I honestly think how much fun it would be to live my reputation. People have this image of how wild and crazy I am, and I’m not everything they think of me. The reality is that the fame, the rumors—this picture means this, another picture means that—it really freaks me out. It made me back away from even wanting to attempt to date. It’s become second nature for me to just close that door and just be O.K. with that. I’m always concerned about whether people have good or bad intentions. —Rihanna

He has a great story and I’m like … what am I doing? I can’t do it to myself. I cannot. It has a little bit to do with fame and a lot to do with the woman that I am.

. Extreme fame seems so isolating; even as bulletproof as Rih tries to come across, she seems very sensitive. Women get judged so harshly; I can't imagine trying to date around and find a good match for me under a microscope and being labeled a "ho" if my name comes up in the same sentence with the names of one too many men. I won't tell my fam/friends about a guy until I'm sure it's something serious, so I can't imagine every person I casually went to lunch/dinner or hung out with was plastered across headlines and permanently on my "list". I really do hope she finds a GOOD man that makes her really happy.
