[The Original Ape]

O.K. Ladies, as you know I like to read and I am currently reading "Do Right Man" by Omar Tyree. Now, this book is about a man who is the sensitive, nice guy type. He has many female friends. He is learning how to not be a pushover. As I began reading the book, I found myself saying out loud (as if he could hear me) - "Stop being a punk!! Stand up and be a man!" I am nearing the end of the book and he is learning, however some of the examples of his naivete are exasperating. From love to career he let's people run all over him.

I don't want to give the story away too much to those who haven't read it, but ladies, let's discuss what makes a man a good catch. Sexy Mocha started a discussion on "Signs Your Man Loves You" that got sorors, sisterfriends and others talking about the men in their lives. So, the questions are:
1. What makes a man a good catch?
2. Why do so many women go after the "Bad Boy" "Playa" types and get dogged out over and over again while letting the good men go.
3. What makes some men the "just a friend" type?

Ey. How are you Sistas of AKA?

When you hook up with a brotha that cares about you in every way; and wants to spend most of his available time with you doing the kinds of things that interests you-as well as the kinds of things that interests him, YOU HAVE A GOOD CATCH.

When you hook up with a brotha that compromises; today is your day, tomorrow is mine, and the day after is OURS-YOU HAVE A GOOD CATCH.

When you hook up with a brotha who checks you when you're wrong and accepts your checking him when he is wrong, YOU HAVE A GOOD CATCH.

When you hook up with a brotha who believes in sharing: who pushes your ambition and refuses to let you accept mediocrity; a brotha who demonstrates mutuality-YOU HAVE A GOOD CATCH.

When you find us, get your pride out of the way before you lose us! We don't come back.
