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".

Dear DSTV,

DSTV Seems to have touched nerves this season. Below is an open letter to DSTV by an angry customer. I laughed hard when this was sent to me by Mistah Cole. Image courtes y  teeveetee.blogspot.com Dear DSTV, "I am writing this letter to you,  Multichoice/DStv , as a client of yours who has been with the company since the 90's when it was still known and referred to as  Multichoice , and i have to say- this is an ALL time low for you guys as you are now obviously out of content despite your exorbitant rates. Some few months ago, you increased the fees for bouquets and also "added" some new scam stations which would normally have pacified people. However this was not to be the case as the repetition of content only increased. For some weeks now a number of movies have been on heavy rotation. Examples of such movies are Jackie Chan's THUNDERBOLT, DIE ANOTHER DAY,  TOMORROW  NEVER DIES and all the other James Bond movies (Except CASINO ROYALE, QUA...

Food-Xperiments

Image
Recently, I have been trying my hands out on some food -Xperiments, been reading Food Blogs like the dailies and been discovering some amazing food secrets like the Sesame Seed Oil (thanks to my food network watching cousin)!!! I'm not a big eater, in fact I can be perfectly defined as "the lady that does not eat" I get comments like "that's why you're not fat" "when you won't eat" "you need to eat" yada yada yada. I tell anyone who cares to listen, food is not the reason I'm not fat. In fact, while I may not be a big a eater, the composition of my tiny meals will send any one with fat genes to the gym. I love any meal that comes with colour and has an aroma that has me sniffing around. So I basically try to turn everyday meals into something with an aroma and color or a different shape. Sometimes, I stand at the door to my refrigerator and just keep staring. My financial industry work has me staring at every food ...

Locks of Love; Jazz or Not?

Image
The Pont des Arts and Pont de l'Archeveche in Paris have been re-branded by tourists from all over. Neither of these bridges still maintain their original identity, they are now known simply for the hundreds of padlocks attached to the bridge. To be honest, I do not even remember which one of these two bridges I crossed, all I remember seeing is an unbelievable number of padlocks. From the foot of either bridge, tourists are met with hundreds of padlocks either attached directly to the railings of the bridge or attached to other already attached padlocks on the bridge. Let me give a brief history of the locks of love before I throw on my African cap. Couples go to these bridges prepared to “seal” their love with a padlock. This is obvious from the fact that most of the padlocks have engraved names while some simply have names inscribed with a felt pen. They call it a symbol of love and commitment (whatever happened to the wedding ring).  The lovers, both of whom mus...
