Woman, 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 & asking, “Do you really want to know?”

Reluctantly, he said, “Yes.”

She began to expound:

“As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you 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 & stated, “I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for excellence in every aspect of life.”

He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, & asked her to explain. She said:

“I need someone who is striving for excellence mentally because I need conversation & mental stimulation. I don’t need a simple-minded man.

I need someone who is striving for excellence 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 excellence financially because I don’t need a financial burden.

I need someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.

I need someone who has integrity in dealing with relationships. Lies and game playing are not my idea of a strong man.

I need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader, priest and provider to the lives entrusted to him by God.

I need someone whom 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.

And by the way, I am not looking for him… He will find me. He will recognize himself in me. He may not be able to explain the connection, but he will always be drawn to me. 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 are asking a lot.”

She replied, “I’m worth a lot.

Yes, I know my worth and I am aware of what kind of man I deserve to be with. Woman deserves to be treated well, respected, loved, and cared. It is something a man can offer rather than showing off how much money he earns. Those were priceless.

Me, I don't think I'll get to marry a man. I mean, I cannot imagine myself growing old with someone and spending my life with them. I just can't. But I do fall in love. I do commit myself into relationships, just not to the point that I cannot live without them or they can ruin me. I have built a wall that protects my heart and my self.

so if you commit yourself in a relationship yet you don't want to get married, may I asked how you handle things like how you break up with the man you commit yourself with?

I am too transparent to him. I always tell him how I can't imagine myself marrying him or spending the rest of my life with him. Maybe I'm lucky because he understands it. He is just telling me it's fine, and he believe that the day will come and I will see my future with him. It's his way of telling me, "No, it doesn't matter how you imagine yourself. With or without me. I'll stay. I love you."

So, the answer to your question is I don't know. Maybe we'll talk about it soon. But right now, I can't think of anything that will make me break up with him.

This article made me think of the man of life, my father. He is the best man in the world for me, he is kind of person that you can rely when you have problems, a father that helps you and give a hand if you needed. We really don't need to find a man that's suits for us because he will come for us in the right time. It is also okay if we set standards of ourselves but make sure that your heart is open if someone is trying to open the door of your heart.

yup you're right,but if a man says you're asking a lot then better be off from him. the right man will come but you have to be keen on choosing and letting him in your heart for others just come and go as they please and leaving a scar behind

.. you have one wonderful father out there, you must be wishing you could have a future partner like him.

This article of yours was very nice. It opens every women's mind to choose the right man that fully deserved to spend a lifetime with. This serves as a reminder to all women not be rush in choosing their lifetime partner.

Although it is well known that women were very submissive in the past, today at first glance it is considered that things have changed, they fought for the opportunity to go to school, participate in politics, and do jobs that until then were only men (leading company, art…). In the private sphere, the relationship between a man and a woman has not changed radically to this day. Whereas in the past they had only the role of mother and housewife, without the ability to decide on important matters, for which only men were consistent, today a woman accepts the role of a family member who also provides a material existence, but often does not facilitate the role of mother. and housewives. She is expected to be a good wife to her husband, a caring mother to her children, an exemplary daughter to her father and a satisfying worker. All this wouldn't be a problem, than the natural state if we exclude the fact that a woman does most of the housework and spends more time with the children. She gets up earlier to prepare the children for school, and only then does she get herself ready for work. After all the worries when she returns home, she has to prepare lunch for the whole family every day and prepare the house where the whole family also lives. And after all that, she is the one who takes care of the children again and so on every day. It must be mentioned here that this is an average family, a real situation in Serbia, with the fact that the situation in rural Serbia is even worse for women. In such conditions, a woman must obey traditional patriarchal customs which in some cases endanger even basic human rights. In addition to the fear of authority in the family, there is also the fear of condemning society, and understanding does not come from where it is needed. To solve the problem of women's status in society and the family, it is crucial to raise the awareness of the entire social community, which can be achieved through the media, which can be said to play an important role in creating the attitudes of today's society. Then, this phenomenon must be approached as a problem and not as something that is taken for granted and rooted through the layers of our tradition. Also, the same issue must not be approached as something that is far away or does not touch us, because closing our eyes to the problem only contributes to its further spreading. It is not enough that the issue of women is dealt with only by individual organizations, but by the entire society, considering that it is not only a question of women but also of men. Raising this issue should not lead the male population to feel threatened and potentially discriminated against,

I think it was what the article is all about. An independent woman with weaknesses and shortcomings also that's why she needs a man not only to provide material things but one who can keep her sanity because nowadays, woman is also acting as father but her partner is not providing or supporting her just as what the woman wants in the article.. and as she is acting the patriarchal role, I think no mother can just ignore her role to her children and wife. I think their are only a few

Yes we are worthy. Woman deserves a better man but also man deserves a better woman :) When I was a teenager I have a lots of standard when it comes to guy and then I realized if I am deserving to the man of my dreams 😄

My father told me when you find a guy used you 50% of your brain as well as 50% of you heart but inner me want to say I want to marry a guy like my Dad.

Hes not perfect, hes not rich, a bit handsome? o yes hehe. But one thing why I want my husband to be, be like my father is that I witnessed how he loved us, how he loved Mama, how he understand Mama, how he act as a father to us.

I have a husband now but he's not like my father 😄 He's a godly man. He respect me, he loves me and my son but the attitude of my husband is not the same as my father. Hes not showy, he's not sweet. He is sarcastic sometimes, he talks frankly. One thing that they are similar is that they both love their families.
