what kind of man are you looking for?

Sebetulnya sudah lama gue mau menanggapi imel Dinda tentang perempuan mandiri dan apa sebetulnya masalah kaum adam dengan perempuan2 jenis itu. Cuma gue bingung harus menanggapi apa, karena masalah gue pun sebetulnya gak jauh2 dari itu.

Tapi sekarang gue sudah tau tanggapan apa yang mau gue kasih ke Dinda, termasuk juga buat yang lain2. Kali ini gue gak berencana berbagi cerita atau pengalaman pribadi, gue hanya mau mem-forward sebuah imel yang baru saja gue terima dari seorang teman. Imel itu juga tidak berisi kisah nyata si teman, hanya imel forward-an standar tentang percakapan antara seorang lelaki yang bertanya kepada seorang perempuan tentang tipe lelaki yang dicarinya.

Dan buat gue, jawaban si perempuan bisa dibilang mewakili apa yang juga gue inginkan. Coba deh kalian baca cerita di bawah ini. Mungkin kalian akan merasakan hal yang sama.

A wonderful message for single women. And for married women to pass onto their single friends, enjoy it...

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.

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 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. 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."
