As for me...NO THANKS!!!

My boyfriend is probably considered a "Nerd" (*lol*). He doesn't do any of the following listed above and is interested in computers and electronics. But that doesn't mean he's spineless or wimpy. Not at all!!! And goodness knows that I am spoiled (let him tell it ), but he doesn't let me get awat with ish!

Neither him nor I was"raised in the streets" so street credibility means nothing to us.

Just remember ladies, there are more than two types of brothas out there! You can have you cake and eat it too!

I was not "raised in the streets" so I have no street credibility.

I believe some good girls date thugs, so they can have a man who is "respected".

The biggest male influence in my life has been my father, so I have found characterics in him that I would like in a mate and trust me he does not have ounce of thug in him. But through his career, community service, and his service to our church, people respect him. So, I know our AA males can find respect through other means some just may not know how.
