Men say: If we’re together, I don’t have to be friends with your friends.
Whitney Port says: It’s very important to be friends with your girlfriend’s friends because that’s a huge part of her life. If a guy’s not willing to spend time with the girls, that’s a negative attitude and not one that I’d be OK with. Maybe he’s just shy, but if things continued to go on like that, I’d probably break up with him.
Men say: Women who have had plastic surgery have self-esteem issues.
Whitney Port says: It could be true to a certain extent. If someone’s not happy with a certain part of their body, then I guess they have an insecurity. But it’s the individual’s choice. I would never judge someone for doing that, if that was what makes them feel better.
Men say: You can tell a lot about a woman by her friends.
Whitney Port says: That’s definitely true. Who someone gets along with and spends their time with is a reflection of their character. If you’re around people that have bad morals or aren’t trustworthy, then you probably have a little bit of a sneaky side as well.
Men say: I could never settle down with someone who’s posed nude.
Whitney Port says: If I was seeing a guy who’d posed nude, I don’t know if I would look at him and think about settling down—but to each his own. If a person is posing nude for the wrong reason, then that’s one thing. I’m not saying that I would do it, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
Men say: It doesn’t matter how I look, women are attracted to money and power.
Whitney Port says: That’s ridiculous! There are certain women who are, but that’s just a huge generalization. I’m not attracted to that—not to say that if it came with a great personality, and a great human being, that I would deny it. However, those qualities are purely material and not something that you look for in a long-term relationship, especially if those are the only qualities apparent.
