I am a woman who knows what I want out of life. No, I am not a %#&@$!, just motivated to have
some of the good things in life. And no I am not materialistic. I am proud of my academic
accomplishments along with other things I have done in my life. Yes, I am well educated and
intelligent, but I don`t consider my self to be more important than others, not at all like that. I am
single with no children. I love to travel and I love meeting new people. I am open-minded and
optimistic. I have been told I am a wonderful listener. When I am not working, I love to relax and
spend time with my family and friends. I have a great sense of humor and I love using it to put
smiles on the faces of others. It is a joy to me to make others laugh. I guess you could say I am
still single because I have not came into contact with the "right" man yet. No, I am not picky or
have extremely high, unreachable expectations. I just have not come across a man who deserves
to have me in his life. No, I am not modest or think too much of myself. I am not like that at all. I
just desire a man in my life who is going to cherish and respect me as I will him. I would love to
share my life with a "God-fearing" man who is sincere, kind, honest, intelligent, hard-working,
etc. I have not come across this man yet and I guess this is why I am still single.
Good Black Men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets, in the malls, and at work.
Most we can't see because we don't know what a good man really looks like. He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn our heads.
He might not wear a suit or push a Lexus. He might not have a
body like Tyson with a Denzel face. But, as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back rather than someone who turns your head.
A good man doesn't agree wholeheartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He doesn't declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, etc. he is (he won't have to because it shows).
He has his own opinions and yours may clash, but he doesn't
have to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same.
A good man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is
human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes.
He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that you
don't live to catch him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you were a dog!"
A good man isn't insecure about his woman having great achievements. In fact, he is her number one supporter and becomes disappointed with her when she begins to lose herself, especially for the sake of not hurting his feelings, or only wanting to make him happy.
His happiness comes with seeing her excel in her dreams and accomplishing her goals. For as she excels and is exalted, a good woman will bring her good man right along with her.
A good man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him. Don't judge him by TV standards. No one is really living a fairy tale. You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that our men are no good. It's just not true.
A good black man is a man of his word. He says what he means and means what he says. His word is his bond. He never leaves you wondering if he is going to call or show up - he is dependable.
A good black man has a love and a heart for his Higher Power. As his relationship and love with that Higher Power grows so will his relationship and love with and for you grow...
Our beautiful black men we salute you, appreciate you and thank you for who you are and all you've done.
