British Singer Estelle Thinks Men are Intimidated by Her Success

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Estelle thinks she intimidates men.

The ‘American Boy’ singer is currently single and believes the success she has enjoyed over the years puts off potential boyfriends.

She said: ”I don’t actively try and court men who don’t know what the hell my life is about, because it takes a lot of explaining. The worst part is meeting guys and seeing their faces fall as they realize they can’t remotely deal with my lifestyle or me as a woman.”

Estelle, 32, insists she doesn’t want to be impressed by a man as she just wants him to be himself.

She said: ”My mentality is that I don’t care about being impressed. I just want you to be a man. He just has to be …. Manly.”

Because of her busy lifestyle, the ‘Break My Heart’ hitmaker says she will have to rely on technology to meet someone and maintain a relationship.

She told The Times Weekend magazine: ”You have to look on the bright side. Because of e-mail and Skype, it lends itself to being able to court the person. You spend more time talking and communicating as human beings, not just, ‘Well, I’m going to sleep with them tonight and never see them again.’ ”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
