American singer and actress Tamar Braxton has expressed frustration over being single at 48, insisting she is “wife material” and lamenting the lack of quality men in her life.
In a candid interview with WBLS, the “Love and War” hitmaker explained that her singleness stems from encountering only “regular” men instead of the “premium guys” she seeks.
“I am a wife material. I am not a streetwalker. I am upset that I am still single. I think the only reason I am still single is because there is not the right guys. All I want is a good man. That’s my type,” she said.
Braxton also admitted that her alpha female personality might intimidate men, preventing them from approaching her.
“Yes, my personality may come off as intimidating, and some men may not have the confidence to approach me because they think they can’t meet my standards. But right now, I am trying to ditch being an alpha female and be more soft. I am working on it every day,” she added.

A woman and a man doesn’t share the same privileges.
A woman has the privilege of accepting her preferred man in a relationship.
When it comes to the aspect of marriage,the men has the final say and a woman simply has no choice than to wait to be considered as a good option.
