Boris Kodjoe Checks Claudia Jordan and Schools Twitter on ‘How to Be a Man’

Boris Kodjoe Checks Claudia Jordan and Schools Twitter on 'How to Be a Man'Boris Kodjoe gave some amazing insight over the weekend while having a Twitter discussion with model/actress Claudia Jordan. The handsome actor and former model sparked the trending topic #How2baMan, after Claudia tweeted that her mother told her to find ‘some rich, ugly producer and marry him’ because of her issues with finding a good man in LA. Boris responded to this by tweeting:

“Why he gotta be ugly? Honestly, I think LA is cancerous for relationships. The hustle mentality and ‘gotta make it’ attitude keeps people from cultivating a real connection. No one has time to take anyone in. Everyone is self-centered and wants to  ‘keep it moving’ Dudes here are so insecure that they have to switch up a girl every week to hide their ‘weaknesses’. A real man embraces them!”

He then started the trending topic, #How2baMan, where he listed what he thinks are qualities that all MEN should possess:


“- Embrace your imperfections

– Laugh at yourself. A woman likes a man who doesn’t take himself too serious.

– Fix or build something with your hands. It’ll show her that you are capable of taking care of a home.

– Know how to cook and clean. It’ll show her that you don’t need her but that you WANT her.

– Get your passport and travel. A man needs to see the world.

– Communicate without cursing. You don’t need to curse to make a point. Cursing shows lack of substance.

– In bed, take care of your woman first. When she’s satisfied you are DA MAN!!!

– Stay in shape. It’ll show her that you care about yourself and therefore are able to care about her.

– Take care of your responsibilities. Anything less is unacceptable. A boy is irresponsible, not a man.

– Open her her door and pull out her chair. It shows her that you honor traditional values. Trust me, she will do the same.

– Be present! Take her in with your eyes and ears. Your attention will make her feel loved and she won’t ever nag you.

– Read a f—ing book! (Sorry, violation of ‘no cursing’ rule) But seriously, ignorance is a major turn-off. Book on tape will do.

– Have an ambition. You don’t need to be rich but you need to show direction and motivation. Keep a job!

– Last one for today: Treat a woman the way you would want your daughter to be treated. Anything less is unacceptable.”

This  healthy discussion is quite a breath of fresh air from the usual foolishness on Twitter. What are your thoughts on his beliefs?
