Lori Harvey is only willing to date someone on her own terms. The model recently sat down for an interview on Bumble’s Luv2SeeIt series with Teyana Taylor, where the pair engaged in a conversation about their view on relationships and what their beliefs are concerning the idea of compromising one’s values for another man.
Neither of them said they’d be willing to be in a romance with another person if the relationship required them to give their “power” away to their significant other. In saying that, Harvey continued by recounting how she almost ended up tying the knot at an early age, stressing that she didn’t even know herself or what she liked in a man to even take that step and settle down with her then-beau.
Men don’t like Lori Harvey because she does exactly what they do 😂🙂

“I felt like I hadn’t really experienced anything. I didn’t really know myself, I didn’t really know what I liked, what I didn’t like. I just feel like I hadn’t really experienced life.” The 25-year-old shared that she eventually came to a point of realizing that she wants to date people on her own terms without jumping into something her other half may have suggested her to do. “I want to move, whatever I want to do, I’m going to do it. And if it’s no longer serving me, I’m going to move on.”
Harvey had also touched on the growth she’s made over the years and that what she wanted at 21 is not what she hopes to find in a man at 25. She believes that the mindset she had in her earlier years is completely different from the person she is today — now, she feels much more confident in the person she’s become and doesn’t tend to live her life with any regrets.
Lori Harvey said “I’m dating on my own terms, whatever I wanna do however I wanna do ima do it and if it’s no longer serving me I’m gonna move on” and this is what I’m living by

“You can’t live your life based on what other people are going to think, how other people feel, because at the end of the day it’s your life — so what’s going to make you happy?” she quizzed Taylor. The “Bare With Me” singer then followed up asking what made Harvey feel powerful when she’s in a relationship with someone, to which she said her values, standards and her requirements.
“There are some superficial requirements, and you can cut down on those … but don’t compromise on core values and beliefs. Don’t give your power away to anybody. That I feel is the key to being truly happy in or out of a relationship.”
