Dream man = My worst nightmare

"Why are you single"... I get asked this question at least 20 times a day. . . So I'm going to give you all a little in site as to why I am single. It goes a lot deeper than the typical "just haven't found the right man" or "all men are dogs" scenario. Truth be told there are a looooooooooot of good men out there. But truth be told, women don't really want a "good man". And when you sit down and think about it. . . what truly is a "good man"? A good man for your sister may in fact be furthest from what you want in a mate. Let me take this one step further . . .
I call myself the "prototype" because I believe that i am (much) of what every man wants in a woman. You may find that statement cocky but this is what i mean. 7 days a week i'm in the gym. If i want something i go get it. I never ask anyone else for anything that i cannot do for myself. i am a lady in the streets and only those that have layed down with me can speak on what i am between the sheets ;). I'm far from selfish. If there is ANYTHING i can do for my man to make him happier, i'll do it. You hungry: what can i fix you to eat? Your back hurts: let me find the hot oil. You sad: what can i do to make you smile? She did something you like that i'm not: what is it? That's just who i am. I truly want to give my man the world. Now i KNOW that it's not possible but the very fact that i would if i could means much more than the fact that it's not possible. Now this is the kicker. . . He should want to do the same. i don't want the world. . . NEVER did. But my man should think that i deserve it and should want to be the one to give it to me. The men that i've been with/dated/pursued etc. did not.
Now before you get to complaining, i'm with the men on this subject. A LOT of it falls back on me and who i am attracted to. Yet i cannot help who i am attracted to... so it is a fool filled situation. . . and the epitome of insanity (doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome). But there is no simple solution. I cannot help nor change who i am attracted to.
The logical question one would ask next is what exactly is my "dream" man... I'm far from Chili but i do have a few characteristics that attract me. Confidence is a turnon. . . I love a man that is confident. If you don't believe in yourself, then why the hell should i? Don't get me wrong. . . confidence is faaaaaaaaar from conceit. That will get you the boot quicker than a meter officer writes a ticket when your quarter runs out. Ambition is also a big one. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be content with what you have but you should always have a hunger for bigger and better things in your career/life. So you make 50K a year... you should be trying to figure out who makes 50Mil a year and what they have that you don't. And it's not all about money. Hell if the neighbors grass is a little greener (no pun intended here i'm seriously talking about grass) then you should ask him how he's keepin the weeds out. Pride in your personal appearance. This is a huge one. If i take the time to get my nails done and put on a dress, you need to shave and get the dirt from under your nails. I don't care if you change tires for a living, you need not come out the house looking like you changed one at your bedside. Also, as i mentioned previously, i go to the gym. . . you should too. not only does this guarantee that you'll live longer but you'll be attractive to me with your clothes off. Nothing makes me drier than a beer belly and man boobs... <-- just being honest.This is why i am attracted to most athletes. . . if you are an athlete or a former athlete you have the drive to get up and go to the gym. . . you also know what it takes to get in shape... Moving along. . . Educate yourself. You should be able to quote lines Jesus as well as Jeezy. You should know what's really going on in the world not what's going on on worldstar. . . This doesn't lend itself only to those who have graduated from a credited institution or "higher learning"... no no no. not by any means. i've met some of the most uneducated people ever while i was IN college. This just means that their are millions of portals of information out there. . . always have a hunger for more knowledge. Financial stability is important as well. No this does not make me a gold digger. I did not say anywhere in this passage that i wanted to be taken care of financially... I have my own money... you should too. Check to check does not attract me simply because you're either (1) living above your means or (2) have a lack of ambition to go after more.
There are a few more things here and there that will either make or break a potential mate (ohhhhh shiiiit i'm rhymin. . . someone call the mixtape weezy)<--kiddin... but the bottom line is, with these things comes (what i'm looking for in a man) comes power. A power that most women are looking for, which in itself leads to a problem. The lower the supply, the higher the demand. If seemingly every woman is looking for these things in a man, then the demand is high. . . thus giving sed man the power to choose. This lends itself to be detrimental to a woman of substance. You either (1) have to lower your standards . . .or (2) stoop to the level of chasing/degrading yourself to be with a man . . . of which i will do neither sooooooooooo i'm single.
Dont get me wrong... been down both of those roads before. I've tried to go for a "different type of guy" the one that would give me the shirt off of his back but was a little hard on the eyes. . . or turning my head at the signs of my man cheating on me because i loved the "lifestyle". . . but the bottom line is that fairytale has always comes to an end in a nightmare on elm street. . .
So ready for my nightmare to end and my happily ever after to begin... Good Morning!
