What you really want????

Michelle Obama, Coretta Scott King????

Melyssa Ford, Karrine Stephens???

Tell me what do you really want? Or do you know?

I've been reading a lot of posts lately, men are coming out and saying they want them a woman like Michelle Obama, a down for her man woman, a smart woman, not bad on the eyes, but certainly no supermodel, has character, has fire, can stand on her own, is his "behind every good man woman", a lover, a wife, a mother, a friend, a constant supporter. I hear y'all cheering in the background, yeah, now that's a good catch. You say, you want you a Coretta, they just don't make them like that anymore, lovely, dedicated, supportive, will be with you for the rest of your life. A woman that all women look up to...you say you want a Coretta, a Michelle, BUT! and yeah that's a big azz BUT, you still chasing Melyssa and sometimes Karrine. You showcase these women, their assets (let me run them down to you), great bodies, beautiful faces, pretty skin, nice feet, pretty smile, big booty, big breast, ummm, ummm, probably (well that's no probably for Ms. Stephans) good in bed, will be the freak of all freaks, and keep you coming back for more. Now, you won't find Melyssa and Karrine everywhere you hangout...she most likely won't be at the local sports bar, nor hanging in the same mall you frequent, she won't be at your boys house, at the club, or VIP section your boys hooked you up with and so, you pick the next best thing....right, someone who looks like them. There is no shortage of sexy, beautiful women in this country, they are all over the place and you don't even have to go to a strip bar to see them naked.

There is also no shortage of beautiful, intelligent, witty, down to earth, loyal, spirit-filled women who got your back, "behind every good man", type of women...you just have to SEE them and learn to appreciate them.

So back to the question at hand...what do you really want?

12kyle said...

ooooooooo weeeeeee!!! i love this!! i really do. here's mah pennies

I think that most men would want a woman that embody all of the characteristics that you've described. If I had my pick, she'd have Michelle's brain, Coretta's lineage, Melissa's body, and Karrine's sex game. LMAO!!!

Seriously, if a man is SERIOUS about having a long term relationship and a long marriage then he'd better take Michelle. Personally, I want to be mentally stimulated as much as I am physically. Women who are supermodels don't always look like that. They get old just like any other woman. If you're married at 58 yrs old, then you probably won't be having the same kinda sex that you did when you were 28. I want an intelligent woman. Nobody is gonna marry a chickenhead like Karrine. She's good for what she's good for...until the next chick comes along.

Lastly, some men wouldn't know a good woman if she punched him in the stomach. Some of us are too busy looking for the wrong thing. And in the meantime, a lottttta good ones get passed up.

12kyle said...

sorry about the sermon...lol

btw...who says that Michelle can't do what Karrine does??? And maybe she can do it betta!!!!!

Rich said...

I want it all, and I ain't bragging, but I got it.

Holla!

Good Post.

Mizrepresent said...

PCD - so you hear me, loud and clear! lol!

Keisha - gurl, i'm just saying what millions of bloggers are thinking. You hear me!

12kyle - Yep,you are so right my brotha...we can do it all...but most men don't see that, bc they are looking for the visual over the mental...here's hoping that a change is in place.

Rich - you got yourself a good woman...you are a rare breed and so is Chelle...you betta keep that in check my bruh, she's a keeper. She is the total package...and i am so glad you recognize! Kudo's to you!

Nicole said...

Whew! You've been reading my mind. I have a male friend who's on his third "Karrine" of the year but whining about how he can't find a woman worth marrying. And don't ask how or where he's been meeting these women...one was literally hanging on the street corner, outside a club at 2am, drinking with her friends. For a college-educated man, he's not too bright.

Tony OH said...

I'm with 12 Kyle on this one, I believe Michelle will break a brother off, you can look in her eyes and tell, they are the windows to the soul and trust me she gets busy...lol

Now, first things first! To put it in perspective, a person has to be equally yoked...You can't turn a whore into a housewife and you can't turn a housewife into a whore! So my advice to being equally yoked is let the whores, marry whores and Vice Versa... If a woman can't make love to my mind, it simply won't work! I'm not Gods gift to women by any stretch, but I pass on a whole lot of sistas because I know it will only amount to sex and for me personally, I been there, done that and ain't trying to relive that Bull ish again...I don't need a Coretta, don't need a Michelle, all I need is the truth in a woman...My age, My experience, can love me the way I need to be loved, Enjoys being intimate with me, we can reminesce, enjoy the same activities to some extent and I, me, can be with her ere'day, fuck the B.S, excepting each other for who they are and supporting each others dreams to the point they amalgamate and committed to a lifetime of love....That grow old type of Love :0)

Notice I said, My Age! I'm 45 in 2 weeks!
Gemini Baby...lol

Chris said...

Interesting. I don't think I can add anything of note here, but when I answer your questions, I'll probably allude to this post for one of my answers. Great read as usual.

This post was def. on point. Most people don't know what they want and will not be satisfied. The grass always seems greener on the other side. I am guilty of it when I pick my so called "mates". I desire one kind of mate and complain that I can't find them, so I settle for less and end up in another emotional circle. However, I truly do know what I want and am refusing to settle for less! Thanks so much for this post.

Danie said...

Well Said!!! Great post. All I want to know is...what ever happened to women being mysterious?

Ticia said...

Speak on it!!!

I don't get it either - I am confused too -

You want the big booty breasts, size 2!! But you always want me to be intelligent, smart, creativity - good caretaker of the home...etc.....

Um.. right! Make up your mind -

Gotta Let it Out said...

Get em girl!!! You put it down with this post right here. Loving your insight on this subject!

AMEN!!!!!!!!

Brother 12kyle says: "btw...who says that Michelle can't do what Karrine does??? And maybe she can do it betta!!!!!" I bet she can cuz I hate to say it: those who need to put others down while bragging on their skills aren't usually ALL that (male or female)! Karrine claims certain brothers didn't have it going on - well, I say everybody ain't meant to be togethah -- and MOST of us ain't meant to be with everyBODY!

And I don't mean to brag (takin' a page from Brother Rich's school of swagga;-) - but I'm ALL that, myself;-) -- Sometimes it just takes us Geniuses a bit longer to discover our GREATNESS. But, now that I HAVE - LOOK OUT Lucky Brother!! ;-)

KIKI said...

Sis...dayum if you dont be all up in my head! I swear I'm in the middle of writing one now about how men are so damned fickled.

It's funny to me how most men say that they want the "total package", but what I've found is that while they may want a woman who possess these qualities, it turns into a problem when she actually puts them to use.

I'm not even going any further...I'll rant on my own blog!

Have a good weekend Miz!

Lovebabz said...

You know MizR,
I think you were right on point with this one. I don't think men or women know what they want. I think for the most part that the fanstasy is still the prevailing character men want. I am not convinced men want the day-to-day Sister, the one that holds it down and keeps it moving. She isn't always attractive, or in pumps or a thong roasting a fucking turkey or some something like that. She is not 22 with boobs to the ceiling and legs for days. She is hard-working and responsible and kind. But that is not exciting nor desirable...but I digress.

There is so much nonsense out there that it is becoming the norm to be f***-up.

(sigh)

Mizrepresent said...

Whew, y'all been busy up in here, and i so appreciate the comments, thank you. Thank you to Blogzilla for linking me as well!

Nicole - that's it...it's what i hear on the daily and yet i see the same men chasing the same type, getting the same treatment...smh!

Tony Oh - lol, well pre-Happy Birthday, where the party at? Oh i know Bloggers Delight! You seem like you know exactly what you want, you don't seem to be the type who chases the skirts, just for chasing the skirts, so i feel ya on wanting and needing someone who will be down for you and of course mentally stimulating. That's wisdom there.

@12kyle and Tony - oh i never said that Michelle won't send you to the moon, but that's not the point, the point is most men won't choose a Michelle over a Melyssa.

SheW0rd - never settle, your happiness is most important and sometimes we only get one chance on this earth to get it right, so tally your list, and wait on your mate, that's what i'am gonna do.

Danie - don't you know it...that used to be the thing...men wanted to know you, discover you...so many are leaving themselves bare, emotionally, physically and mentally they don't have to do the hard work anymore, sigh.

Ticia - they can holler from the rooftops that they want different, but you and i know that ain't the truth!

Gotta Let it out - thanks lady, it is what it is, i first noticed this trend in blogland, and then talking with male co-workers...alot of them are talking loud and acting on nothing.

lyre - lolk@"I am Caroled!"

Capcity - go head girl do your thang, you got plenty of swagger. We do really know who we are, we are all these women in a sense, but men don't take the time to find out, therefore losing out on the gem...but not everyone is entitled to treasure...so we wait.

lovebabz - whew lady, did you bring it...YES! Yes you did, this is foolishness, and some good women fall by the wayside, but for this country, our race, humans to truly survive and become...you are gonna need that woman which you speak of. That woman that is you and I.

Eb the Celeb said...

I love this... love this... and wish more men had come over here to comment... these comments are good too...lol

jjbrock said...

Great post! We can apply this to our Christian life we don't want to make a commitment to anything weather it be God or the world we want both.

So in our private life it's hard to chose because, we want it all but don't realize we can't have it all. We have to choose same rules apply you got to give up something.

Cool Cee Brown said...

I just like to have good sex. Corretta, Karrine, whatever. So, on a very superficial level, I know exactly what I want.

Is there something wrong with that?

ZACK said...

I co-sign on Cool Cee. But replace the word like with want. But just like I posted (sorry my love, I gotta plug my blog) I feel that men have the same expectations by women.

We need to be smart like Barack, spiritual like MLK, be kinky in bed like Ray J was with Kim Kar-"smash"-ian, and on top of that be so attractive that other women will want us more than you.

But I don't fit the mold at all, so I'm marrying outside my race. Yup, I'm gonna get a Chinese chick to love me long time.

Mizrepresent said...

jjbrock- so true lady.

coolcee -ummhummm, see i know better than that...ain't nothing wrong with that...but even with the superficial you got to have a choice. Welcome.

Zack -no you didn't...you and Wesley Snipes...i swear...give the sisters a chance man! SMH! And i disagree that women are just as or more choosey...in fact we will take less and make you into more :)

12kyle said...

@ Miz
Lmao @ u!!!
Thinking about the convo that we had just last night about this subject

"Aint no Michelle's up in here! They aren't lookin for her!!!

Classic!

Dude said Ray J and Kim. Wowwwwwwwwwwwww!

sista gp said...

A problem with some 'Michelles' is that they have been dogged many times so that they have retreated making it harder for someone who will treat them right to find them.

clnmike said...

Is there some reason I cant have both?

Mizrepresent said...

12kyle - lol, yeah that was funny but true...remember the dude with glitter cross on his jacket...maybe he was looking for a Michelle, lol.


Sista GP- yep, a lot of good sisters get hurt, and retreat...but the right man can find them.

clnmike -no reason at all... yes you can! YES YOU CAN! So go for it!

12kyle said...

@ Miz
You're right! He was looking for Michelle AND Karrine! Haaaa

Veronica Wright said...

How ON POINT is this!?!?!?!
