Does it make him less of a man? Well, I guess it depends on what you're definition of a man. Future clearly is not a responsible individual, he has 4 baby mamas, has a criminal background, a history of substance abuse, is blatantly disrespectful to women in his music and also in life... I have not been following ciara and russell closely and only know what I know about him from this forum but so far he sounds like the anti-future. He has good values/morals...we know he's not out here sleeping around with a bunch of women, he doesn't mind helping a single mother with her child, he is well spoken, educated, and comes from a good family, and doesn't seem to be phased by people's opinion of him and how he is living his life. I don't know how serious he and ciara are, but I hope her mistake serves as an example to many young black women as to what a GOOD man looks like and the consequences of fooling around with these bum ass...
