Wife Material

Kind of humorous, and if I offend you maybe you should re-evaluate why you feel offended by this

Wife Material

 

For all the women who ask

Don’t get mad when told and put to the task

Why aren’t you wife material?

Well here are a few reasons why

A man wants a lady in the streets

But a freak in the sheets

So while you’re out twerking

And foot working

Though it may be “sexy” and all

Where’s the mystery and worth haul

On YouTube you ratchet a*s hoes

Letting it all hang out with your crusty a*s toes

Want to give it up to any man throwing money

But where’s your morals honey

We’re not video vixens or strippers

Thinking that sex is the way to a man’s heart

No, you’re selling yourself short

Self respect

And then you can expect

The worth of a real man

Is something you can’t handle

For he wants a woman

Not an imitation of the worst part

So there’s your answer
Don’t get mad because you’re not wife material

Just go back, sit down, and finish your cereal

Stop making real women look bad

Because you’re mad

Truthful poem. I find it extremely hard to find a woman i would seriously consider dating now a days. The hoe has become widely accepted as to what a woman is now, and I can't go lol. good job

Thanks. Yea i completely agree. Women think it's cute to be a hoe now our something. I saw some one expose a hoe from tagged on Facebook and someone else commented saying some people go for less than what you offered. I'd be going too for $125. It saddens me and this is why we r not respected like we should be.

Honesty I believe there is truth in this for all to see.A man wants a wife that he can trust wont sell her soul and sexuality to the highest bidder. The most endearing thing I find in a woman is loving devotion to her husband or boyfriend. i can't say I ever wanted a woman who spoke badly of her mate. An interesting foray into the mind of a woman.

Thank you. A lot of women don't realize the value we should have of ourselves. :)

[Tate Morgan]

you are welcome

I chuckled when I reached the end... and a lil in the middle too - truth be told... and maybe - maybe just a bit through the last half. But in seriousness, you spoke well. I sensed few stumbles as I read it aloud and the content kept its 'flavor'.

[Dominique Lambright]

Thanks. Yea it was meant to be humorous because a lot of women think it is funny and nothing wrong with acting this way but truth is it's funny that they think this going to get them married in the long run and I have a lot of guy friends who tell me "yeah she good to f**k but uh I wouldn't wife her" so I'm just letting it be known lol in poetic form haha.

life isn't about the "laying" - it's all about the sharing, the caring, and in the being there ...it takes two.

[Dominique Lambright]

Yea I agree

[Malcolmveli]

This is dope. I picked up a lot of imagery. It was really straight forward
Which is something that I Love. I Also enjoyed the bluntness and the rawness if it all.

[Dominique Lambright]

Thanks. Somebody had to say it haha and me and my guy friend are always talking about how women get degraded but half the time it's their fault. So yea I thought it'd be humorous but true all in the same.

Dominique! Preach it, girl! I love, love this on so many levels. I see young woman at my son's college behaving in ways that could be called less than ladylike. This disturbs me. What is even more disturbing is seeing woman my age do these kinds of things out in public. Blaming it on alcohol is not cute when you are 40 something.. I have been married for 20 years (in Oct) I am a perfect lady out in the streets. As for the sheets...well, you read my poem, 'Stiletto.' 'Nough said. Angi~

[Dominique Lambright]

Thank you lol...yeah I wanted it to be humorous yet bring you to reality and let women know that its not cute. And definitely glad you loved it :).

i gotta tell you....women are objectified too often in today's world and some men show no respect. but a woman must have self respect and be a dignified lady in public to attract a decent man. when you are in private, well, that depends on your comfort zone and your relationship but ,,,no offense intended, i am old school (very) but the perfect woman in my day was .....a gourmet chef in the kitchen, a perfect hostess in the living room and a total wildcat in the bedroom. there is no such thing as a perfect man...we are too terribly flawed to achieve such heights...but some of us really do deserve praise for our efforts. i love, love, love...this write!

[Dominique Lambright]

I agree with you completely. That is why i wrote this. Like we were talking about the reality TV, this is where it happens the most and our young ladies believe this is ok behavior to go around about in public like they do on TV. But what the younger ladies fail to realize is that it is an act and they are getting paid to over exaggerate these behaviors as well. And I think it is important for us ladies to realize we have more power than is shown. Men can't get in our pants if we don't let them, minus the rapes nd whatnot. We can have respect and still get a man because if he can't deal with respecting you then he isn't the one for you. And thank you :)

[quinfinn]

there is no weapon more powerful than a woman who knows when to be a lady and when to be a woman!

[Dominique Lambright]

Yea and knowing allows the respect level to become higher. I am hoping it doesn't get worse.
