by Tiyipanji GamaThere are so many times I have sat and thought about what kind of relationship I’d like to have at my age. What kind of man I would like to meet, and believe me when you do get to my spectacular age; the bar is raised even higher. There is simply no time to be messing about! As a woman you want to meet that man who was raised to say “no thanks, yes please, that was a lovely meal thank you, oh you sit and I’ll clear off the table…..”
The truth is men like that do exist. They are out there and walking tall, dark and handsome, as you can ever imagine.
These men are like a casserole dish, very well baked and really tasty in general. When presented to the public, the general outcome is quite delicious and no complaints on the feedback sheet. They are always baked with the right ingredients. They are like fine pasta with fresh tomato and a lot of onion. They have the right type of spices, good cheese with the soft white sauce. Absolutely ravishing!
The dish doesn’t always go well with everyone’s stomach, that’s the downfall, but when you get to my age, you learn to make choices. So I decide to eat my favorite dish and suffer the few hours of pain.
However, you do get your general dishes, rice with grilled chicken or beef stew. While, there’s not that much to be excited about this dish, as boring as it seems, every woman knows what comes with it. The meat and the rice with a touch of salt, very simple and straight forward. Sometimes, you get filled up on it, at times you do not even want to open the pots on the stove because you already know what to expect. And on bad days, you even contemplate driving out and getting something with a bit more kick in it, a burger, a slice of pizza, fried chicken and chips. Basically junk that will burn a hole in your pocket, while you convince yourself it is worth the satisfaction.
The bottom line is, as a woman, you want to know there’s a man who will make you absolutely happy. This is inclusive of tapping into her emotional, spiritual and sexual cores. When this is done, a woman will always enjoy returning the favor. It is very tasking to make a man happy, who doesn’t make you happy!
So what do women want?
In this harsh chauvinistic world, I admit, there are very few women who get what they want without compromising their principals. The rest tend to be cowards who do not want to be painted red with wording such as “gold digger.” The rules to what women really want are simple.
- A woman wants a man to be able to take care of her, independent or not.
- She wants her partner to be good to her and make her feel like she’s the only woman he ever wants to be with. That is just the way most women are built.
- Finally, security, a woman wants to know that the man she has chosen to spend her life with; can and will provide for a future. He has to be the one standing guard however primitive that may sound. But a man worthy of a good woman will show that he will provide a stable emotional, financial, sexual and spiritual livelihood for the rest of their lives together.
Otherwise, the woman might decide to skip the starter or the restaurant all together.

corny but possibly true
acacia on Sat, 06/05/2010 - 21:45i know that women have to be strong and hold out for what they want. at the same time we got to be realistic. so heres my solution.... take your time... the guy may not be mr. right the moment you meet... but get to know him, build things up. hey you may not be so perfect yourself, but as you grow together this allows you BOTH time to become better for each other. corny but possibly true.
Quite an interesting article

Interesting article...

MD on Fri, 12/18/2009 - 14:59Very interesting thoughts and I agree with you. My partner has to love me, protect me and provide for me. One thing I have learnt is when you meet 'THE ONE' you will know, maybe not instantly, but with time, when you realise it there will be no turning back. Just because they are 'THE ONE' does not guarantee that you will be together till your hair turns grey sitting on the porch watching your grand children playing games in the road. LOVE sometimes just is not enough.
