want to, sis.
anthonykiyonna: Agreed.
rdunmore13: Wendy thinks women just come in the bedroom and are like “hey boo, just a friendly reminder, I’m a CEO.”
sukii: Right.
anthonykiyonna: And if he can’t handle it, that speaks volumes about him. Not the woman.
sukii: Exactly. Im not looking for a man to boss me around. Im looking for someone who can handle this ambition. Periodt.
anthonykiyonna: And match it.
sukii: Amen.
On uncircumcised peen
Wendy: “You have to be circumcised. And if I start to like you, I just ask right out.”
anthonykiyonna: *Coughs uncontrollably* Gotta agree with Wendy there.
sukii: LMAO. As long as your penis is washed properly, Idc.
rdunmore13: Now I ain’t gonna lie, no discrimination against the uncircumcised, but a circumcised pen is a better visual aesthetic.
sukii: Yes it definitely looks nice.
anthonykiyonna: I think sex life is an important part of a relationship. So you should get to decide what you won’t accept.
rdunmore13: But also, Wendy said she asks that question on a first date. That’s too much.
anthonykiyonna: Wayyyy too much lol.
rdunmore13: Like an uncircumcised peen is not a deal breaker miss.
anthonykiyonna: Definitely a deal breaker for me.
sukii: But she’s seasoned…she ain’t trying to waste time.
anthonykiyonna: Very true.
rdunmore13: That’s exactly what she said too. She was like, “I’m 55. I ain’t got time.”
sukii: LMAO…I feel that. If I’m 55 and leaving my husband because he and his longtime mistress are thriving without me, Ima come with a list of requirements and check them off as we go.
rdunmore13: Touche. This does make me wonder do the uncircumcised face a stigma…we’ll find out next time on Ask Wendy.
