Teddy Riley: Men getting married makes them unfocused in their careers

[Diondon]

It gon make them grind more. Nobody grinds harder than a man with a family depending on him.
When that mortgage is due or that daycare bill is coming, nikka gon find that money.
What it will do is make him more cautious and take less risks in his career. He can't take that big promotion cause it's cross the country and he doesn't want to uproot the family. shyt like that.
Now if you're talking celebrities, he might have a point indirectly.
I've read many times over the years how getting married causes a male celeb to lose his sex appeal with women. No homo.

He was talking about entertainment industry, not Brian in IT

FACTS...for not putting his quote in context

 

[The Fade]

nikkas work hella overtime because their wives destroyed their happiness at home

 

[Elle Driver]

Women only a distraction if you put too much emphasis on getting women. Time management is the key. Manage your time with your family, significant other, ambitions, rest and relaxation. Whatever it is. Just gotta put ya effort and time in it.

My advisor in college told me not to fukk with women until I had my degree

you can have a degree at 22/23, and that is still to early to settle down

 

[Cynic]

shyt, if you’re in a relationship, you’re technically both investing in each other.

There is no bigger time hog, stroke accelerator or income loser than relationships

 

[Marco Zen]

that two minute opinion..



The rest of the interview was interesting as hell

 

[LurkMoar]

i would argue the opposite, having a family forces alot of guys to double down. Depends on your career tho, dont see a reason to get married if you in show biz honestly

Most successful men in history had wives. This is just an entertainer spitting some bullshyt.

That's because marriage was forced as normal for so long that in most societies everyone got married, even gays and lesbians. That stat is irrelevant.

 

[Black Steph Curry]

Most successful men in history had wives. This is just an entertainer spitting some bullshyt.

Thts cuz back in tha day matrimony was meant for amassing power. This prince married that princess, and so on and so forth. Thts not true in most cases today.

It always depends on the woman. 2 types to get with if you are truly someone who could works long hours, can handle not hearing from you for many hours, seeing each other a lot less than other women would like.
1. She just has much of a workaholic, driven 2. She grew up in a household where her father was always working a lot and is expecting of the same from the man she's with.
Someone who has let's say has 40-60 hours of free time per week will mostly not get along with someone who can only dedicate 5-10 hours.
Then there is the other side of that spectrum, where they grow hatred, disdain for a man whose spending countless hours working and many man will cut back what they were originally doing to appease their spouse.

A lot of man spend their lives working to get to a certain position to get a certain kind of woman, once they get her. They grow complacency when a woman is in the picture. This is why self-awareness is very important for a lot of guys. A separation of work hours and play is very important for any man .

 

[Gonzo]

Really depends on the chick youre with. The chick I'm with makes more money than me which bothers the fukk outta me so I am working my ass off to beat her. I doubled my salary in 1.5 years

 

[Neuromancer]

Average album.

Put the pipe down.

 

[Anti-Anime]

#GMB taught me never to play with fire.

I'm not married so I can't say , but I know my creative progress is not predicated on my girlfriend cause my woman is writing. My girl knows my writing comes before all else (sometimes eating and going to piss.)
