In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question 'What kind of man are you looking for?'

She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, 'Do you really want to know?'

Reluctantly, he said, 'Yes.' She began to expound...

'As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, 'What can you bring to the table?' The man looked at her.

Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, 'I am not referring to money.

'I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life.' He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.

She said, 'I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man.

I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked...believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.

I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden.

I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.

I am looking for someone who 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 helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself.

When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, 'You are asking a lot.


She replied, 'I'm worth a lot.'


Remember, that what we ask for, we must be able to give in return.

Wow that is a great post. Thank you for putting out there. That is exactly how I think. Ladies quit selling yourselves short! If they need to, the gentlemen will live up to our expectations. We are enabling them to be less then what we expect.

Thanks Cook and littleredhen... I found it to be very fitting as everyone is always asking what we want in a man.

Figured this ought to help those who still have questions/doubts... lolflowerforyou

Too bad I don't want a submissive woman. I want my equal.

I don't that this message is promoting submissiveness in general, but at times I definatly want to be able to relax & feel secure in knowing that my partner can be trusted to lead. I think you should take turns, acording to your talents, knowledge & even moods. Sometimes it's nice to be able to say, "I am tired, I trust you, you decide."
