A note to all Beautiful Black Women

A note to all Beautiful Black Women
Posted By: Tyron Taylor on November 14, 2005

Good Black Men are indeed all around you. You pass them on the streets, in the malls and the halls at work. Most you can't see because
you don't know what a good black man really looks like. He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn your heads. He might not wear a suit or drive 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 than someone who turns your head.

A good Black Man doesn't agree whole heartedly 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, yada yada he is(he doesn't have to because it shows).



He has his own opinions and you 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 Black 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 Black 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 your black men are no good. It's just not true.

Just a Good Black MAN being real with ya.

I agree as well. Media can be deceiving on terms of what a soulmate should be. We need to find ourselves first, then the person God wants us to have will be revealed.

T.T.,

Now when I first read this I agreed with what you said about what qualities a "Good" man would possess. I actually find that more appealing when a man is "real".

But then I read the comment from Ms Avia and I saw your message in a different light. Now you wrote this as a note to all BEAUTIFUL women. I think all women (beautiful or plain janes) want a man who is Honest yet respectful. If it was just the flash, $ and looks then we would all settle for less than the best. A man with good character I believe is what most women care for and deserve.

She's right...give us more credit than that. And if you happen to come across one who is expecting you to slip up, think about what got her there in the first place. You just have to be more determined. True your character should shine yet us ladies deserve a man who is willing to show it. If she doesn't see your true character then there is no point in pursueing. Let her deal with. She's not ready or you're just not the one for her. I wouldn't even focus on the ones who overlook the "Good" man. It's the one who notices and appreciates all his characteristics that is worth the time and devotion.

Beautifully stated my brother, just let me add my two cents. Before men or women start looking for that mate, let's look inside of ourselves to find out who we are, if we are confused, then chances are our selection will be based of the Euro description which is not ours. Peace and love
