“I think the only reason I am still single is because there is not the right guys. I accept only premium guys but I have been meeting only regulars lately. All I want is a good man. That’s my type,” she expressed.
Tamar Braxton also admitted that her alpha female personality may have prevented men from approaching her.
“Yes, my personally may come off as intimidating and some men may not have the confidence of approaching me because they may be thinking that 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 everyday,” she added.
