What am I looking for a man..
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 with out 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. (amen to that!)
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 and isn't taking care of our love. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. 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."
She replied "I'm worth a lot."

while I agree with your post Red, I'm sure a similar one could be written with a role reversal....;)

The open mind is a great gift, everything works if two people have an open mind, nothing is hidden from eachother. Best of luck to you in your search, Fred

Whoever wrote this thing really has a way with words. Many folks say/think they want a "soulmate". I wonder how many of us, male or female, can live up to this.

I tend to agree to most of your statements....there is nothing wrong with being independent and self-supportive. I would also remind you that God designed a family to include and husband and a wife. Too many people forget this. Everyone has faults and I mean everyone. One of the qualities I look for is flexibilty and willingness to work through any situation.. BB

I am sure such a man exsists though what does she do when his expectations end up surpassing hers ??? You keep your head in the clouds to how great a person had to be, then you have to be aware that the "one" that meets all your specs might themsleves have a heft price of "have to's" you'll have to stand up too.

And then "she" woke up from her dream.. Life is difficult enough without having to ask someone to jump through these hoops. Can't we just accept people for who they are without expecting the brass ring from them?
[QUOTE] "He said "You are asking a lot." She replied "I'm worth a lot." "
Perfection is never obtainable..asking someone to strive for it just raises the bar.
Think about it before jumping on me here. Many years ago life was simpler. But today you have to run faster...jump higher ..make more money ..wear/ buy the right clothes ..say the right things ..have the newest and best new thing (car, toy, computer, etc.) or people label you as a "runner up" in life. It just seems sad to me that everyone thinks that the top ten percent is the 'only' choice for them rather than 'seeing everyone for who they are, and how they can relate to them in every day life.'
Sometimes I have to add my two cents when I see things I don't understand or agree with. This was one of them.

And then the woman threw all this out the window when she met a man she felt an incredible attraction for regardless of what she said she wanted... 
No problems with what was said here except for realistic vs unrealistic expectations. Many people say they want something like this but are unwilling to put forth the "work" on themselves to actually be the same as well. That other "perfect" person isn't the answer to a happy life. It's what's inside of you that matters.
