DIDDY TALKS ‘DAD, LOVE & MATURITY’
THE FACTS
Diddy spoke to Elle.com on what influenced his relationships with women.
THE SPIN
For years Diddy Puff has been known as a playboy, but as the father of six kids (one adopted) by multiple women some have criticized Diddy and his relationships with women – namely, “Why won’t he marry Kim Porter?”
Well, the man himself spoke openly about past revelations that reveal why he can’t fully “mature” in relationships in an interview with Elle.com:
ELLE: Your dad was shot to death when you were only three. Who taught you how to behave with women?
SC: A couple years ago, my psychologist came to the conclusion that this is one of the big problems I have as far as maturing in a relationship. After my father got killed, my mother said, “I’m never getting married again. I don’t want men around my children.” So I’ve never actually been able to witness a husband and wife’s love. Sometimes when I see it with my friends, I just find myself staring like a child, because I’ve never actually seen it before. It’s one of the sad parts of my life.
ELLE: So what kind of behavior does this bring out in relationships?
SC: When a relationship gets to a certain point, I probably get scared and become a little self-destructive.
ELLE: By self-destructive, do you mean going out with other women?
SC: Yeah.
ELLE: If you get caught cheating red-handed, what’s the best response?
SC: Cry. It might not work, but it at least shows that you care. Goddamn, this is a deep interview. You didn’t ask Will Smith none of this shit!
ELLE: But we’re making such valuable progress! Just tell me: Are the tears real?
SC: Yeah, it hurts me. One of my weaknesses is that I actually have a conscience.

I think puffy gets alot of flack about his womanizer ways,lol But he is not married yes he has children by these ladies but that don’t make for a solid relationship.What i think he needs to do is STOP Having CHILDREN from women he knows he is not going to commit.But i have faith in him one day he will meet that right one But sorry to say it won’t be KIM.
This is his issue, who really cares.If these women are stupid enough knowing his past history and seeing his track record so to speak(his relation with Kim for all them years until she woke the hell up and left his behind)and they choose to deal with him, then it’s on them. He is only going to do what they allow him to do to them. Women need to stop settling for less and just because he is wealthy you shouldn’t sell yourself short and have some respect for yourself ladies.The only positve thing I can say about him is it makes it do what it do when it comes to him being business minded.
It sounds like he needs counseling to get past this hurdle in relationships. I think he is salvagable.
Diddy is like most men (NOT ALL) but lets face it most men have the same problem, its not uncommon for men to have those feelings, at least he is not married and runnin around cheatin on his wife, there is hope for him but he will truly settle down when he is ready, and he just isnt ready yet, not to mention its too easy for him to get women and thats a hard thing for a man to give up!
I aint buying it. If he can keep Kim on speed dial then he can marry her. He is just greedy like most men who cheat…they want it all.
I agree with all of you concerning Diddy and women. I especially liked Caramel’s comment. He only does what these women (Kim included) let him do. They need to stop settling.
On a positive note, at least he seems to be in his children’s lives.
Let me also say Diddy isn’t the first man (celeb or not) to do this and he won’t be the last. Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest fighters of all time, had a long track record of womanizing even while married! Just picking an example.
Its better to be a solid consistent Father that instills good value in ones kids as opposed to a man that marries prior to being able to truly commit to the real obligations that come with marriage. So in a sense one might as view it as inmaturity but I think to some degree its speaks to a sense of maturity in not doing something on the premise of doing it…
I am not sure that I understand how someone with a brilliant business mind thinks that he has to sink to not just having sex outside of marriage but He does not even respect Himself enough to protect Himself. There are all kinds of diseases running around out here and all he can think to do with a woman is have his dick unprotected and on top of that his (seed) are his children who are young men so He is producing womanizing nasty men like himself. Money does not produce character!!!
Yeah, ok Diddy
He doesn’t marry or commit to any woman because umm…he doesn’t want to.
sean combs needs to get saved, abstain from having more kids & get moe help from health professionals.
Now he’s going to do unto his kids what was done to him….not show them what a loving relationship between a man & women really represents.
