Attention Single Ladies, Gabrielle Union Has Some Advice For You: “Time To Change Your Type”

If you’re single and you know it clap your hands…if you’re single and you know it clap your hands. If you’re single and you know it, then your face will surely show it, if you’re single and you know it clap your hands.

If you actually clapped your hands, you’re a lovely person and I hope you find someone really soon. If you didn’t participate in our fun game, then I hope you never find love.

I’m just playing. Everyone deserves to be loved, and to help you find that special someone who will love your non-clapping ass, we’re going to share Gabrielle Union’s dating advice. The 44-year-old actress is married to NBA player Dwayne Wade, but she has been single and divorced in the past, so she has experienced it all when it comes to relationships.

While promoting her new movie, Almost Christmas, Union talked to The Grio about finding love in 2016. What advice does she have for single ladies?

Don’t be so committed to a certain type

“If your type hasn’t worked for you in 40 years — guess what? Your type sucks! Time to change your type. Think outside the box! Maybe they’re younger, maybe they’re older, maybe they don’t come in the shape or size or color that you assume they would come in.”

Or maybe they’re a super rich NBA star? Is that a type? If I were single and a lady, I’d try to land a professional athlete. Not only are they rich, but they’re gone 6-7 months out of the year, so the mansion is basically yours.

But if you can’t find yourself a pro baller, don’t you worry! Union claims there are lots of “dope” people out there.

“But there’s so many dope people out there that if you open yourself up and get out of your own way, you’re going to have a lot of options. A lot more options than you think.”

There you go ladies. Don’t go out looking for a certain type. Be open to it all and you never know what you might find.

Go back to clapping now.
