00:00:04.000

00:00:10.000
that i wanted and then looked at myself and i was like okay how i am physically am i going to
00:00:16.800
attract the type of man that i'm i i want now i'm not saying that i can't get that type of man
00:00:21.680
because i can but it's not that i'm trying to get them i'm trying to keep them do you see what i
00:00:26.000
mean like you need to keep you i want to keep the man i want the husband i want the family and
00:00:31.280
realistically speaking a lot of men i'm not saying that you know their preferences aren't
00:00:36.320
plus size women but the type of men that i am looking for the type of man that i'm looking for
00:00:42.800
his preference would probably be somebody that is a lot that does weigh a lot less than me how much
00:00:48.640
weight have you lost um so i've been on this journey since february okay so it's new i mean it's okay
00:00:54.400
you've just started somewhere yeah i just started yeah but um since i've since the ending of february
00:00:58.720
i've lost nine pounds okay yeah okay do you have a goal weight there like you don't have to say the
00:01:03.280
weight but like a goal number like amount of pounds you're trying to lose um i want to lose around 50
00:01:08.400
pounds okay that's great that's awesome yeah um anything else that you've done self-improvement um no
00:01:14.800
okay um just this is i know that stuff guys always say so i would say i'm currently still
00:01:22.960
trying to self-improve myself um so i'm just trying to spend more time with myself just trying to do
00:01:28.720
things that makes me happy so i just go on solo dates myself um just spend more time alone i pray
00:01:35.360
more as well um i've become quite spiritual as well lately and um yeah that's what i'm and i'm trying to
00:01:41.760
get get into the gym as well i just need a bit more motivation but other than that it's just what
00:01:46.320
i've been doing is just spending time for myself and my son as well so um i'm curious for you um
00:01:52.720
because you seem very in love she's glowing look at her uh what do you feel like you brought that
00:01:58.880
other girls didn't what today no no like that got you in a relationship um i don't know god put me in
00:02:08.240
a place where my match was there um you didn't think you brought like anything that other girls
00:02:15.040
didn't i'm cute well um i don't know well well my partner essentially he's like i said he's very
00:02:25.120
intellectual so he likes a female that is very intellectual that can hold conversation um who
00:02:31.200
isn't just pretty that brings more to the table than just that i feel like a lot of um modern day
00:02:38.160
females are very like find it hard to be submissive to men and um i was that you know to my man
00:02:47.600
eventually after time um eventually after you weren't at first oh absolutely not what we're gonna do
00:02:54.480
it's at right so he needs to show me that there's a reason for me to be submissive i can't just be
00:03:00.560
submissive to any man that comes across my way he has to show me like you're conditionally submissive
00:03:07.360
no i'm forever submissive to the one to the one to the one um so he has to show me different qualities
00:03:15.920
to why i need to be submissive or why i should be submissive i think it just comes it plays in trust
00:03:21.840
really and um knowing somebody being able to empathize with that individual you know just
00:03:28.400
understanding their different attributes their way of life their way of thinking and once i've
00:03:33.280
understood that i feel like that's when i became wholeheartedly me and um yeah he fell in love i guess
00:03:43.440
you know it's interesting it's like nobody put like cooking clean you know any of the traditional
00:03:49.600
like housewife stuff like i don't think did anyone say that oh i cook and clean no i asked like it
00:03:55.200
improved at it like to to get in a relationship well you i speaking for me i come from an african
00:04:00.800
household so i have to cook and clean like you know as a woman my brother sits there and does nothing
00:04:08.880
as women that's just my culture whether it's wrong or right that's just how we've been brought up
00:04:13.520
we cook and we clean my mom cooks for us every single day if it's not every other day it's every
00:04:19.360
single day she feeds us and that's just how we were brought up so you know when you're conditioned to
00:04:25.760
something you're able to do what you're conditioned to that's what i'm conditioned to so i'm always gonna
00:04:33.520
just do what i've all i've known okay so you feel like you were raised to be a wife so you didn't need
00:04:38.160
to improve at that i'm raised to be a wife in this generation meaning i still get the bag and i still
00:04:46.320
have to be the wife absolutely but my whole purpose in life is not just to be the wife there's more to
00:04:53.600
me than just a wife you know um i'm intellectual i'm smart i'm pretty you know i have more to change
00:05:00.640
i have so much to put in this world than just to be a wife a wife why do you say just a wife
00:05:06.560
because it's not just a wife if you're proud of the man you're with no it is still just a wife even
00:05:12.880
if it is because you know i'm speaking on like you know in africa for instance let me give you that sort
00:05:18.960
of scenario hypothetical situation in africa you know i feel like they're brought up to be just wives
00:05:25.840
that's what they know you know but here i know more than just a wife i know you can be a wife and be
00:05:32.640
other things don't they have better outcomes though why aren't they more married why because
00:05:38.400
they have plenty kids yeah no no no i can be a working wife and my mom showed me that no but i'm
00:05:47.200
saying like in the west our outcomes are terrible like they're horrible and a global person i don't
00:05:52.320
know i i'm not going to tell you the stats of like africa but what i'm saying like in terms of our
00:05:57.280
divorce stats they're horrible it's like we have a 50 divorce rate 100 40 40 so i agree so being
00:06:03.840
raised to like it seems like being raised to be just a wife yeah seems like a better outcome because
00:06:09.920
you have an intact family which i would argue you you're going to be happier if you have a family
00:06:15.280
i agree but then when we're in a western society you have to include the whites the black the asians
00:06:20.160
and every other minorities or ethnicity that's put there when i'm speaking in africa i'm talking about
00:06:25.920
all the black africans and in africa um my mom will vouch for this they don't believe in divorce
00:06:32.160
neither nor do i i don't know we don't so if i'm married i'm married forever forever so they mean
00:06:37.520
as in so isn't that good that's good yeah it's good but it doesn't always happen that way you know
00:06:42.880
yeah yeah but it's regards to me if i'm getting married i'm marrying forever i'm not married i like
00:06:48.400
what you said there because my grandparents came to this country my granddad came in first
00:06:53.040
um i believe he wasn't he came here to work and my grandma had to come after
00:06:59.680
but when she came she worked too now in india she weren't working she was sending butter
00:07:08.000
she was even telling me the other day i used to make better but i'm like oh my god yeah but i get that
00:07:13.520
that that's how you in in india that's how she was she came here straight away the first thing she did
00:07:19.520
was work and she worked in a factory and you know completely different to what i see what men do now
00:07:24.720
because my granddad was working in some serious labor work you know there wasn't he came and he worked
00:07:31.840
that he's always worked his whole life being here back home here my grandma came here she worked too so it
00:07:40.000
it does depend on the country you're from as well because the first thing she thought is i need to
00:07:44.800
build a house i need us to get a mortgage what am i going to do he can't do it by himself i wasn't i
00:07:50.080
wasn't knocking woman working again i have my work yeah i was just saying i was talking about she said
00:07:56.880
just a wife and i said what's wrong with me no i don't want to just be a wife i'm saying wait wait wait
00:08:02.640
so i'm just saying you make it sound like that's such a bad thing no it's not a bad thing but even if i had
00:08:07.280
the opportunity to be just a wife i feel like me personally i would still want to have my own what
00:08:12.800
about when you have like children i still want to yeah why because i want to i want to make sure that
00:08:18.320
i portray the image of having your own and not depending on anybody in this life your five-year-old
00:08:24.080
cares no but you know what she's gonna care when she's 16 and she's 18 and she's 21. do you know why
00:08:30.160
wouldn't she rather have her mom there more because if you're because if you're working like if you have
00:08:34.720
your own and you're working 20 30 40 hours a week like you can't you can't be with your kid 100
00:08:39.600
percent like so i feel like like isn't it more important to the kid to have a mother that's
00:08:43.600
present and has her own that's why covered came in place because that's why we have hybrids so mommy
00:08:48.160
worked three times a week she's in the office two times a week she's at home and as much as you know
00:08:53.680
what like the society we live in london cost of livings are increasing i have to work and the thing is
00:08:59.200
i'm not a lazy individual i want to work i want to i promise you that my partner is a person that
00:09:06.640
wants me to be at home and raise the kids and i will do that i will be as efficient as i can be
00:09:11.920
but i still have to get my own i have so what if he said hey babe i really want you to be home with
00:09:17.280
the kids i quit your job you're submissive right 100 i'll do that for my husband absolutely i guess what
00:09:23.680
so you're in i would do that till they reach 18 and i'm back at work oh then you're back at work
00:09:28.480
absolutely okay my degree never expired i have a law degree you would you would give it up for
00:09:32.800
the family though absolutely okay family first always you just made it you made it sound like
00:09:37.360
you wouldn't no no i would i would i was like girl do you have any girls want to stay at home no no i
00:09:42.480
would but the thing is my partner gives me that option he says you know when we do have kids to you
00:09:46.800
but i'm like yeah yeah small small which you know i mean but if it got to a place where he said
00:09:52.240
serious conversation i want you to be iron with the children i'd say okay till they reach a certain
00:09:57.600
amount of age then i want to go back to work i do i don't want to be bored at home baking cakes
00:10:03.520
and i feel like it's personal preference as well um not every woman wants to do that but obviously
00:10:07.760
some women do like me personally as well i would want to do that as well i feel like it's always good
00:10:11.600
