This church boy turned R&B star opens up about the differences between a man’s love, a woman’s love, and what he thinks the problem is for most women Joe Thomas continues to leave his name, his mark, his imprint on R & B with the recent release of his latest album, Signature.
When our parents think about love songs, they think about Marvin Gaye and Luther Vandross. When our generation thinks about love songs, we think about Joe.
Perhaps the most underrated R&B star of all time, this pretty young thing is still single. So what then, could he possibly have to tell us about love? A lot apparently, from “Don’t Wanna Be A Player” to “All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do),” in this heart to heart with Parlé, Joe opens up to reveal “More and More,” about the deeply personal, private, and hidden places from where he draws his inspiration.
“She liked me more than I liked her,” Joe explains in his own way what led him, and often leads many men, to stray. “That’s usually the problem for most women.” However, cheating is just a relative term. While Joe knew that this woman had committed herself to loving him and only him; what she did not know was that to Joe she was still just his “main girl.” For the ladies who need a definition, this is the one of several who they choose to “spend the holidays with.”
Despite all the implications of “Stutter,” which Joe admits he “made all that shit up,” Joe has never been cheated on, (that he knows of, because statistics show that 8 out of 10 people have been or will be cheated on). The lesson here is not for women to stop loving just one man, or that men are incapable of loving just one woman, the lesson is for the ladies to be more selective with whom you choose to give your love to.
This is the most significant way in which men and women love differently. Men have a much harder time than women in falling in love, settling down, and committing to just one person. Therefore, when they finally do reach that point of monogamy, men love just as strongly, and if not stronger, than women, according to Joe.
