Rihanna Hates Being Single (VIDEO)

Rihanna Single

First Posted: 11/18/11 11:42 AM ET Updated: 11/18/11 11:42 AM ET

Though she's been linked to her co-star Dudley O'Shaughnessy in her epic video for "We Found Love," Rihanna tells talk show host Ellen DeGeneres that she's single and "it sucks."

"I'm not dating anyone right now, I'm not dating at all," Rihanna told Ellen in an interview airing Monday, Nov. 21. "I'm not necessarily happy being single. It's not really that cool."

Rihanna does admit that doesn't really have to time to focus on a relationship either, but when she does have the time, she told Ellen, she wants a man who can take charge.

"I like men that are more aggressive, but mysterious, but I like a man to be very sure," she explained. "I like them to be sure of themselves and know that [he's] the man. I'm the lady and the only way for us to make this work is for us to play our roles. You know, I really can't be the man for you. i don't want to be. I'm the man at work all the time."

And the 23-year-old singer is at work all the time. She just released her newest single, "You Da One" just a month after the video for releasing "We Found Love."

"I do put a lot into my job; most of my time if not all of it, and it definitely affects my personal life," she told Ellen. "My personal life is pretty much non-existent -- which is not good, not for the long run. Not for me, not for 'her,'" she said, pointing between her legs.

Ellen was visibly surprised by Rihanna's candidness, and the singer explained, "That's why I stay on Twitter a lot, so I can [converse] with my fans -- because I don't get any booty calls."

I think Chris Brown was pretty "aggressive" with you, Rhianna. Maybe you should go with some passive nerd. You'll probably live a lot longer... and keep your looks in tact.

I'd gladdy be "aggressive with you baby..

Rihanna's not mature enough to realize you can't put yourself out there the way she does, and expect to be respected..

She can probably have almost any one she want's, so that being said, if she wanted a man she would have a man.

She wants an aggressive guy, but she is aggressive herself. There's only room for one aggressive person in a relationship. We all saw what happens when there are two. Rihanna needs to get over the tough guys and go for a sensitive guy who can soften her rough edges. Hopefully she will learn this in time. And btw, a guy can be confident and sensitive. They are not mutually exclusive.

Maybe she could find time for a relationship if she wasn't releasing a new single every week, unnecessarily flooding the airwaves with cheaply produced, gimmicky cr@p and actually made quality albums with time off in between like normal artists do.

It's because nobody wants herpes. That's why she sleeps alone.

Whenever I read stories about this, I can't help but remember the quote from The Color Purple.

"She a low-down ho what everybody say."

You have her confused with Kim Kardashian. Otherwise she is a somewhat of a lively woman that would keep her man satisfied as along as she doesn't get beat.
