What He Said: Lamar Odom On Women and Responsibility
Khloe Kardashian is one lucky woman! Check out what her hubby, Lakers star Lamar Odom, said about marriage and responsibility in his interview in the February 2011 issue of Playboy magazine. I’m impressed!:
On how marrying Khloé has changed him:
“Men, most of the time our goal is to have what we want when it comes to women… Most men like more than one woman. A lot of them would not want to admit that because that might not be cool, right? Most people don’t want to get married. Being married, that’s a responsibility. I always used to tell that to women. I don’t want a girlfriend because that means I’ve got a responsibility. I have a responsibility to call you. I have a responsibility not to be with another woman. I have a responsibility to be there on time when you need me. With her I was like, If I do what I normally do, I’m going to lose her. And if I lose her, I think it’s going to hurt a lot. Right then and there I knew. We were together every day.”
On whether it was true that he withheld sex until they were married:
“I tried to. I didn’t know why I wanted to wait. We came together and knew what we wanted from each other really early, and everything we did felt good, from a hug to a kiss. Then there was a time when I just tried to be a gentleman about the whole situation. I was accepted by her family. She stayed at my place and vice versa. I thought, We’re going to step back for a second. Keep it classy.”

It all sounds good…
It’s not hard to wait for sex until marriage when you were only dating a few months BEFORE you got married
<——– Great Value drink mix
what’s the problem? what he said? or who said it? or who he is married too?
Pity he didn’t feel this way about the woman he had kids with.
I want to add that children are a bigger responsibility than marriage, so this man is twisted.

Good point
@Nicola…pity the woman who had his kids didn’t make him wait until they were married to have children/or sex for the matter.
NO need to point fingers and place blame
The first part is actually kinda sweet…That’s why not getting married. Responsibility is the pits.
Nicola says:

I’d prefer he marry someone he actually loves as opposed to dragging someone along (his baby mother.) I’m sure he has a different type of love for her.
Or is it the fact that he gets to have his cake (khloe) and eat it too (Rob~her brother)!! There was a rumor circling around that Lamar is on the DL and Rob is his boy toy! How convenuient…..All his goodies under 1 roof!

Good point as well
he looks like he licks short bus windows when hes not restrained…
I hope Khloe and milk dud head have a prosperous marriage n shat!
*convenient
I LOVE his comments and them as a couple
How long was he with his baby mother? I don’t know how long they were together but I don’t understand why people stay together so long while being unhappy and don’t leave until the next best thing comes around (not saying this is what he did cause I dont know). Leave because you are unhappy, don’t wait until you find someone else to up and leave.
WOW!! I can appreciate the statement. It offers a bit of insight to how some men think about relationships. I especially appreciate the comment:
“that means I’ve got a responsibility. I have a responsibility to call you. I have a responsibility not to be with another woman. I have a responsibility to be there on time when you need me.”

@ his!!! U and ur comments have me cracking up..

HIS, I SEE YOU AT IT ALREADY. HEY BOOO!
I never noticed he didn’t have any eyebrows. Maybe he should get some lace ones.
No need for me to hate! I’ll take me one of those
Sounds like an honest answer.
Good interview.
that was sweet +2 for lamar
This was nice I liked what he had to say … But I guess when your only dating for 30 days it would be easy to not have sex!

I like you Lamar…but Imma need for you to talk to Bishop Long about where to get some man hair from to cover up that triangle you got going on bruh.
Its distracting like HELL.
I was reading your comments…and kept glancing up at it. Lost my place and chit.
Awwee, he sounds like a stand up guy. They seem like a genuine couple. Well wishes to them
Blahhh! Lamar Odom just puts a bad taste in my mouth!

I CFREE, am a black woman and I am a long shot from being desperate.
Btw, I have a man and when I didnt I was not pressed and didn’t settle for anythang less than what I deserved. SOOOO, whats up with the generalized “black woman” thing. Just curious
¿¿¿

Someone interviewed Lamar Odom??? AND took what he said seriously?
This must be from “Retard Monthly” magazine or something.
@Therapist say that bruh! She gave him the milk before the cow…

Most people don’t want to get married. Being married, that’s a responsibility.

That’s a Black American man thing, not most people. For all other American men a family you can be proud of is part of the American dream. Black men have some kind mental block that makes them want the opposite. They are irresponsible to the extreme and they run from responsibility like its the boogie man. If Khloe was the woman to turn it around for that particular black man that is great. At least someone did. I did it for my irresponisible, carefree husband.

I wonder if he ever tries to put his “tip o’ thee penis” shaped head in Khloes Vajay…I bet it can fit >_<
What he said sounds good to me. Who knows whether his other woman wanted to get married or not. Some people are fine going with the flow while others ask for more.
What I say? I have noticed that not as many of my snowy faced brothers and sisters were having less children than me Im like whats going on Facials is whats going on more face less children
it is a fact google it 
@Yso
You’re not right LOL!
Hey Al, pls take ur keyboard to the nearest port-a-potty and leave it there…thx
*Looks for a way to deactivate @ALBoys SR access*
I won’t lie, I may be one of the only women who DON’T want to get married, nor have kids. The traditional life isn’t for everyone though

~~~~~~~~~
Oprah said that she and Stedman will never get married, she cooks for him because she wants to not because she has to. What kind of bull is that. I am married and cook for my family because I want to, not because I have to. I don’t cook everyday if I don’t want to and the world does not end. Some ppl think that when you get married you become a slave, it’s not about losing who you are it’s about sharing what you have to offer w/another person. Yes in a marriage you are to respect one another not control one another. A man can just as easily cook a meal or wash a dish as well as a woman can.

It truly is false advertising, cause the only time im on my knees is when im praying..but naw, im into make-up so that’s where the name came from…no sexual connotation!
And at the end when they was standing by the attic winder…didn’t Solomon tell her azz that it was HIS FAMILY….
Can yall see LaRetard (Lamar) standing up at Kardashian family dinnas proclaiming they are HIS family now….
I got TEARS….I wish my boxes of gear basically saying I ain’t chit that @His is sending me would come ON…so I can GOOOO….
@YSO, you feel me? Im just a free spirit and kids and a family would only tie me down.
@chb that lady is about her and her fams money fuk wat errbody else talkn bout who u think kim learned all her sh!t from
DUDE is JUST ANOTHER COON-AZZ individual that thinks way to highly of HIMSELF and HIS Existence (Real…)
And to ALL OF THE FEMALES who are SO PROFOUND in their DISDAIN for BLACK MEN (As A Whole…) regarding FAMILY & RESPONSIBILITY…
SORRY-AZZ NO GOOD MEN isn’t ETHNIC Specific… It’s ALL in THE INTENT & INNATE BEING & MINDSET of THAT INDIVIDUAL… YOUR TWISTED-AZZ fantasies in YOUR HEAD isn’t going to change THAT FACT
aww man when Peyton slapped the taste outta Solomon, i wept a lil….then i saw that nigga in another movie and got over it!

@ Queen what going on baby? how you been?
@Lipstick
I got the kids already (two soon to be adopted boy cousins) and that’s all the responsibility and obligation I can handle right now.
@Kwall’s name change didn’t stop her from being funny as hail…
Nobody has sent you to the :korna: with no food or water today?
*sneaks back out*
@ Yso preshate the endorsment for FTM
My stance is this: The greatest gift a woman can give a man is to carry his seed, the greatest gift a man can give a female is to make her his wife. If a woman carries his child BEFORE he makes her his wife, she cannot be mad because she did NOT have to bring that child into this world…

Everyone says i’ll change my mind one day but I’ve felt this way since I was a young lad. What kind of lipstick was it? Have you ever seen the Lady Gaga Viva La Glam lipstick? It’s a real pretty pink, I think you’d like it. It’s $15 but if you don’t want to pay that much Rimmel makes a great dupe, it’s called Pink Blush and it’s like $7 but right now CVS has it for $1.61 on sale. I just bought some last night and with gloss on top it’s POPPING!

Did Lamar Odom really just make me have a lightbulb moment?!?!? *dazed and confused* I really need to re-evaluate some things at this point.
Up until this point I always thought Lamar was as dumb as a shoe and now he’s making me have lightbulb moments. Lawd, lawd, lawd!
“With her I was like, If I do what I normally do, I’m going to lose her. And if I lose her, I think it’s going to hurt a lot. Right then and there I knew.”-Lamar Odom
Wow!!! On so many level’s, wow! I’m speechless. This makes so much sense and put everything in perspective for me.
