Whoopi Goldberg is once again giving us a peek into her dating life — and offering some sage advice along the way.
On a Tuesday episode of “The View,” Goldberg referenced a recent article in The Atlantic that discussed how women in America are struggling to find suitable romantic partners.
“For me, I like a hit-and-run,” Goldberg revealed. “I like a hit-and-run, because I am not interested in a committed relationship.”
Though the actor isn’t exactly a fan of commitment, she did have some advice to offer the public.

“One of the things that makes me so sad is that people don’t know how to meet each other,” the “Ghost” actor explained. “They don’t know how to go out and just have a good time. Forget how much money you’re making. We’re here at the bar. Let’s eat some chips, let’s eat one of these nasty potatoes and see what’s going on.”
The EGOT-winner was met with applause from the audience after noting that The Atlantic article said many women have given up on dating altogether.
Co-host Sunny Hostin exclaimed, “The audience agrees!” with a shocked expression, asking, “Romance is dead?”
“Perhaps it’s not that romance is dead,” Goldberg responded. “Perhaps you’re looking for things that are not in your lane.” The “Color Purple” star complained that men have “decided that the women you’re looking at are not good enough” or that “they’re not pretty enough.”

Goldberg then stressed the importance of “staying in your lane” when it comes to dating. She emphasized the importance of strong communication and building mutual, lasting connections.
The actor later joked, “Don’t listen to me, because I don’t live with another human being.” The “Sister Act” star has stated that she does not want to be married again.

Hostin, who has been “happily married” for 26 years, admitted that she was out of touch with dating as she read one staggering statistic.
“While 61% of men are still actively looking for their partner, 38% of single women say, ‘I’m good, I’m good by myself.’”
