Rihanna’s sixth album in as many years, Talk That Talk, finally hits stores today, and the AMA winner stopped by The Ellen Show to promote her new LP — and give a glimmer of hope for all the men out there hoping to score a chance with the “We Found Love” singer. “I am not dating anyone right now,” she tells Ellen. “I am not dating at all… I am not necessarily happy being single. It’s not really that cool.” Take the jump to find out what RiRi’s type of man is — but if you’re in any way intimidated by the pop star, you best move along.

Rihanna, who was named the Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire magazine, says she’s into “aggressive but mysterious men”, and that if the guy is too intimidated by her success or her fame, then it definitely won’t work out. “I like him to be sure of himself and know you are the man and I am the lady,” says RiRi. “This will work if we play our roles. I can’t be the man for you. I am the man at work.”

As for singledom, she says, “It is what it is. There are things that… Let me say this right,” said the singer, taking her time to choose her words carefully. “Not make it like my work is my everything. I do put a lot into my job. It definitely affects my personal life.”

“My personal life is non-existent, which is not good, for the long run,” she adds, “Not for me, not for her.” Take a wild guess who “her” refers to.
