As one of the co-hosts of The View, Whoopi Goldberg has no problem speaking her mind on – well, everything. And during the Hot Topics discussion on a recent show, the EGOT winner spoke her mind about the kind of partner she’s looking for, making it clear that she has no problem with a one-night stand.
On their February 13 show, the ladies debated a New York Post article which suggested that a partner who is good in bed might actually be bad for you in the long run. According to the piece, psychologists suggest people who are too willing to please may actually be narcissists who are simply seeking admiration from others.
And while the experts say dating someone more interested in satisfying their own need for validation than their partner isn’t great, Goldberg said she doesn’t mind an occasional hookup. In fact, she sometimes prefers her partners perform and keep the conversation to a minimum.
“Listen, a good hit-and-run is a good hit-and-run. Ninety percent of the time, I’m not there for conversation,” she said.
Co-host Joy Behar co-signed Goldberg’s comments, adding that while a narcissist may not be the marrying kind, they can be great for immediate gratification – as long as you have another, more responsible guy in the rotation.
“One man is not enough for most women. We need two guys. We need a narcissist who is good in the sack and a man who is able to take out the garbage,” she chimed in. “I don’t mind having a narcissist, but I’m not going to marry them. But great for that night.”
But when co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin admitted to being wary of a narcissistic partner even if they are good in bed, Goldberg suggested the best solution might be to stick with a partner that can’t talk back.
“You know, if you get an electronic partner, you don’t have to worry about that. Because they’re good when the batteries work, and they’re not when the batteries out,” she said.
