a link up
a fellow blogger wrote an answer to an email that i fowarded to him. both the mail and the answer are quite insightful and make an intresting read.
enjoy!
below is what i fowarded:
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."
to which he has answered from a mans point of view:
In a brief conversation, a woman asked a man she was pursuing the question, "What kind of woman are you looking for?"He sat quietly for a moment before looking at her in the eyes and asking, "Do you really want to know?" Reluctantly, she said, "Yes."He began to expound... "The point in life and career I am at, at this time, I would like to ask a woman what she has to offer that I can't get already. I have no shortage of friends, both male and female. I am never alone nor lonely. What I really want to ask a woman is, "What can you bring to the table?"The woman looked at him. Clearly she thought that he was referring to sex.He swiftly corrected her thought and stated, "I am not referring to sex, youth or anything of the sort. In fact, I need nothing. I simply need a woman who is striving for harmony in every aspect of life." She sat back in her chair, folded her arms, puzzled but intrigued, and asked him to explain.He said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for harmony mentally, so that she does not rethink and redoubt every decision she makes on a day-to-day basis, including her decision to be with me; and because I need the reassurance that she is on the same wavelength mentally as I am. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because ideals based on tales and heros from novels and movies is a receipe for disaster. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand that, as a male, I too can get hurt by words but strong enough to accept that despite all my good traits and bad, I have limitations and shortcomings, just like her. I am looking for someone who respects me for who I am. In order for me to be always loyal to her, she must respect me. I cannot be loyal to a woman who always doubts my morality and loyalty to her. I have no problem if she does not want to act submissive; for me to be fully committed to her, she must consider me worthy of her trust and respect. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't seek help from a woman who thinks she could have had a better deal with someone else".When he finished his spill, he looked at her. She sat there with a puzzled look on her face.She asked, "You are asking a lot."He replied, "I can afford it. Now if you'll excuse me; Cindy is waiting."
