this is what confuses me...so folks are transfixed with the negative aspects or prince? so what!!!

i just dont understand comments like:



why? its just something someone wanted to wax on on an online forum. if you disagree, state it...if you think the subject isn't worthy of attention? why are you posting and bumping the comment up?

i think the fact that i had zero interest in the original question posed within this thread and yet more fascinated by the responces it elicited speaks volumes to how unworthy the original question was...

just saying...

Actually he seems like he would be nice, just a very strong minded opinionated person..which is not really a bad thing at all. Maybe he is nicer if he is friend and not your man though. But hey if Prince is attracted to skinny women than that is just what he is attracted to...he has that right...I know I like what I like, but yeah when you are as rich as he is some of those guys just develop this air of snobbory about them, even with women. So who knows what he is REALLY like.

Under no uncertain terms do I believe he's "nice."

I don't have a problem with the thread. I was disagreeing with the response mike wrote telling someone to take Prince's **** out their mouth (funny how you respond to me and not that deragatory remark). The point is it's easy to tell a fan to do that, yet his haters are just as fixated on prince the same, but for different reasons.

i wasn't arguing against your comment..kinda just expanding on it...or so i though.

LOL!
and I am sure you are younger than him by at least a decade and he's Black too.

Let 'em eat cake - marie antoinette

men act wierd especially when their partner is expecting their child. it's the most natural behaviour because men are not the ones that get pregnant, they have to make sure it's their genes. (from my evolution studies)

In an interview with a vegan magazine (can't remember which one), Prince stated it was Mayte who turned him on to being a vegan. He went on to say that she was a great cook. I don't think Prince is a mean person. I do believe that his intentions are good, but that sometimes people may not perceive them as such. Ever done something in which you had the best intentions but then someone turned around and questioned your motives or questioned what you did? Keep in mind that there are always two sides to a story, and that the truth lays somewhere inbetween the two sides. I am not saying Prince is without faults, because we all have them. As far as how Prince acts towards his women, I would think that the biggest issue his women have with him is that Prince seems to get hyperfocused on his art and they may feel he doesn't care or may feel that he is ignoring them. He seems to have a lot of ADD traits and one of the problems in relationships for people with ADD is that they have to constantly be stimulated. When a relationship first begins, it's awesome because of the excitement, but as the relationship moves along and settles into a routine, they become bored. It's not that they are bored with person, or even with the relationship, but rather that they need that excitement to keep them focused fully on it. It's also not that they don't love the individual still, because they do. They enjoy the thrill of the chase. So they may even start flirting with someone else to get that thrill. A lot of adults with ADD often do have affairs because of that. It doesn't mean they stop loving the person, or are even looking for someone to take their place, but rather it's that excitement they crave.

There is a good book out about ADD that when I read it, the first person I thought of was Prince. I'll have to get the name of the book later because I can't find it right now. But in it, it describes a person who has difficulty focusing on one thing, and is apt to move from project to project without fully completing the first project. In relationships even, during sex, their mind is going constantly and they find it hard to linger because they become distracted easily. They may hyper focus on something, shutting out those closest to them and their partner may feel unloved or uncared for, but that's far from the case. It's just the hyperfocus helps them to deal with the constant need for stimulation, and the constant thought process that never seems to shut off. (This may be why Prince doesn't sleep at night.)

So I think for Prince, he will need a woman who won't mind being alone when he's hyperfocused, won't mind being ignored while he "caves" (they tend to isolate themselves alot), will be understanding and help him when he finds himself needing more stimulation to find something to focus that need for stimulation on, and will be strong when he flirts and help him to focus that attention on her by making it exciting for him.

Just my .02.

True. ButI have already confronted mike1 about his "I heard Prince treats women like sh*t what do you think?" threads/post. He seems fascinated with the subject of how Prince treats women (he started the Sinead O'Connor thread and has asked Robin and Michael B. if they knew of P abusing women. Seems as if his mind is already made up on the subject and he wants to lure others into discussing it. Like I said before if P abuses women, he needs help but up until now most if not all these claims have been ubsubstantiated with the exception of Carmen and the makeup thing which was the interview I saw. I think most people on this site have heard of his alleged treatment of Mayte around the time she was pregnant and had the baby but you can't just go believing everything you read and come on here saying "What do you think? It doesn't matter what anyone thinks until its proven to be true.

I think that you hit this right on the head. I have always thought that Prince was either ADD/ADHD. I have a 18 year old son that is ADHD and I can see the same behavior. It was VERY hard for him in school...he was BORED all of the time and found it hard to focus in class, because his mind was all over the place with other ideas. If you find the name of the book I would like to know it so that I can purchase it. My son is brilliant he has not found where to focus all of that energy yet. I think that music woul be good for him. I have noticed that ADD/ADHD people can play the heck out of the video games...because they are always stimulated and have to think the whole time. He would buy a game and play it that day and then beat it.

His relationships are the same. It is fun at the beginning and then he gets bored and it is ot fun anymore. He says that they want more than he can give them at this time(he is young), and the girls get comfortable and clingy. I can see that he will need someone like you described aboe. my mother did not understand my relationship with my son as I learned that I also had to give him his space and let him "cave" when he needed to and then come to me when he was ready. he loves me dearly but he does not have to be all up in my grill like my 6 year old does. My mother thought that I was ignoring him. I had to explain that it was how "our" relationship worked. I think that I may be ADD myself as I am the same with my relationships also. Not just with men but my friends also. I like to alone especially when I am focused on something. At the beginning of a relationship it is fun and wonderful and the adreniline is going and then after a few years it dies down and I get bored...but that does not mean that I do not love that person any less, it means that we need to find a way to put the spark back in the relationship.

Work can be hard sometimes because my mind can wander...especially when I am listening to music. I tend to get my work done fast and early and then I am bored the rest of the day and day dream. I have had to learn to pace myself with work or a task. It is hard because you never feel that you are being ctimulated or challenged enough.

Sorry to get long winded. I agree with everything that you said. Please send me a note if you get the name of that book.

I know he's Black!! Does he??

I was making a "joke" (kinda) about his preference for women of other races!

And before anybody gets their panties in a bunch--yes, I know the handful of Black women he's dated and yes, I know that his dating tastes are his business and yes, I know that Prince likes beautiful women (of all races, right?) and here are a bunch of emoticons so that you can understand me, since words no longer seem to convey humor around here:

Well Prince has problems just like everyone else. What he did with Mayte is his buisness. Yet It is sick, but remeber we are dealing with Prince. Whta I mean is u have 2 b ready 4 that type of ackwardness. Now I dont know him I have no idea but dang waht can we do?
WHAT CAN WE SAY?
NOTHING
Nothing at all.
What happened has already happened and we cant change that. Im 14 telling u this. Yeah Its wrong,completely mad but It's also Prince.

The Mojicas did a two part interview with a UK newspaper called "The News of the World" it featured alot of comments about what prince made Mayte go thru when she was pregnant and how she would sneak chicken when she was out having her nails done and wipe her hands with alcohol so he couldnt smell the grease from the chicken. I guess it will exsist someplace on line.
I think alot of it is true and I feel really sorry for Mayte.

Anyone got a link to the interview?

how much did they get paid for this interview?

hey..you're catching on!

Jiminy I'll ask my husband when he gets home from work what the name of the book is. He has it at work with him. He's ADD and it's interesting to live with someone who is like this. It really keeps you on your toes finding new ways to keep them stimulated mentally because they do become bored easily. But we've been together 6 years now (October 9) and he says it's still exciting, so I guess I'm doing something right. lol But what intrigues me is that at work, he really has to work at staying focused, but he manages to do so and can hyperfocus on his work when he needs to. At home is where things get hard for him and he becomes very disorganized. I have to remind him several times a month to make sure to pay this bill or that one, because he can forget very easily. It's not that he means to, but that he either thinks he's paid a bill (and it may be that he paid it the month before) or that he remembers he has to pay the bill and then gets sidetracked easily and forgets. It is a challenge at times, but I love him and will do whatever necessary to help him and myself remain strong and steady in our relationship. I know how frustrating it must be for your son. My husband explains it like a radio station that's not quite fully tuned into one station and you keep getting this feedback from several stations at the same time, and the problem is you can't shut it off or put it fully on one station. To me, I think that would drive me insane to be that way all the time. He just can't turn off. So please hug your son for me, and tell him he's not alone. As soon as I get the name of that book, I'll post it to you.

Thank you Little Red for getting back to me. I will give my son a hug. I honestly think that most people with ADD/ADHD are geniuses anyway. They tend to be able to think out of the box and are hypersensitive to things, and have great ideas. They are dreamers all of the time.

Mayte319 said:

If this is true, poor thing! She should have been able to eat what she felt was best when she was pregnant. Then again, I don't know how much I believe the Mojica sisters.

Mayte319 said:

That seems weird that she would want to eat chicken if she was a vegan...

LittleRedCorvette said:

A lot of that sounds like being a Gemini.

I do not have ADD, but I'm a total Gemini--I get very bored with things. If I find something I like (e.g. an artist, musician, etc) I will read everything I can find about them. I used to get in trouble all the time in school because I was not challenged enough and bored with the work. I think Prince is very smart (not just musically) and has so many ideas that he wants to try that he can't get them out fast enough. Especially when he was younger.

jone70 said:

hellooooo, she was not a vegan. Prince said that she was in that interview with that Veg magazine and claimed she inspired him to go veg .... as usual, he was lying... He made her go veg becuz that is what HE was doing. When are you all gonna get it? You don't go from being a vegan and so-called inspiring someone else to go vegan to grilling steaks in a mufuggah's back yard just like that. He claimed so many things were her idea and claimed she influenced to him to yada yada yada... it was all b.s. He was the sole decision maker in that marriage. It ain't no secret that Prince was the string-puller when it came to Mayte. She did and said whatever the hell he told her to.

alwayslate said:

I couldn't care less who was eating what when. I just made an observation about something that seemed contradictory. No need to get so worked up about it.

Oh yeah, I believe it. It's bad but honey I've heard he did a lot worst to her.

mikek1 said:

Let's stay outta P's mariage (and if he DID do that, shame on him)...

What Baby did Mayte and prince have a baby and where is it? I know I am late on this but I thought that it died or something? after the Oprah show I am so lost. Please inform

DIAMONDJ said:

The baby boy died was allowed to die a natural and peaceful death about a week after being born with severe birth defects, Pfiefer syndrome. It is said he needed life support and his parents (Prince and Mayte) felt this was not the life their son deserved and so they stopped fighting the inevitable and allowed him to go peacefully.
The interview with Oprah was most likely a few weeks after the baby's death and although Prince continued with his music business and went on Oprah to advertise his new cd, Crystal ball, he wanted to avoid the personal questions that Oprah and other news organizations were asking... so Prince hid the truth about his son.
