Speaking about romance in general, Lathan holds a critical view of what women are taught from a young age. She believes that the magical fantasies society sells to little girls, such as "Cinderella" or "Snow White," are unhealthy.

Lathan believes it sends the message that women need a man to feel like winners. However, she states that a woman's self-confidence should come from inside and not outside, so she prefers to put herself first.

She also pointed to the failure of relationships, especially the high divorce rate, stating that it seems like a waste of time to put so much into something that will eventually collapse. However, Lathan is not a complete cynic and still believes in love --- just with one eye open.
