He Wants a Mama, Not a Woman

Live from Los Angeles, Tonight’s Conversation: Live & Uncut breaks open one of the most frustrating dating patterns women face:
Why do independent, successful women keep attracting men who want to be taken care of?
The night explodes when an audience member admits she attracts men who need nurturing, rescuing, and emotional babysitting. The panel doesn’t hold back:
men can sense a woman with mothering energy from a mile away — and the wrong ones run straight toward it.
From men who want comfort instead of accountability, to men who hide behind charm while expecting women to carry the emotional load, LA unpacks the quiet truth:
if you are too strong, too soft, too giving, or too available, you might be dating grown boys instead of grown men.
The energy shifts when Miss Pat steps up with one of the wildest church stories of the tour — a pastor blurring boundaries, whispering in her ear, stripping her roles, and testing her spiritually and emotionally. The panel dives deep into spiritual manipulation, unsafe leadership, and why discernment matters as much in the church as it does in relationships.
Then the DL dating story hits, the private investigator moment sends the room into chaos, and Mike drops the now-iconic mantra:
OSTD — Other Sh*t To Do.
Funny, raw, convicting, and painfully relatable — LA delivered one of the most honest conversations about why some women attract the wrong men… and how to finally break the cycle.
