Well Dirty, I don't know about a true "thug", but I do want a man who can hold his own. My sweetie hasn't been to college, however, he's highly intelligent and speaks very well, but if push comes to shove, he can get "thugged out"!!

I don't think I'd want him acting thuggish all the time though. Of course, people perceive thuggish differently also. So, I guess it's all how you look at it. My ideal man would be 10% Tupac, 40% Cedric the Entertainer, and 50% Tavis Smiley...IMHO
