"Single Ladies" is a comedic drama about Val, Keisha, and April - three best friends with different philosophies on sex and relationships.
Val ( Stacey Dash) is an ambitious aspiring fashion mogul who wants to find a true partner. Keisha (LisaRaye McCoy), on the other hand, is a former video dancer just looking for a rich man to keep her in style. April (Charity Shea,) has supposedly found the perfect man and the perfect marriage - but is learning that marriage isn't necessarily a happy ending.
"Single Ladies" is a modern, sexy series set in the world of Atlanta fashion, music, and celebrity that will constantly explore which woman has the right approach to relationships.
Single Ladies airs Monday nights at 9:00pm on VH1

Now that you've read a synopsis of what Single Ladies is about, watch an episode. Tell me what you think? Are you a single lady? Can you relate to any of the characters? I'll be honest. I can't. A word of caution though - don't just take my word on it. This opinion is coming from someone who has NEVER watched an episode of Sex in the City. Yes, I admit. I'm not a fan of TV shows that chronicle the lives of modern day whores who sleep with any man who'll buy them a $30 dinner and a glass of wine. I take issue with that type of story line.
As a single lady dating in the year 2011 I find it next to impossible to find a decent man to go out with and end the night with no strings attached. Maybe you can help me understand what a date really means in 2011. Single ladies chime in on this. I'd like to know what your take is on this subject. Men, you're welcome to comment too. This inquiring mind wants to know.
Until then...Ciao!
Tipree, I am not a single Lady but I know enough men to know that a "Date" these days is just that; a "Date". For men and women to day courtship is recreational. Recreational courtship satisfies both men and women's desire to put a notch in there belt and to say "see I use to go out with him" or "she was my woman back in the day". With the current idea of "dating" we practice for divorce because all the relationships entered into are so temporary and yet damaging because of the degree of investment (i.e. Sexual relationships). Marry to Date is my advice as it is given by God in Genesis 2:18- 24.
ReplyDeleteThank you for chiming in, Young Theologues. I whole heartedly agree with you that we should be "dating with a purpose" - getting to know a person, developing a friendship, and moving to the next level if that person suites you. Too often a "date" ends with someone in the kitchen making cheese eggs for the person who spent the night with them. I think healthy dialogues like this one will open the door to help heal the broken state of male/female relationsips.
