Michelle Obama on Dating: "Cute Only Lasts for So Long"

Wednesday – October 28, 2009 – 11:45am

All the single ladies: Michelle Obama has some pointers for finding Mr. Right versus Mr. Right Now.

"Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long," Obama tells fellow powerbroker Katie Couric in December's "Women of the Year" issue of Glamour magazine. "Then it's 'Who are you as a person?' Don't look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul ... When you're dating a man, you should always feel good."

Look back at President Obama's inauguration

The cover girl, 45, also comments on the public's nonstop obsession with her clothes. "People have a right to their opinions, particularly when you're the First Lady; you're representing the nation," she reasons. "So I can't be surprised that people are interested. But I've tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else's reflection."

Check out the styles Michelle Obama rocked during her trip to Europe

And how does the President's multitasking wife and mother to Sasha and Malia keep her sanity in check? "I have always tried to put my kids first, and then . . . put myself a really close second, as opposed to fifth or seventh. One thing that I've learned from male role models is that they don't hesitate to invest in themselves."

See how Michelle's look has transformed

    Buckcherry, thanks for demonstrating a classic case of "mirroring" for the class. I hear it's more contagious than the swine flu.
  • October 29, 2009 - 1:15pm Ms. Davis Says:

    As far as her dating comments, well said. Cute is nice, but that doesn't keep you together. Compatibility is a long word, but even a deeper pool. I wish more women would wise up to that.

    It is plain to see why our country is in shambles, your right wing biggots are coming out in droves to spew their vile propaganda:-) Once again we have the left trying to clean up the mess your braintrust GWB left behind like his father before him and your movie star who if you don't remember got the same kind of press when in office as the Obama's because he was really a movie star and not a POTUS;-) Come on now I know you can make up some more BS and talk that Socialism crap like you have been trained by your ignorant parents before you! Tell ya what, you go ahead and bring Sarah back all preened for 2012 and we shall see just how smart the GOP really is:-0 LOL

    It's obvious Michelle Obama wasn't looking for cute considering what she married.

    Shame on all of you you!! Even if she wasnt the First Lady of this Great Nation, She is a woman and an American and as such she should be given the due respect as an American and a woman who has come a long way. Which one of you can tell me what this woman has done to you to deserve such hate? You cant call yourself a true American if you hate other Americans.

    KRC: Has it ever occurred to you that the reason these two are more exposed than any other first couple is technology and 24 hour news feeds? Every media outlet needs a different story. Even Fox News focuses on the Obamas.
  • October 29, 2009 - 8:04am STOPTHE MADNESS Says:

    I CANT WAIT TO GET THESE IDIOTS OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. WHAT A BUNCH OF LIARS AND FAKES.
  • October 29, 2009 - 2:29am Ms. Right Says:

    To KRC The Obamas spend so much time in the media to sell their policies not themselves. For example, Michelle is concerned with the quality of life for the military and their families. Citizens and people all over the world are intrigued by this couple. If answering a few silly seeming questions will bring attention to certain areas - why not?
  • October 29, 2009 - 2:25am Ms. Right Says:

    To AMO, The First Lady has talked about other things, but remember this is US Weekly giving an excerpt of the Glamour magazine interview not Meet the Press. In addition, I want to know her secrets on finding "The One" that was meant to be for her. I like hearing love stories in general. I have had pleasant experiences, but I am still looking to figure out when someone will make an ideal husband, etc.
  • October 28, 2009 - 11:58pm AMO Says:

    Two questions... Why is she commenting on dating? AND Why is she on the cover of Glamour??? Thanks for making me laugh today!
  • October 28, 2009 - 11:14pm anonymous Says:

    KRC: The first lady doesn't have any power. It's not like she can introduce bills in Congress or anything. What is she supposed to do?
  • October 28, 2009 - 10:37pm Patty Jones Says:

    Patty Jones There have only been three first ladies in US history with higher degrees and Michelle has already proved that she is smart. If you cannot even graduate high school you are not qualified to talk to a double ivy JD about anything!
  • October 28, 2009 - 7:47pm KRC Says:

    I am personally tired of the Obama's and their photospreads and prime time interviews. Very unpresidential and first ladylike in my opinion! Why don't they spend their time working on the problems of our country instead of selling themselves!! Never before has a president and first lady been so preoccupied with being so visible. And what has the first lady done except the hoola hoop and magazine covers? Answer: NOTHING!
  • October 28, 2009 - 7:31pm rm2h Says:

    She is so beautiful. I believe that she goes to charities and other functions which we the public do not even know about. She was interviewed in the last edition of Prevention magazine and they had a great picture of her and the President. I enjoyed the article very much.
  • October 28, 2009 - 7:25pm sharon Says:

    I meant more along the lines of public service. I think Mrs. Obama is a great mother and wife but if I were a first lady, I would be out there in the heart of America speaking and encouraging Americans instead of having photo shoots but maybe thats just me. And as for the serving my country part, my husband does that thank you very much which is why I have not seen him in 3 months. God bless!

    Shame On You: Apparently you haven't heard about the crooked things she has done. By the way, Hulk Hogan wants his WWF belts back that she wears, which only accentuates her behind (it already has its own zip code so it doesn't need those riduculous dog collars whe wears directly under her chest to make it look bigger).
