Time & Perspective Quote by Cher

It lands like a wink with a cigarette holder: half self-help aphorism, half dare. Cher takes the most overpoliced story in straight culture - the patient girl waiting to be chosen - and flips it into a schedule she controls. The “right man” still exists in the sentence, almost as a concession to romantic destiny, but he’s demoted to a future appointment. The present tense belongs to her.

The subtext is less about promiscuity than about refusing the moral math women are taught: that time spent with “wrong ones” is wasted, that desire must be justified by permanence, that dating is a job interview for marriage. Cher’s line insists pleasure is not a down payment on commitment; it’s allowed to be the point. The cheeky phrasing (“wonderful time,” “all the wrong ones”) keeps it from sounding like a manifesto. It’s playful enough to dodge the purity police while still poking them in the eye.

Context matters because Cher’s whole public persona is survival plus spectacle. She built a career on reinvention, on refusing to age quietly, on broadcasting autonomy in sequins. Coming from her, the quote reads as performance philosophy: life is long, men are optional, and joy is not something you postpone until the universe delivers a soulmate. It’s also a subtle critique of scarcity thinking in romance. If the “right man” is rare, Cher’s answer isn’t to sit politely on a shelf; it’s to live like you’re the prize.
