CONFUSED

Ladies,

Don't blame him because you confuse no good men with quality men and jokers with Kings and peons with men of nobility.
Don't blame him because you confuse simps with strong men and little boys with grown men.
Don't blame him because you confuse disrespect with reverence and sex with love and contempt with admiration.
Because neglect is not concern, indifference is not compassion and disregard is not respect.
You must take responsibility for your choices. You will never be able to identify the exceptional if you can't even recognize the inferior. Confusion is for commoners. Clarification is for Queens.

Keep Pressing In: By Tanya Ware

 

In Scripture, there was a lady who had been sick with a bleeding disorder for twelve years. She went to the best doctors, received the finest treatment, but her health continued to decline. One day, she got word that Jesus was coming through her town. When she heard that, something came alive on the inside. She had so much coming against her, but she didn’t focus on that; she knew it was her time for healing. Instead of giving up, she fought her way through the crowds and touched the edge of Jesus’ robe. When she did, immediately she was made whole.
 I wonder how many other people were there like her in that same type of situation. They were sick. They were discouraged. They had trouble. But they just watched Jesus pass by. They let excuses keep them from their miracle. Friend, don’t let that be you. Don’t let your circumstances keep you from reaching out to Jesus. It doesn’t matter what’s happened in your past, just keep moving forward. God has destiny moments in store for you. Keep pressing in, keep believing, keep praying and, like this woman, reach out to Him. Know that He is faithful, and He will meet your faith with His power.

Men Could Care Less: By Lotus

 

How to Be a Woman

Ladies,

Most men really don't care how many degrees you have. It does make you valuable to your employer, not as much to your man. If you don't know your role and can't play your position, he couldn't care less. If you're constantly throwing up your degrees in the face of every man you meet, is there any wonder you're single? If submission is brought up, there are women that love to counter and call it slavery. Yet, they have no problem being a "slave" to that career but can't submit to their man. If you are lacking the necessary prowess to be a good mother and wife, how valuable are you in your marriage and/or relationship? Men are interested in what kind of partner you will be. They want to know if you are a nurturing woman capable of embracing your role as the first teacher of the children and capable of properly caring for them. They are interested in knowing if you can take a house and make it into a home. And they need to understand that you can feed their soul with love and nourish their body with a meal. For some, an appraisal is long overdue, because you may not be as valuable as you think you are. The "depreciated value" just might shock you.

My $.02: It's one thing to be proud of your education, but to rub it in a man's face is lame. Some women have a Master's Degree, but they can't cook. They have a Ph.D in Bioscience, but they don't know what it takes to keep a man. Where they do that at?

Janet Jackson-What Have You Done For Me Lately?

 

Nojma Reflects

20 hours ago

 

So many of us as women sound like that classic Janet Jackson joint "What have you done for me lately?".....when the question can be asked what have we as Black Women done for the Black Man LATELY?

When was the last time we showed him support and encouragement?

When was the last time you even OPENED your MOUTH to speak to one as he passed by?

When was the last time the man in your life could see that you love him through your ACTIONS; not from what you profess with your mouth?

When was the last time you asked a Black Man his dreams, and goals, and was prepared to bring them into fruition?

When was the last time you laced your voice with caring instead of contempt?

When was the last time the man in your life ate a meal that didn't come out of a box?

Here is how reciprocity works....whatever you WANT....you must be first willing to GIVE.

And for all those women that say I promote doing "too much" for the Black Man...you will always

find your man "never doing enough" for you...because he doesn't have the MOTIVATION to do so.

 

The last sentence says it all: If a woman finds her man not doing enough for her, he lost his motivation. One can only guess why.

Don't people understand the concept of family anymore? Families putting each other on blast on national TV for fame/fortune. Makes no sense.

You can have an easy relationship if you select a likeminded person. You will have rough times, but you'll get through them faster.

Every man who speaks to a woman isn't checking for her, so ladies stop with the attitude. Besides, it's not his fault you failed at life.

Stop Being Thirsty: By Trina Rogers

Stop looking so Thirsty. Stop looking so EASY. Stop looking so trashy and find some class about what you do. Let someone WANT YOU, instead of acting like you need them all the time. Let someone meet your standard instead of you lowering yours to meet theirs all the time. Don't allow your loneliness to make you think that every smile someone gives you means that they want you. Never let your thirst... cause your perception to mislabel someone's intention. Learn how to take a compliment without creating SOMETHING in your mind that doesn't exist. Every compliment someone gives you shouldn't make you fall in love with that person. Stop making yourself so available. There's nothing special about being easy access, so stop advertising yourself as wholesale when your value should be something that can't be bought. Everybody doesn't deserve you, so stop giving your heart, your body, your mind, to any and everybody. Just because they tell you the right things doesn't make them the right one. Just because the first date went right doesn't make them wifey/husband material. Stop searching for it, and let God bring it to you. Acting DESPERATE for attention is not attractive. Not respecting yourself for attention is not attractive. Begging to be noticed is not attractive. Insecure people do that. Insecure people want attention, secure people demand respect. Insecure people brag and show off, secure people are humble. Insecure people PRETEND to be perfect, secure people embrace their flaws. There's beauty in confidence, but confidence isn't about showing off what you got, it's more about being secure in what you lack. Thirsty people are addicted to attention and will do anything to get it. DON'T LET THAT BE YOU!!!!

GAME: By Lotus of How To Be A Woman

 

    This is too good NOT to share.

 

"GAME"

Ladies,

Some women have a negative connotation attached to the word "game." If a man is so-called "running game" on you, that's perceived as negative. The phrase "game recognizes game" can go either way. And, if someone is "lacing you with game" that's a good thing. Game is, simply put, the skill or knowledge you have or acquire in reference to dealing with the opposite sex. As far as I'm concerned, men as well as women need to have "game." As a matter of fact, women that don't have "game" many times end up with men that don't have any, otherwise known as simps. Simps are not quality men and simps are not leaders. Every male is not necessarily a man and every man is not necessarily a leader. A woman that doesn't have any "game" will not be able to identify a man that is lacking "game." If the man that you are getting to know or have recently began dating does not possess the attributes of a quality man, don't continue with the relationship. Charge him to the "game." This is the exact same philosophy that a man should use if he finds out that you are not a quality woman that doesn't know her role. Ladies, there's nothing wrong with "game" when used in the right way. Having "game" keeps you ahead of the "game" and may prevent you from being "charged to the game."
