Rihanna Talks Intimidating Men, Being The Hunter In Relationships & Turn Ons

Superstar singer Rihanna is a woman who knows what she wants in a man and doesn't plan on settling for less. When it comes to relationships she tells Cosmopolitan she can play the same games men can.

"Men are like hunters; they like the chase. So you have to keep ’em guessing. Actually, I’m like that too. I get bored quickly. So if someone can make me laugh, that’s the best," she said.

In the past Rihanna has been linked romantically to entertainers Chris Brown, Drake and Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player Matt Kemp.

What do they all have in common? They are used to being in the public eye.

Rihanna says finding a man outside of the industry would be hard to do.

"It can definitely be intimidating to guys to date someone in this industry. And it’s really hard to find a guy who doesn’t care about that stuff."

There are a few things that a man can do to get the Barbadian beauty's attention, other than the whips and chains she sings about in "S&M."

"I’m turned on to a guy by different things. It could be the way he looks. It could be his intelligence. It’s really a spontaneous thing," she explained.

The singer also talked about the aftermath of the physical assault she suffered at the hands of Chris Brown two years ago.

"It was a very aggressive and defensive time, and that allowed me to start not giving a sh*t. I walked around with a very f*c*-you attitude. I’ve always been good at masking my emotions. Anytime I didn’t want to deal with how I felt, I’d put up my guard. But I’ve started not doing that."

Comment by Judes on July 7, 2011 at 4:01pm: @Antoinette, I hear you. She's just speaking her mind, since discovering SELF as she's older. Truthfully I still have her in my head from her 1st CD and that little girl, but hey she's a woman now and can darnwell do as sshe pleases......... Ya know ya'll do it too! :-) What? Aids... Who said that? OMG! SMH!!!! Ppl, ppl what ya gonna do, they gonna talk about ya regardless; it's human nature.

Comment by Antoinette Dixon on July 7, 2011 at 3:41pm: exactly not only that but we need to erase the idea that it is ok for a man to sleep with whomever and a woman cannot. Im not saying everyone should sleep around but dont b sexist. Furthermore in the spotlight we've only seen her with three men. Really ppl? So your telling me at her age you didnt date three men within the span of a year or two. You can see me with ten men n dat doesnt mean I sleep with all of dem or any of dem at all. She's an adult so let her b that. N honestly I wudnt oppose to a woman who sleeps around (safely) being in d media, we dont need to b concerned about wat people think of our sex lives. N we definitely dont need 2 take judgement from anyone but God. To even say she might have AIDS is horrible..its not a laughing matter.

Comment by Judes on July 7, 2011 at 2:07pm: @ Antoinete D..... Thank U.

Don't know why ppl acting like they're hearing this for the first time.... sooooo many before her. PLzzzz.

Comment by Antoinette Dixon on July 7, 2011 at 4:39am: I feel like ppl r haters shes a grown woman she has every right to explore her sexuality and voice wat she likes. Shes not fake she jus tells it like it is. Ppl need to hop off. Just because her relationships r public does not mean she has to get married n settle down. We often look at ppl in disgust wen dey cheat durin marriage den y criticize dem wen dey do wat dey do n dey kno dey arent ready for dat?
