You're Worth A Lot!

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 perfection 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
perfection 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 perfection
financially because I don't need a financial burden. I
am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to
understand what I go through as a woman, but strong
enough to keep me grounded.

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 helpmate
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're asking a lot."

She replied, "I'm worth a lot."
