Jill Scott opens up on Instagram about the type of men she refuses to date
Jill Scott went on social media to post lessons she's learned from past relationships, which include knowing her self-worth.
Now that her divorce is final, singer Jill Scott wants any potential suitors to know that her standards are not up for debate.
Tuesday, the 41-year-old took to her Instagram account to post lessons she’s learned from past relationships, which include knowing her worth and never dating a man based on his “potential” again – a move many took to be a direct jab at her ex Michael Dobson, who she described in their divorce papers as a “mooch.”
The meme entitled, “5 ways not to be used” lists the following:
1. Believe patterns not apologies
2. Don’t fall in love with potential
3. Believe all “red flags”
4. KNOW YOUR WORTH
5. Don’t lower your standards.
Scott reposted the meme with a caption that reads, “For you. For me. For US. Love You. #beenontheotherside #fdatsht #yourtime #dontwasteit.”
Many of her followers co-signed the sentiments in the post, and shared their own dating rules and experiences too. One message in particular caught her attention and led her to respond.
“@heavensent8The truth is right in front of you at all times ??”
To which she replied, “@missjillscott@heavensent8 like a flashing light. Pray for sight and the wisdom to acknowledge it in full.”
“Note – Your standards are not everyone else’s,” she continued. “I won’t do Uncle Daddies – the ones that call every now and then; who see their children a few times a year. THAT is one I just don’t respect. Lack of respect is a dry bobby. I prefer a juicy existence. Ya dig? Or someone who is disrespectful to their parents. Nor can I do broke/broken yet comfortable. Nah. Write YOUR list. Sometimes it’s better to know what you don’t want.”
