“ A scarlet flagstone to me [ was ] always with a woman that had a kid . Nothing against single women , but single mother with children are a red flagstone for me . ”

Marques Houstonexplained why he didn’t like dating women his own age beforemarryinghis 22-year-old wife, Miya Houston.

Speaking to Page Six, Marquessaidhe often found that older women had a different “outlook” on life than him. “I could have married a 41-year-old, and it could have been disastrous,” he said. “‘Cause I’ll sit and talk to women, women that are my age, and they kind of have a different outlook on life.”

“Like a lot of women my age are very independent. They are very like, ‘I don’t need a man to do this for me ’cause I can do it for myself.’ I come from a generation that I love to provide for my wife,” Marques said, adding that he would “never” want to date a woman who wouldn’t want to be dependent on her partner.

He also said older women tend to carry “baggage.”

“A red flag to me [was] always with a woman that had a kid,” he said. “Nothing against single women, but single mothers with children are a red flag for me.”

“I would talk to my dad a lot, and he would always tell me to have your own kids because you never know what the baby daddies are about," Marques continued. “So if you’re gonna have kids, make sure it is with a woman that never had kids. So that was always my red flag…and a woman with an attitude. I don’t like women with funky attitudes.”

Marques added that he’s dated “so many different women” throughout his life, but said “it just so happens to be that [Miya] caught [his] heart.”

“She’s beautiful and smart and talented, and she’s caring and loving, and she’s everything I saw myself being in a relationship with,” he said.

Marques met Miya through a mutual friend when she was still a teenager, and he has been accused by fans of grooming her. He’s defended the relationship andsaidthey didn’t become romantic until she was 18. But even so, fans still think it’s all just weird and gross:

I wish well Marques Houston would kibosh trying to explain being a pedophile .

Idc what the circumstances are - date stamp somebody you met as a CHILD when you were an grownup is sick behavior

Whoever marques Houston ’s PR repp is require to tell him to stop opening his rima oris lmao every conviction he just solidifies himself more and more as a groomer https://t.co/znzH5fEszm

Marques Houston is a creep . No matter how he taste to slice it or cube it , he was talking to and engaging with a minor . What do you even talk about with a adolescent who is n’t home or a god child as a 35 + yr one-time man to build a connection ?
