The fact that Terrence Howard's ex-wife won't take him back despite his pleading is not such a surprise considering this quote from a recent Elle interview:
"Toilet paper - and no baby wipes - in the bathroom. If they're using dry paper, they aren't washing all of themselves. It's just unclean. So if I go in a woman's house and see the toilet paper there, I'll explain this. And if she doesn't make the adjustment to baby wipes, I'll know she's not completely clean."
And this:
"If a relationship is built on sexuality, it won't last long. Now I'm completely chaste through a relationship unless I get married. I don't believe in premarital sex. It enabled me to date three or four women at the same time, because as long as I wasn't having sex with them, I could always just walk away. There were some [past girlfriends] who pushed for sex, and sometimes they won. Afterward, I would feel unclean, like I'd compromised my own values. So I would have to let them go because they didn't help me to be a stronger person."
The guy is just plain creepy, obviously, with questionable views on both women and personal responsibility. Imagine if he was your man, counting your baby wipes after each trip you made to the bathroom and blaming you every time he got aroused. No wonder Halle Berry and Gabrielle Union never called his ass back.

He's real talk on the baby wipes, Lauren. Many (most) chicks I know either use them exclusively or at least have them as an option in their bathroom. I live with a man, so I have to have toilet paper, but when I lived alone, I only had baby wipes.
His views on girlfriends confuses me, and if he was really chaste he wouldn't have been trying to call Halle and Gabrielle - two women we know are not trying to wait until they get married. C'mon, dude, we see you Mr. Howard. We see you looking kinda silly.
Lol, BMD! I was making fun of T.H.'s creepy approach, not the concept.
Terrance needs to step his game up to grown-man status. He is making himself look so sad.
That's friggin hilarious, Lauren, b/c I was wondering why baby wipes would be creepy. I kept reading and re-reading it and SMH. Hahahaha.
eww! he is sick.
Wow, I've never heard of a man being so particular about the tinkle habits of a woman.
Does he wipe himself after he uses the bathroom? Or does he drip dry b/c I find that gross.

Can he come to my house? I've always wanted a bidet. I'll hide the Cottonelle wipes.
To JillyBean, the bidet washes you and then you dry with TP. It makes sense. If you rubbed poop on your leg, you wouldn't wipe it off with TP. You'd wash it off. The TP system is not very sanitary
…but I must say, he is a nasty MF for bringing this up in an interview. As for the sex thing, STFU. He just doesn't want to marry someone who isn't a challenge. He needs to not front like someone used him.
P.S.: I read somewhere, I think from Supahead's excerpts, that he didn't…have much to offer anyway.
daria, I meant does he drip dry after tinkling not using a bidet. Poop…I don't even want to know what he does with that.
daria, call me crazy but I've always wanted to know what a bidet felt like. It must be surprisingly refreshing! hahaha!

It IS refreshing! Every time I use one (friend's house or hotel), the song "So Fresh, So Clean" plays in my head.
Oh, btw, I think it's hilarious that he gave up black women because Gabrielle and Halle didn't call him back. Guess white men should give up white women when Cindy Crawford won't call them back. Hell, Boris never called me so I guess I should give up black men.
[...] nuptials cost him a girlfriend, and he doesn't seem to upset about the loss. Her toilet-paper-to-baby wipe ratio was probably off, or she forced him to have sexual intercourse. Either way, he's far better off without the sexual temptation of an unsanitary female. [...]

Why dont ppl just use a good old bucket of water and wash themselves instead of wiping? much cleaner.
Clearly, Terrence Howard has some issues with women, yet, I respect that. However, strange as it may seem he has his values. Men do not like women who are too eager to get into a sexual relationship, and women should learn something from Howard…find out about a man's values regarding certain issues, before you begin to see yourself involved in a relationship with him. I know I will be chastised for saying this, but women have to learn from people like Howard. Indeed, there are certain pet peeves that men have, and one day they can hold you on a pedestal, respect you, and when they come down a notch, it means that they have found something that causes it to happen. Lastly, women before you beat me up, men think very differently than women. When they view a woman, they wonder is she "wife material," or not. No man wants a woman who is dressed like she is going to the bordello, curses, and does not respect herself. Howard is right the way some women dress is more than distasteful, it is downright degrading. Imagine a woman sitting at the front desk reception with both of her breasts showing…now is that businesslike? I can assure you no one might say anything, but she will be sitting there for the rest of her life..meaning that she will hardly be promoted.
