She said:
“I still believe that as a man you should be able to command respect. I’m single because I just really want somebody that will really love me, that’s all I’m not asking for too much… You can love someone but you’re not ready to be a committed person. Maybe this is why I’m still single, I can’t be in a toxic relationship.”
Why Ini Edo cannot be with a man she does not respect
Speaking further, the actress said that she needs protective energy from her man to make her want to respect him because he has to earn it. According to the actress, if it ever gets to a point where she disrespects her man, then he must have brought himself down to that level.
She said:
“If you cannot give me that protective energy that allows me to respect you, I cannot be with a man that I don’t respect. If you cannot earn my respect then we cannot be together because what’s the point? When it gets to a point where I start to disrespect you that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you or I begin to disrespect you. Sometimes it’s not even about having money, it's about how you’re able to love and manage the situation and the people around you. Kindness, I think that’s what is missing.”

Reactions as Ini Edo explains why she’s single at 41
Ini Edo’s explanation about her single status raised a series of interesting comments from netizens. While some of them agreed with her, others noted that men probably do not want her because she’s successful.
Read some of their comments below:
Evelynetti:
“@iniedo is right on this one. It’s how it is with strong and independent women generally. You have to find a way to make us want to pipe it low for you, not by aggression or violence, it’s the little things that count not the money. A successful woman doesn’t need your money but the little things you do to her will make her see you more as her man than not. Funny thing most men don’t realize is that independent women love a ‘handy’ and smart man it’s a huge turn on to know your man is a ‘fixer’ and will be there anytime you need him. Not one that will grumble at every opportunity. It’s not you being her slave but you showing her she can let go of some of the weight on her and leave you to handle it. It’s even better when this man is a huge contributor to her success, especially her business if she’s an entrepreneur. Nobody is too difficult to love, you just don’t have their ‘mumu button'."

“If you have a kind partner that’s intentional about you , you don’t know what God has done for you.”
olive_accessories07:
“Well said....it is not about respecting a man alone,you as a man can you command respect? I'm not talking about being authoritative. You must be a leader in such a way that your woman cannot disrespect you.”
realokoyeuche:
“The truth is most men are insecure they can’t handle rich and beautiful women these days.”
