What this list tells us:

1. To be good in bed you have to be a thug or ghetto.
2. There is no such thing as a "good man"
3. Drama is fun, stability is boring.
4. The only thing important interms of "advantages are : sex, money, looks, material things.

Dang, are these truly the choices? Where is the good brother? Where is the Christian man? Where is the down to earth brother who's book and street smart?

What would we say if the men created lists about, oh,

Miss Sorority Sister
Advantages
1. College educated
2. Can cook like your grandmother!
3. Dresses well
Disadvantages
1. Will tell you in a heart beat that she has a degree so she don't need no man!
2. You find out after you break up with her (or marry her) that it was really her aunt burning in the kitchen and she would go pick up the meals from her house
3. Is over $50K in debt to look good
4. Doesn't want to give you any becuase she either jsut put clean sheets on the bed or just got her hair done.


Miss Intellectual
Advantages
1. Has Several degrees and working on another
2. Volunteers in the community and serves on several boards
3. Just got a promotion on her job
Disadvantages
1. Overweight and not that attractive
2. too busy to spend anytime with you
3. Won't get you a beer from the kitchen without going into a speech about the feminist movement
4. Asks "Where is this relationship going" after the second date

Miss Project Chick
1. The BOMB in bed!
2. Never asks questions about long term commitments
3. Will rub your feet if you ask her
4. Doesn't expect you to take her to upscale places
Disadvantages
1. Has 3 kids asking "you gon' be my daddy?
2. Always needs "a little help" with rent, groceries, light bill, etc.
3. Can't introduce her to your mother or your friends because you never know what she will wear/say.

It would be a bigger fight than what's going on with yellowflower on DST Blvd!

Without sounding preachy, there are some good brothers out there, and some no so good brothers out there. We have to make sure our radars are intune to the good brother frequency only, so that when the bad brother comes around we don't even give him the time of day, but when the good brother does we know him, even if he doesn't come in the package we thought he should.

Maybe it is the conversation I had with my husband this weekend, maybe it is because it is that time of the month, but I am really weary of the fighting between black men and women. If it ain't downlow brothers, it's more men in jail than colleges. If it's not project chicks with 3-4 kids by different daddies, it't the hard successful woman who will cut as soon as she looks at you.

It just makes me said.

O.K. I'm done. Carry on.
