In a brief conversation, between a man/woman, this question was posed:
"What kind of a woman/man are you looking for?"
The 2 sat quietly for a moment before looking each other in the eye and asking. "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he/she said, "Yes." She/he began to expound...
"As a man/woman in this day and age, I'm in a position to ask a man/woman what he/she 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 'earthly' man/woman.
I'm in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"
The man/woman looked at each other. Clearly, he/she thought that he/she was referring to money.
She/he quickly corrected his/her thought and stated, "I'm not referring to money. I need something more." "I need a man/woman who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."
He/she sat back in their chair, folded his/her arms, and asked her/him to explain.
She/he said, "I'm looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally.... because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man/woman."
"I'm 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/woman who is striving for perfection financially... because I do not need a financial burden. I'm looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman/man, but strong enough to keep me grounded.
I'm looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him/her. I cannot be submissive to a man/woman who is not taking care of his/her business. I have no problem being submissive...he/she 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/he finished her/his spill, she/he looked at him/her.
He/she sat there with a puzzled look on his/her face. He/she said, "You're asking a lot." She/he replied, "I'm worth a lot."
Can you really go from an ongoing intimate relationship with someone, to one of just being Friends? I have pondered and pondered this. I think perhaps men can do this easier than women...Tell me your thoughts and/or experiences with this.
