Worth the wait..

In a brief conversation,

a man asked a woman
he was pursuing the question:

“What kind of man are you looking
for?”

She sat quietly for a moment before
looking him in the eye and asking,
“Do you really want to know?”

Reluctantly, he said “Yes.”

She began to expound…

“As a woman in this day and age,
I am in a position to ask a man
what he 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 man…
or woman for that matter.

I am in the position to ask,
“What can you bring to the table?”

The man looked at her.
Clearly he thought that she was
referring to money.
She quickly corrected his thought and
stated,
“I am not referring to money.

I need something more.
I need a man who is striving for
perfection
in every aspect of life.”

He sat back in his chair, folded his
arms,
and asked her to explain.

She said “I am looking for someone
who is striving for excellence
mentally
because I need conversation and mental
stimulation.
I don’t need a simple-minded man.

“I am looking for someone
who is striving for excellence
spiritually
because I don’t need to be unequally
yoked…
believers mixed with unbelievers is a
recipe for disaster.

“I need a man who is striving for
excellence financially because I don’t
need a financial burden.

“I am looking for someone
who I can respect. In order to be
submissive,
I must respect him. I cannot be
submissive to a man
who isn’t taking care of his business.
I have no problem being submissive…
he just has to be worthy.

“God made woman to be a help mate for
man.
I can’t help a man if he can’t help
himself.”

When she finished her spill, she
looked at him.
He sat there with a puzzled look on
his face.
He said, “You are asking a lot.”

She replied, “I’m worth a lot.”
