A very good friend of mine posted a blog discussing the importance of commitment. Now, knowing her, she's a hopeless romantic and that's one thing I love about her. She wants the prince charming, the glass slipper & the castle in the sky, and she deserves all of those things. As well you I do, and any other good woman. But, I can't help but think to myself, are we as women being realistic is what we want?
Men have a hard enough time being themselves, imaging playing prince charming? That's a lot of weight on one persons shoulders. Women are very emotional creatures so we want men to listen, and be "understanding". Men on the other hand are very simple. They know what they want (for the most part) and that's what they go by.
So my question is, are we wasting too much time trying to mold the man into who we want him to be, or are we appreciating him for who he is.. stained shirts & holes in the socks..
In my opinion ladies, we can't have it all. Therefore we need to cut the list of requirements short. If you have a good man who loves you and is attentive, appreciate him. Those are like 4 leaf clovers.. rare to find. Most of the time we throw away a good thing because we pick at these men all day long.
Maybe I'm just not as romantic or demanding. I appreciate the small things. A morning phone call, a kiss to the forehead, the slight holding of hands during a movie, the random "I love you" during an episode of Sex & The City, but most of all the company of a good man.

Aww tiffy... Love ur comment u left me. And I must agree wit u. Yes sometimes the love of a good man is good enough and all. And for some marriage is a tax break and medical benefits. Luckly for me, I got all that on me own(lol). But the way I see this is, I know the type of female I am, yes, hardheaded at times, stubborn and all that but at the same time I'm dedicated and a wonderful person and when I love I love hard(lol, feel like I'm advertsing myself here) but u know what I mean, and wit all the bullshit I been through in my life,I feel like I deserve my happy ending. Lol(I'm such a lil girl at heart) lol... I must admit stability has to do wit it also, even though I have that as well... But .. My thing is, marriage is sacred and shouldn't be just jumped into wit just anyone but when u find that person u know u can't live without, a commitment shouldn't be a problem. Fyi:: ill settle for a ring and a trip to city hall...lmaooooo!!!! I'm just a hopeless romantic... Lol... Love ya tiffy!!!
