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 you really
want to know?' Reluctantly, he said, 'Yes. She began to expound, 'As a
woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask 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 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 & stated, 'I am not
referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving
for excellence 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 I need conversation &
mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. I need someone who
is striving for excellence 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 excellence financially
because I don't need a financial burden. I need someone who is sensitive
enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to
keep me grounded. I need someone who has integrity in dealing with
relationships. Lies and game-playing are not my idea of a strong man. I
need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader, priest and
provider to the lives entrusted to him by God. I need someone 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. And by the way, I
am not looking for him...He will find me. He will recognize himself in
me. Hey may not be able to explain the connection, but he will always be
drawn to me. God made woman to be a help-mate 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.
