REAL TALK with Monique

Where the gloss comes off, and the truth comes out. This space is for the unfiltered, the unapologetic, and the women who know their worth — even when the room forgets to notice.

Let’s talk about that moment.

You walk into a room with a friend. A man looks over, smiles… and greets HER!! You’re standing right there. Full presence. Full beauty. Full power.

And he barely acknowledges you—or worse… acts like you’re invisible.

Ouch!!😂💥

Now let’s be real—

You know darn well it’s not about your looks. Please. You’re the jiggety BOMB and you know it. 💣💋 So what gives? Is this man just being straight-up disrespectful? Ohh hell no!!

But sis, before your cortisol hits the roof, take a breath. Relax. Sometimes,… it’s not even about you. It’s about him—his insecurity, his avoidance, or his fake silent power play.

But let’s not get it twisted: It still stings. And it still matters. Because being ignored when you’re standing in full bloom? That’s not just rude—It’s unnatural, and borderline inhumane.

We weren’t created to be invisible. Not when we’re showing up whole, present, and shining in our power. So no—your reaction isn’t “too muchy.” You’re not being overly dramatic. You’re just noticing what others pretend not to see: Disrespect wrapped in silence. Potato, potahto—still disrespect. 

I know some people reading this are thinking, “Oh well, he didn’t look at her—big deal. Maybe he just didn’t find her attractive..ahhh well..

But that’s not the point.

This isn’t about whether a man finds a woman attractive or not.

This is about the sting of rejection—thats totally unnecessary, and rude!

All women deserve acknowledgment.

A simple, respectful “Hey, how are you doing?” doesn’t cost a thing.

It doesn’t flirt. It doesn’t overstep. And it definitely doesn’t break a sweat.

But being flat-out ignored?

That hits different. Especially for women who are fully grown, emotionally mature, and walking with grace and confidence.

Being dismissed—whether because of beauty, boldness, or a full makeup face—can feel like straight-up disrespect.

“Listen, don’t think because I’m wearing red glossy lipstick and long lashes you get a free pass to be borderline rude.”

You don’t have to be interested to be decent.

So let’s break it down.

Here’s what might really be going on when you get the cold shoulder—and how to hold your crown anyway. 👑

The Truth and Nothing but the Truth!

1. He’s Intimidated😳

Sometimes, it actually happens because you’re intimidating. Beautiful—yes. Confident—absolutely. But intimidating, no less.

Attractive women can make insecure men feel nervous — Fact Check..

Facts!! ✔️

Some guys assume one (or all) of the following:

You’re probably taken.

You get too much attention already.

You wouldn’t be interested anyway (especially if he’s single), and lacking confidence.

And if he’s married?

Ehem… well, sis, there’s your answer right there. 👀 Check the bling bling!! 💍 If he wears it, he’s committed. If he doesn’t wear it…but he is married?That’s a red flag dressed in cologne and charm. 🚩 Best he didn’t even look at you. Because your beauty doesn’t need to be tested by someone else’s broken vows. Know your worth. Keep your standards. And let the ring speak before he does.

Bottom line? Some men, rather than risk embarrassment, freeze — or ignore you completely. It’s not always intentional rudeness. Sometimes, it’s just avoidance dressed up as indifference.

2.He’s playing it cool… too cool! 😎


🎵 Don’t step on my blue suede shoes
😎🎶
💙👞🕺🏽 — Translation: He’s playing it cool… but let’s be real — he ain’t got the Elvis swag 😜

Bwahaha… sit down, this one deserves a real drink. 🍸 Ready? Cheers!🥂

So here’s the move: He sees you walk in looking fly — confident, glowing, that ‘she-knows-she’s-that-girl’ energy. And what does he do? Greets your friend like you’re the coat rack.

Why? Because some men think ignoring the one they think is prettier makes them seem mysterious. Unique. Unshook. Hard to impress. Maybe even… wait for it——deep. 🤭

But let’s be real — it’s just recycled reverse psychology.

And if we fall for it? We’re gonna need more than a drink — we’ll need group therapy. 😭🍷

They shift their attention to your friend to:

Stand out from the crowd, seem hard to impress…oh yeah…make you curious — and girl, now you’re the one asking questions.

Let’s be honest—this likely is more game than genuine… straight-up theatrical 🎭 ..and honestly? It just spells out one thing:

I-M-M-A-T-U-R-I-T-Y.

🙄 Sis, there’s nothing we can do about that. You can’t mentor grown people into maturity. That’s something they have to want for themselves. Because maturity can’t be spoon-fed.

3. He’s Into Your Friend

Simple as that. He may already know her, be interested in her, or be trying to keep things respectful.

It’s not personal — it’s preference. Cool. But respect? Still mandatory. So either introduce yourself, command his attention, own the moment, and shake that glitter on yourself — or step aside. Because you weren’t born to be background noise, sis.

Or better yet — rise above it. Because some things aren’t even worth your energy!

4. He Assumes You Don’t Care

There’s a weird assumption some men carry: that attractive women don’t need greetings.

Like you’re so used to attention, one more “hello” won’t matter.

Let’s set the record straight:

It’s not about attention. It’s about acknowledgment. And that’s something everyone deserves.

🧍‍♂️ 5. He’s Just… Clueless

Not everyone is great at handling social settings.

Maybe he didn’t know how to approach two women at once. Maybe he panicked. Maybe he didn’t even realize he snubbed you.

It doesn’t make it right—but sometimes it really isn’t that deep.

💬 Real Talk Wrap-Up:


Pretty doesn’t ask for permission — it walks in and owns the room.

If you’ve ever felt invisible in a moment where you should’ve been seen, know this:

It’s not about your worth. It’s not about your beauty. It’s about their behavior.

You walked in glowing. Don’t let one awkward greeting dim your light.
