When you’re the First Lady, you have at your disposal oodles of information—be it on the president, the state of the economy, or when you’ll get to slip into the latest Jason Wu dress. You probably also have tons of dating advice to give, which is what the Michelle Obama Glamour spread for December 2009 revealed.
Michelle Obama appears on the cover of Glamour as well as in one of the spreads which also feature seven White House interns. In the editorial, the First Lady dishes about life in the White House, her style, and what to look for in a guy (i.e. a peek into how she might have met the President). Here’s what Mobama told Glamour:
Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and 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… You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole.
