Rihanna graces the August issue of Cosmopolitan (UK) and in the accompanying interview, she dishes on love, dating, what she finds attractive in a guy, being a “hunter” like men, and how she dealt with Chris Brown.

“I’m open to love. But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they want something else,” the international superstar says inside the mag.

“Men are like hunters: they like the chase. So you have to keep ’em guessing. Actually, I’m like that too. I get bored quickly,” she admits.

Dating Rihanna can’t be easy for the average Joe. She says: “It can definitely be intimidating to guys to date someone in this industry. It’s really hard to find a guy who really doesn’t care about that stuff. Right now, it’s easier just having my career to focus on.”

As for the Chris Brown altercation, Rihanna says, “It was an aggressive and defensive time, and allowed me to start not giving a s–t. I’ve always been good at masking my emotions.” Rihanna continues: “For me, it’s tougher to be vulnerable than to be tough.”

“I walked around with a very f*ck-you attitude.”
