What we want in our men! GBAM

I do not have the copyright to this article. But I gladly acknowledge the author, and commend him/her for a job well done. I stumbled on this in 2010 and posted it and I loved the argument it generated. O My. I have since gotten myself married, and to be honest, I do not even remember if this mattered. Lol

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 & asking, 'Do youreally want to know?'
Reluctantly, he said, 'Yes.
She began to expound, 'As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position toask a man what can you 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 anyman... 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 & stated, 'I am notreferring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving forexcellence in every aspect of life.
He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, & asked her to explain.
She said, 'I need someone who is striving for excellence mentally because Ineed conversation & mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man.
I need someone who is striving for excellence spiritually because I don'tneed to be unequally yoked...believers mixed with unbelievers is arecipe for disaster.
I need a man who is striving for excellence financiallybecause I don't need a financial burden.
I need someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as awoman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.
I need someone who has integrity in dealing with relationships. Lies andgame-playing are not my idea of a strong man.
I need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader, priest andprovider to the lives entrusted to him by God.
I need someone whom I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respecthim.
I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. Ihave no problem being submissive.. .he just has to be worthy. Andby the way, I am not looking for him...He will find me. He will recognizehimself in me. Hey may not be able to explain the connection, but he willalways be drawn to me.God made woman to be a help-mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't helphimself.
When she finished her schpiel, she looked at him.
He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, 'You are asking alot.
She replied, "I'm worth a lot".
