Singer Jill Scott has 2 failed marriages and a slew of failed relationships under her girdle. So it is no surprise that, at age 42, she has given up on marriage or any semblance of a longterm relationship with men.
In an interview with ABC News Radio to promote her new film, With This Ring, Scott explains why she only dates men for 6 months before dumping them and moving on to the next.
Scott said making With This Ring was a painful reminder of her own failed relationships.
“I’m older now so I see a little bit better than I did before. My longest relationships now are about nine months. Actually, now it’s grown to six months. There’s no need for me to waste my time or anybody else’s. I know by then. If you make it over the six month hump, you have done something. I must really like you.”
What Ms. Scott doesn’t realize is that she is describing the Dopamine phase.
As my loyal readers know, the Dopamine phase is that stage of intense sexual attraction that normally results in procreation.
The brain chemicals responsible for the Dopamine phase reminds us that we are intensely attracted, or we feel a certain “chemistry” toward someone.
But the “chemistry” phase does not last. This is the point when immature adults who were only in the relationship for the thrill or the excitement tend to move on, as Jill Scott is doing.
These brief but intensely exciting relationships are often referred to as “Dopamine relationships”.
Ms. SCott also touched on young people’s unhealthy obsession with holding their stomachs in, so they appear more attractive to their partners who prefer flat, washboard stomachs.
“You can hold your stomach in for four hours, but you can’t hold it in forever. You have to be who you are and you have to genuinely love who you love in order to have a lasting marriage. Getting married is one thing; staying married is something else.”
What the Film Taught Cast of With This Ring:
“The movie made us all think about what we’re doing. You know, what are we doing? For the married girls, it made them question and decide for certain that they made the right decision on who they married. They thought about it — not to say they hadn’t before — but we talked about that: why they chose to marry these guys. And for Regina and I, the two single girls, we really thought about what it is that we want.”
More from Sandrarose.com:
Cause they don’t like her longer than 6 months?
sounds silly 
so they appear more attractive to their partners who prefer flat, washboard stomachs.

I think the stomach comment was a metaphor. Basically you’re representative (which tends to show up in the beginning) won’t be along for the long haul. Eventually who you truly are will come to light.
That’s weird

ppl need to stop being so hung up on this skinny stuff. you can be skinny and fine OR fat and fine. some dudes prefer a lil jelly belly
everybody aint meant to be skinny. Jill dam sure aint. if a dude messed up with Jill its not because of her gut because clearly he knew she was big bone-ded to begin with.
@Lurker
You got any brothers? I’m asking for a friend

Right.
Also skinny and miserable or FAT and Miserable.
folks need to stop being so superficial
I bet people read this literally and not figuratively in regards to the stomach
looks and weight change…. It’s like “trouble” it don’t last always
I had no idea she married twice. I knew once, but twice? Did she marry her son father? Better yet forget all of that, when the hell is she coming out with another bomb album? Let’s talk about that Jill
And I will say…she shoulda came up with a better metaphor.
This Jill Scott. Why you using your stomach as a metaphor? IJS. Use them bishes who be doing that makeup sorcery on Youtube as an example of who you REALLY are/who you aren’t. Bish you a Mama Big Bones. No disrespect.
Okay…This would be like DerekJ using a metaphor about: You make a man think you got small feets by squeezing them into a WOMENZ size 7.5…but then yall get home and that nigga see you got MENZ size 12. You cant hide your feet forever!
Just…pick a better metaphor. Thats all.

You say she want her refund. She waiting at the doctor office eating a sammich with a keg tummy like

I just hate feeling bloated and swole in the middle.

FREAKING
I get what she is saying. Be you. A lot of that stuff is fleeting and superficial. I do believe in being healthy. And it’s kinda of ironic cause I just said last night after finding and doing some Malia IG butt and leg exercises

If this perspectuve works for Jill, then so be it. People utilize mechanisms, both defense and coping, respectively to maintain their life balance. To avoid or reduce stress in their life. At least she is upfront about it.
Just…pick a better metaphor. Thats all.

Better than love, we made delicious

His boom and his bip
And he was my love
Love rain down on me, on me, down on me

This is my old acting bestfriend and his son
He dresses that boy up like he belongs in somebody’s nursing home. Too damn sharp to be 3
And more on some fascination…who CARES if you married, single, its complicated, you a side bish etc. When did it become important enough to spawn movies, books, and numerous deep conversations? America, especially Colored America…got bigger fish to fry. There is a whole, new, younger generation getting shot the hell down b/c of their skin color. Where is Hollywood to make a movie about THAT? I’ve only seen ONE in recent years. Fruitvale Station.

Shake- It was okay. I don’t think because you HAVE money means you have to give someone 25K. Family or not. I do believe Bakari needs an educated pretty girl on his arm to rise in the political career. He ain’t gone marry her. She wants marriage, yet he doesn’t.

You and me both. It ain’t gotta be flat, but it can be flatter… I own my vainess (my word, don’t come for me) and ion care.
@Dubb,
You answered your own question. You really think Hollywood care about Colored America? Some coloreds don’t even care about Colored America.
From a business standpoint: Why would a spryte movie producer tell our story when they can tell a story about another spryte that will bank millions? It’s not that profitable. Furthermore, it would take many of them out their comfort zone.
Some are not comfortable with being uncomfortable. JMO

Karrueche is in Chris Brown’s new video. They need to go get married and go away.

Or like Chris Bosh going on a rant about homosexuals and saying he wish a nucca would try him. I would be like what?? You doing foreplay????? It turn you on?? You role playing??

but for her to call her rat and say you married one 
they real quick to talk about rats but Drita and Renee stay throwing stones and hanging with Natalie who is a rat and in general nasty. Like she walk and look stank and she is a pot stirrer. Steady flopping them gums but won’t buss a grape

I am going to watch the latest episode because I missed it. I got several DVRs
Where is Jenie??? I watched MOB wives LAST NIGHT. I am not Team Ang….. she is dead wrong for calling Renee a rat. She knew what she was saying about the girl doing drugs and dna being on the dolla bill. She was saying she would turn state’s evidence on her

I don’t want that body. But I don’t want PRECIOUS BODY TAKE :wails: I need to feel comfortable in my own skin and having extra stuff around the middle that collapses ain’t the lick. I can deal with the booty being fat 
These thangs being on swole :boob: and not quite on fleek no moe 
but I shall not be looking like I am 6 months pregnant all the time 
but a little fat is good for ya
I don’t think Bakari immature, he just don’t want to marry her. Then he treat her like a constituent.

Flat stomachs is all the rage amongst young girls today. My niece and all her friends are dieting so they can achieve the flat stomach that boys — notice I said “boys” — prefer. I know a few females who admit they hold their stomachs. Ask somebody.
