I Love Women

Today, a friend who I've lost contact with called me out of the blues and asked me the infamous question, “What do you want in a Man?”. Remembered I had two postings last year that sprung up quite a debate and hence forth, I am going to republish a combination of the articles with my own words added.

This is for you A...my notion of the Ideal Man.

“A man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life. A man who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. A man who is striving for perfection financially because I don’t need a financial burden. A man who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. A man who has patience and not pushing for a commitment I'm either unwilling to give or can't give at a point in time. A man who feels glad with my company just as much as I enjoy his. A man who is honest with me - my life has already been so full of negatives that I appreciate the positives - and honesty is one of them. A man who will allow me to be his friend - don't shut me out when trouble comes. I have a mind and ideas that may be useful - let me try to help. A man who will be my friend - listen to what I say - give me some feedback to show he’s listening to me - hug me when I'm down - kiss me when I hurt - hold me when I cry; be there holding my hand if I'm silent. It's sometimes just enough to know that he cares - and I'll do the same for him. A man whom I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn’t taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive…he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a help mate for man. I can’t help a man if he can’t help himself. And all in all, a man who loves me for me and who will never try and change me into someone I’m not for that was not who he fell in love with in the first place…”

Happy World Women's Day to all the ladies. Let's celebrate our independance, individualism and spirit as a woman in this day of age. Destiny's Child's 'Independant Women' is grooving in my head right now. Reckon it is the absolute choice for a theme song.

All the women who are independent, throw your hands up at me!
