How come he can't keep a marriage or relationship going 4 shit.?

Who ever said he was an expert on women?

You do understand that there's a difference between fiction (lyrics) and fact (life)...right?

Prince and Mayte's marriage did last about 3 years,

but: maybe he's just not the marrying kind,

maybe he just want sex, no marriage..

Or maybe he's secretly married today already, who knows,

or maybe the 2 past marriages are enough,


we can't read his mind... this is just speculation..

Prince could be considered "an expect on women" because he's clearly in touch with his feminine side as well as his masculine. It takes 2 to tango in any relationship and whilst Prince might not have been successful, millions out there aren't either.

I think the problem is that, few, including Prince, have had good role model families to follow.

How do you know? Because he wrote, "I got two sides and they're both friends"? Or because of the Oprah interview where he said they found another personality in him that was a woman? In that same interview, he also gave the impression that his son was still alive.

It is well established that this man will manipulate himself and others to keep his image and worldview intact.

No none of that. In my rather large network or people that I know, I compare the way he dresses, what he sings about, his external look and the way he hangs out with women holding hands with everyone ( a girlie thing to do.) He's far more in touch with his feminine side than your regular standard male who is too busy "being a man." Look at your other regular pop rock stars. Van Halen, U2 etc, they don't dress or show anything feminine about their character at all. whether that makes him "an expert" as I said, he "could " be considered...denoting possiblity, not fact.

Most women only find Dutch Ovens funny the first time.....

So...because most rockers adopt a macho stance and Prince dresses like a girl (mainly for effect), that means he's more in touch with his feminine side?

Please. Again, it's a calculated attempt on his part to make women think he "understands" them.

Some women may fall for it, but as a certain character once said, I'm "too cool fo' dat!"

Ok, so he's not an expert on women, or in touch with his feminine side, he just manipulates himself and others to portray this image. That could be true as well.

I must've missed that Press Release calling him an "Expert on Women".

He's a musician, not Dr. Ruth!!!

life don't imitate music yo

Who cares?! How many posts bring up the same topic?!
Bring on the MUSIC!!!

Dating and sex are the easy parts of a relationship. All that stuff happens in the moment. Thats the part that Prince is likely good at because he is a romantic.

But the longer two people hang, the more they have the potential to grow in different directions and want different things out of their lives.

Add to that life with Prince cant be anywhere near normal - and imagine the stress of the odd friends, off hours, women in the periphery that want to f*ck your man, etc.

And money has also got to be a stressor. Economically, Prince can have whatever he wants. That has got to make alot of women who are in relationships with him feel like they cant contribute on the same level.

When you tell a woman, "Yo... just look cute. I got the rest.", alot of women cant handle that. They want to be part of the struggle.

I deeply believe that marriage isn't for everyone...and that just may be the case with him.

If both people wanna be married and are willing to put time effort and energy into the relationship, their common goals, their physical beings and are willing to spend time together, it has a decent shot.

But you have no control over your partners pre-marraige history or family. And you gotta be willing to swallow that.

There are alot of people that have been used, abused and mistreated. You then put those people in relationships and you never know how its gonna turn out.

Good point also.

hunny. we are human beings. we were not built with such independance. EVERYONE has the capability of living life and having SOMEONE walk into it through destiny.
I think this is a corruptive lifestyle he has chosen, orrr sadly because of what evil he has let done him wrong.

Prince has had a friend in me for nearly 30 years.

Prince will always have that...I would never let him leave this life without people knowing that somebody really loves Prince.

I believe Prince and I should be married right away. I can handle this life. And he needs me, he just isn't sure yet. I have to teach Prince what Real means.

I Love Prince...He needs a Wife to lay beside him at night...We should hurry. SOS! short short short Long Long Long short short short. Does that matter in this romantic world anymore? A female in distress? Hurry Prince and 4get about the money. "What about Love? Don't U want someone to care about U?"

Who ever said Prince was an expert on women certainly not him. but I'll bet he's an expert on sex.

Just because many women want to be with Prince doesn't make him an expert. These women are after the image that Prince has created of himself over the years. Like most men he wants women to believe that he is able to make them melt in his arms. Just listen to some of his lyrics; as a woman these songs had my imagination going many times and had me wondering if he is really this great man/lover he sings about.
But in real life only a few women actually had the opportunity to experience his true personality behind closed doors and all these women left him.
And I don't believe the women were all gold-diggers, they just fell in love with his image, just to find out later that it was just that - an image!!!
The man has problems and issues just like every other human being and as long as Prince tries to attract women with his money or a fantasy-image that he himself created, his women will run away when they find out what the real Prince is like.

Prince is a romantic poet, who happens to be a musical genuis who can articulate his imagination vividly. He's been compensated greatly for it as well, all of these things bring women to the party. But, when the doors close is when Prince may come up lacking-in otherwords you cant fuck and shop all day, at some point there are intangible factors that allow people to stay together that cant be hashed out in the bedroom. Years of sexual variety and not really knowing the motivations of people in general have probably rendered him a poor judge of character; i mean we're talking about a guy who never had a job.He used to make Carmen Electra sleep fully made up, who does that but someone unglued from how real people live. Most guys know that once she breaks out the long flannels and bandana she's really into you lol, if she's still wearing fuck me nighties she may not see you as a long term candidate. Prince suffers from a cloistered existance and cant truly engage women without his image as "prince" looming near by.In later years he's been presenting as more enlightened and mature but mute the TV and look at who he's seen with. Are these women not the same exotic raven haired hotties he's always been seen with? and ask yourself is his maturity operational...or aspirational.

And that it's demeaning to be told that I imagine.

dreamshaman32 said:

Wow, dreamshaman32! As always I do enjoy reading your point of view and I do agree that Prince hasn't lived in the real world for a very long time and he still goes after the same type of woman. It looks to me that he's really not searching for a real woman but an image of a woman. It takes more than an image to keep a relationship going. People who do not live in a sheltered fantasy-world know that!

Intelligent post, I enjoyed it. It's true, healthy relationships have a sense of equality in them.

JesusFreak said:

Yea...that's why I said may but what we're all sayin here is purely speculation...our own opinions.
Maybe I should've explained more but I just didn't find it necessary cause others did already

Don't really want to add too much as I believe his personal life is private and does not concern me. However I do find it strange that in the film PR his father told him to never marry - wonder if he should have listened. Just want P to be happy.
