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 â even when the room forgets to notice.

Letâs talk about that moment.
You walk into a room with a friend. A man looks over, smiles⌠and greets HER!! Youâre standing right there. Full presence. Full beauty. Full power.
And he barely acknowledges youâor worse⌠acts like youâre invisible.

Now letâs be realâ
You know darn well itâs not about your looks. Please. Youâre the jiggety BOMB and you know it. đŁđ 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,⌠itâs not even about you. Itâs about himâhis insecurity, his avoidance, or his fake silent power play.
But letâs not get it twisted: It still stings. And it still matters. Because being ignored when youâre standing in full bloom? Thatâs not just rudeâItâs unnatural, and borderline inhumane.
We werenât created to be invisible. Not when weâre showing up whole, present, and shining in our power. So noâyour reaction isnât âtoo muchy.â Youâre not being overly dramatic. Youâre just noticing what others pretend not to see: Disrespect wrapped in silence. Potato, potahtoâstill disrespect.
I know some people reading this are thinking, âOh well, he didnât look at herâbig deal. Maybe he just didnât find her attractive..ahhh well..
But thatâs not the point.
This isnât about whether a man finds a woman attractive or not.
This is about the sting of rejectionâthats totally unnecessary, and rude!
All women deserve acknowledgment.
A simple, respectful âHey, how are you doing?â doesnât cost a thing.
It doesnât flirt. It doesnât overstep. And it definitely doesnât 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 dismissedâwhether because of beauty, boldness, or a full makeup faceâcan feel like straight-up disrespect.
âListen, donât think because Iâm wearing red glossy lipstick and long lashes you get a free pass to be borderline rude.â
You donât have to be interested to be decent.
So letâs break it down.
Hereâs what might really be going on when you get the cold shoulderâand how to hold your crown anyway. đ

Youâre not just reading a blog â youâre flipping through Beauty Bloom News. Real Talk lives here.
The Truth and Nothing but the Truth!
1. Heâs Intimidatedđł
Sometimes, it actually happens because youâre intimidating. Beautifulâyes. Confidentâabsolutely. But intimidating, no less.
Attractive women can make insecure men feel nervous â Fact Check..
Facts!! âď¸
Some guys assume one (or all) of the following:
Youâre probably taken.
You get too much attention already.
You wouldnât be interested anyway (especially if heâs single), and lacking confidence.
And if heâs married?
Ehem⌠well, sis, thereâs your answer right there. đ Check the bling bling!! đ If he wears it, heâs committed. If he doesnât wear itâŚbut he is married?Thatâs a red flag dressed in cologne and charm. đŠ Best he didnât even look at you. Because your beauty doesnât need to be tested by someone elseâs 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 â or ignore you completely. Itâs not always intentional rudeness. Sometimes, itâs just avoidance dressed up as indifference.

2.Heâs playing it cool⌠too cool! đ

đľ Donât step on my blue suede shoes
đđś
đđđşđ˝ â Translation: Heâs playing it cool⌠but letâs be real â he ainât got the Elvis swag đ
Bwahaha⌠sit down, this one deserves a real drink. đ¸ Ready? Cheers!đĽ
So hereâs the move: He sees you walk in looking fly â confident, glowing, that âshe-knows-sheâs-that-girlâ energy. And what does he do? Greets your friend like youâre 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 itââdeep. đ¤
But letâs be real â itâs just recycled reverse psychology.
And if we fall for it? Weâre gonna need more than a drink â weâll need group therapy. đđˇ
They shift their attention to your friend to:
Stand out from the crowd, seem hard to impressâŚoh yeahâŚmake you curious â and girl, now youâre the one asking questions.
Letâs be honestâthis likely is more game than genuine⌠straight-up theatrical đ ..and honestly? It just spells out one thing:
I-M-M-A-T-U-R-I-T-Y.
đ Sis, thereâs nothing we can do about that. You canât mentor grown people into maturity. Thatâs something they have to want for themselves. Because maturity canât be spoon-fed.
3. Heâs Into Your Friend
Simple as that. He may already know her, be interested in her, or be trying to keep things respectful.
Itâs not personal â itâs preference. Cool. But respect? Still mandatory. So either introduce yourself, command his attention, own the moment, and shake that glitter on yourself â or step aside. Because you werenât born to be background noise, sis.
Or better yet â rise above it. Because some things arenât even worth your energy!

4. He Assumes You Donât Care

Thereâs a weird assumption some men carry: that attractive women donât need greetings.
Like youâre so used to attention, one more âhelloâ wonât matter.
Letâs set the record straight:
Itâs not about attention. Itâs about acknowledgment. And thatâs something everyone deserves.
đ§ââď¸ 5. Heâs Just⌠Clueless
Not everyone is great at handling social settings.
Maybe he didnât know how to approach two women at once. Maybe he panicked. Maybe he didnât even realize he snubbed you.
It doesnât make it rightâbut sometimes it really isnât that deep.
đŹ Real Talk Wrap-Up:

Pretty doesnât ask for permission â it walks in and owns the room.
If youâve ever felt invisible in a moment where you shouldâve been seen, know this:
Itâs not about your worth. Itâs not about your beauty. Itâs about their behavior.
You walked in glowing. Donât let one awkward greeting dim your light.
