LisaRaye McCoy isn’t mincing words about her dating preferences!
During a candid conversation on Carlos King’s Reality with the King podcast, the 57-year-old actress opened up about her strict standards when it comes to potential partners, stressing the importance of success, generosity, and faith.
“I don’t want to stress you out by trying to keep up with my lifestyle,” McCoy said. “If I’m going to these restaurants just for lunch meetings, and it takes you your whole check to take me there, I don’t want to stress you out. You cannot hang with me.”
A Lifestyle of Elevation
McCoy, known for her roles in The Players Club and All of Us, has cultivated a life of luxury and accomplishment.
She explained that her expectations stem from her desire to find a partner who complements her lifestyle rather than struggles to meet it.
“Why waste your time dating somebody who is not going to elevate your life?” she asked. “I’m not trying to be with anyone that I have to be a teacher. Life is already teaching us all lessons. I need someone who is accomplished, successful, powerful, and rich.”
More Than Just Wealth
While financial success is a key factor, McCoy made it clear that it’s not the only quality she seeks.
“It’s other things though. It’s funny. It’s God-fearing. It’s family. It’s generous,” she said, highlighting the importance of shared values and a strong moral foundation.
McCoy also pointed out the significance of compatibility in relationships, urging potential partners to evaluate their own needs:
“Do I check the boxes that you need for your inner woman? Do you check the boxes for me?”
A Woman Who Knows Her Worth
McCoy’s comments reflect a broader message about self-awareness and setting boundaries in relationships.
As a successful, world-traveled, and family-oriented woman, she believes in finding a partner who can match her energy and ambition.
“I’m talented, I’m successful, I’m domesticated, I’m family,” McCoy added. “You get all these things. Don’t you know that I have a list as well?”
A Message to the Modern Dater
LisaRaye McCoy’s unapologetic approach to dating serves as a reminder to prioritize compatibility and shared values.
For her, a successful relationship begins with mutual respect, alignment of goals, and the ability to elevate each other’s lives.
