Romantic respect, or What do women want?

[alphawolf]

I think this song just about says it all:

CHORUS

What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man
What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man

I wanna take a minute or two, and give much respect due
To the man that's made a difference in my world
And although most men are ho's he flows on the down low
Cuz I never heard about him with another girl
But I don't sweat it because it's just pathetic
To let it get me involved in that he said/she said crowd
I know that ain't nobody perfect, I give props to those who deserve it
And believe me y'all, he's worth it
So here's to the future cuz we got through the past
I finally found somebody that can make me laugh
(Ha ha ha) You so crazy
I think I wanna have your baby

CHORUS

My man is smooth like Barry, and his voice got bass
A body like Arnold with a Denzel face
He's smart like a doctor with a real good rep
And when he comes home he's relaxed with Pep
He always got a gift for me everytime I see him
A lot of snot-nosed ex-flames couldn't be him
He never ran a corny line once to me yet
So I give him stuff that he'll never forget
He keeps me on Cloud Nine just like the Temps
He's not a fake wannabe tryin' to be a pimp
He dresses like a dapper don, but even in jeans
He's a God-sent original, the man of my dreams

Yes, my man says he loves me, never says he loves me not
Tryin' to rush me good and touch me in the right spot
See other guys that I've had, they tried to play all that mac shit
But every time they tried I said, "That's not it"
But not this man, he's got the right potion
Baby, rub it down and make it smooth like lotion
Yeah, the ritual, highway to heaven
From seven to seven he's got me open like Seven Eleven
And yes, it's me that he's always choosin'
With him I'm never losin', and he knows that my name is not Susan
He always has heavy conversation for the mind
Which means a lot to me cuz good men are hard to find

CHORUS

My man gives real loving that's why I call him Killer
He's not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, he's a thriller
He takes his time and does everything right
Knocks me out with one shot for the rest of the night
He's a real smooth brother, never in a rush
And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch
Spends quality time with his kids when he can
Secure in his manhood cuz he's a real man
A lover and a fighter and he'll knock a knucker out
Don't take him for a sucker cuz that's not what he's about
Every time I need him, he always got my back
Never disrespectful cuz his mama taught him that

Feel free to start a gay version if so inclined...

[cereza]

[yawn] Tell me something interesting, since you feel like ranting..

[Storm]

The song is incredibly vague. It basically says "I like my man because he's what I want."

[krapyrubsnif]

The song is incredibly vague. It basically says "I like my man because he's what I want."

Thats probably his point...

[dalidaisy]

It's too bad I don't have a camera right now, because no words could express the look on my face right now. I knew better than to open this thread, but it's like a train wreck, you know?

*sigh*

There's an expression here in the south that I never use, but it somehow feels appropriate right now to express how I feel about this:

"Bless his heart..."

Alphawolf, you are like a box of chocolates (& I do like chocolate). The problem with this is that I am not fond of the ones with the mushy centers & there are just so many of them in your box...

[WyohKnott]

Interesting... Alphawolf, as you are male (or claim to be :p) I find it interesting that you spend more time claiming to know what women want, than what men want.

I agree with Storm that the song is very vague, but I will attempt to find the places in it that discuss what women supposedly want:

I finally found somebody that can make me laugh
Sure, I can agree with that...

My man is smooth like Barry, and his voice got bass
A body like Arnold with a Denzel face
Ugh. Personally, I would not find that particularly attractive.

He's smart like a doctor with a real good rep
Rep = reputation, I'm assuming. Intelligence is good; reputation, not so much.

He always got a gift for me everytime I see him
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but that would bother me to no end. Gifts are nice, but in moderation, please.

He's not a fake wannabe tryin' to be a pimp
He dresses like a dapper don, but even in jeans
Much too vague.

Yes, my man says he loves me, never says he loves me not
Well, yeah, not telling the girl that you hate her is always good :p

(A bunch of vague sexual references)
I wouldn't know, but I seriously doubt it would be important enough to me to take up 1/3 of a song ;)

Spends quality time with his kids when he can
No objections there...

A lover and a fighter and he'll knock a knucker out
Don't take him for a sucker cuz that's not what he's about
Every time I need him, he always got my back
Never disrespectful cuz his mama taught him that
All kind of vague and obvious things.


So basically, it says "He's good in bed, he gives me stuff, and he can fight." I don't know about the rest of the girls/women on here, but I want a whole lot more than that...

(P.S. I probably should have known better than to even read this thread, but once I did, I had to say something :))

[Storm]

^You forgot good looking, smart, funny, doesn't cheat, and spends time with the kids "when he can."

[JohnDoe]

It's too bad I don't have a camera right now, because no words could express the look on my face right now. I knew better than to open this thread, but it's like a train wreck, you know?

*grabs the popcorn to watch the trainwreck*

[pure potential]

Sorry AW, but I'm not even gonna go there with the song. (although I do love shakin my ass to it ;))

As far as my mighty good man's song goes..

"He's intelligent, has a handsome character and loves me strong" is a great start.

[blueback]

To be fair, it's just one (presumably) woman's description of what she wants...but it does seem like a rather complete description.

Cuz I never heard about him with another girl
He doesn't cheat. Or if he does, he doesn't brag about it.

I know that ain't nobody perfect, I give props to those who deserve it
He has flaws, but this isn't the place to mention them, and apparently they are relatively unimportant. (at least at the moment)

I finally found somebody that can make me laugh
He's funny.

He's smart like a doctor with a real good rep
He's smart and everyone knows it.

And when he comes home he's relaxed with Pep
He deals with his own problems.

He always got a gift for me everytime I see him
It's not clear if this means a material gift or an intangible gift but either way he is always excited enough about seeing her that he brings something she will value.

He never ran a corny line once to me yet
He is self-confident and creative.

He keeps me on Cloud Nine just like the Temps
Apparently he sings as well as the Temptations. Quite a feat in and of itself.

He dresses like a dapper don, but even in jeans
He's a God-sent original, the man of my dreams
He is well groomed and puts effort into his appearance.

Yes, my man says he loves me, never says he loves me not
He isn't afraid of commitment.

Yeah, the ritual, highway to heaven
From seven to seven he's got me open like Seven Eleven
He arouses her.

He always has heavy conversation for the mind
He respects her for who she is, not what she looks like.

He's not a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am, he's a thriller
He cares about her and wants to make sure she's satisfied.

He's a real smooth brother, never in a rush
And he gives me goose pimples with every single touch
He's naturally attractive and any girl would want to be with him.

Spends quality time with his kids when he can
A bit vague, but apparently he's enough of a family man to satisfy her. Granted, based on stereotypes (and statistics) he doesn't have a lot of competition in that department.

A lover and a fighter and he'll knock a knucker out
He isn't afraid to fight when he has to.

Every time I need him, he always got my back
He makes time for her whenever she needs him to.

Never disrespectful cuz his mama taught him that
He treats everyone as equals.

So, he's funny, smart, sexy, confident, attractive, respectful, committed, etc. After allowing for the poetic license he sounds like a man that any woman would want to be with.

[Nemesis]

He's not a fake wannabe tryin' to be a pimp

Take a good look at this one Alpha ;)
