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 without the help of any man. 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 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. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate 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're asking a lot."

She replied, " I'm worth a lot."

I might add, here, that a person should strive to be the best they can be. But to strive for perfection is an unrealistic goal. You only set yourself up for failure.

She does quantify what her version of perfection is though. It's not an ideal for everyone. It's just someone to fit her standards.

Everyone has their own version of that. I wouldn't call it perfection by any standard, just a willingness to better themselves mentally and spiritually and strive to do their best to be financially stable.

The word perfection is just a throw-off word here and a bit off-putting.wine

I might also add the term
"I am worth it" is also an immediate put-ff to me.


That denotes a very self-centered person. But that is just how I feel

I am sorry but you will never find someone like that. Also are YOU perfict? I am not and will never be. There has only been one perfict person and that was Jesus. He is not here now but he will be at some point in time. If perfict is what you are waiting for you will have to wait for him and he will take you, and all the others, with him. Don't expect any man here on earth to be perfict, we are not. Heck I am close but no cigar, I can't even spell right. Sorry to break your bubble. Hope you find someone that is trying to be perfict and don't push them to the side

No where does it say she is looking for perfection or a perfect person. She said STRIVING for perfection.


Striving, looking, searching, trying, being the operative words here.

I will catch hell for this...but then this is me.

I think women, in general, have a high opinion of themselves. I believe that in large, they have more of an ego problem than men. So I can see where they talk about "perfection". Men see themselves more realistically, in general, and know they have limits.

So I can see where women would expect perfection, because many see it when they look in the mirror. Thus they think "I am worth it" when expecting perfection from men!


JMO, of course
