    Gameover Gets REAL About Dating, Women & What Men Need

    What happens when you take the money, gifts, status and ego out of dating? What’s actually left? On this episode of Smart Love, LaDonna sits down with media personality, radio host and emcee Terrell “Gameover” Hubbard for a raw conversation about modern dating, relationships, accountability, loss, healing and learning how to truly LOVE. Gameover has built a career connecting with audiences, but in this conversation, we go beyond the personality and get to the man behind the microphone. He opens up about some of the hardest lessons of his life—including losing a woman he loved while he was in the streets, letting go of ego and pride, and telling his mother “I love you” for the first time at her funeral. We also get into some dating topics that are guaranteed to start a conversation: 🔥 Has dating become too bougie? 🔥 Are social media, MAC and Sephora giving people unrealistic expectations? 🔥 What should a woman actually bring to a relationship? 🔥 Do women know how to make men feel appreciated? 🔥 When does a partner become an asset—or a liability? 🔥 Should a man be expected to pay for hair, nails and lifestyle expenses? 🔥 Atlanta dating vs. New York dating 🔥 Why love matters more than gifts 🔥 What REAL women actually value in a relationship 🔥 Why healing yourself has to come before finding somebody else Gameover’s message is simple: elevate your mind, get rid of the ego and become comfortable being YOU. Because a healthy relationship isn’t just about asking, “What can you do for me?” It’s about asking, “What are WE bringing to the table?” And when everything else disappears—money, gifts, appearances and status—LOVE still has to be there. 💜 Heal yourself. Don’t kill yourself Watch the full conversation and tell us in the comments: What is a woman supposed to bring to a relationship—and what should a man bring? 👇🏾 SUBSCRIBE to Smart Love for more real conversations about love, relationships, healing, wealth and becoming the best version of YOU. #SmartLove #Gameover #Dating #Relationships #ModernDating #DatingInAtlanta #BlackLove #RelationshipAdvice #MenAndWomen #Healing #LoveOverMoney #DatingTalk #AtlantaDating #LoveAndRelationships Ask Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
