I’ll never understand why the women of my generation feels as though a man who listens to music like this, isn’t man enough. Smh. A real man makes you feel loved.
Michelle Lanier
I love a man that can relate to this type of music....that's a real man

Tre I listen to this kind of music here and there. I listen to any kind of music on the whole, as long as it sounds good and pleasing to the ears. I don’t care what anybody thinks. It’s silly that people have to stereotype and generalize individuals based off what they listen to. 😂
Xo Dro
Tre & if those kind of females want to judge me wholly based on the type of music I listen to then they can keep stepping and enjoy their life (just not with me though). Sometimes, you can tell where people’s minds are at.
