The Man TRIFECTA
Hello again my beauties. Let’s talk Men! (Sorry Fellas, this one is for the girls!) I'll be sure to post one for your team soon enough!
So ladies, Considering that Valentine's Day is coming up- we are expecting our boo's, bae's, and babe's to go out and get all FABULOUS with a gift and/or date. We would defend our men with every fiber of our being and tell the world how perfect he is... But... Let’s be honest here. Our men are far from perfect, but our love is "Blind!"
So, let me run this idea by you ladies: THE MAN TRIFECTA!! (Cue dramatic music and drum roll here) Ideally, the perfect man has 3 major qualities that separate him from the rest: He is Sexy, He is "Wealthy," and he is "Kind!" Here is the cincher- The conversation turns into what we want from these qualities.
Here is the "Problem" we have:
1) If he is sexy, then he won’t wealthy or kind.
2) If he is Wealthy, he won’t be sexy or kind.
3) If he’s Kind, he won’t be wealthy or sexy.
4) If he is sexy and wealthy, he won’t be kind.
5) If he is wealthy and kind, he won’t be sexy.
6) And if he is kind and sexy, he won’t be wealthy
And all the other endless possibilities that present themselves in accordance with this Trifecta we seek. There is only one man who meets all these criteria, and that’s Jesus Christ. (I mean, I don’t know if He is sexy, but We were made in His image and I am definitely a good looking gal- so I’m going to go with yes: Jesus is good looking!) Other than that, this man is in our fairytale dreams.
Sexual appeal should not be solely based on physical features! While I love myself a man with a sexy smile and generous muscle tone- It means nothing if he is mean or as dumb as a sack if turds. Wealth isn’t only about money. If his wealth is in his intelligence and ingenuity- the money will follow. Kindness is something that should be mandatory. Not that we, as women, should aspire to marry the first man we meet- but the way he treats you (and especially other people) should let you know what kind of heart he has. Unfortunately, some of us are motivated by our biological clocks! (Not I. I can wait!) We have to conceptualize the process of thinking for the future. Will this man make an effective and loving husband? Will he be an excellent role model for his sons? Will you want your daughters to choose their taste in men based on the presence and treatment by their fathers? All these must be considered, but we are getting ahead of ourselves here. All men aren’t perfect, so let’s cut some slack for the ones that do try consistently.
This Valentines, how about we give them a break? They shouldn’t show their love for us for one day- it should be shown every day! And we must do the same. In order to be loved, we must be something worth loving. If you love YOURSELF first, the right type of man will follow!
As always, Stay BEAUTIFUL inside, outside, sideways, and always!!
