Superwoman needs a Superman


I make no bones about it, I don't even pretend to be anything other than what I am.
I'm a big girl.
I've posted my pics a couple of times and it's not hard to see.
I own my weight and as I've said before, I looooooooove my shape.

Do you see those hips?


But when it comes to men, I happen to be attracted to tall, husky, robust men. I'm an equal opportunity dater and personality trumps looks anyday but my eyes glaze over significantly and my heart thumps fervently over a well built man.
I suppose I simply want to feel like the man in my life can protect me. And that really has nothing to do with size or shape but it has everything to do with his frame of mind.

Let's just say that my door bells rings in the middle of the night. My man is over at my place. He looks at me as if to say, "Who's at your door?". I look back as if to say, "T'hell if I know, it's 2:00 in the d*mn morning!". Why should I be the one to go to the door to see who's there while my man, who is well and able-bodied, sleeps comfortably in my bed? Now suppose it's some crazy dude at my door? Some maniac coming to attack? Who better to handle some mess in the middle of the night than a big ole strong and burly man?!?!

No bruh, I a need Melvin from "Baby Boy" or a Mann from "Rosewood"! Figuratively and/or literally. I need a take charge kind of a man who can allow this superwoman to take off her cape and just be a lady, a damsel in distress.

I don't need Neyo writing no songs for me. Alicia Keys, though I like her music, I don't care to hear another song about another independent superwoman. I think those songs affect men in all of the wrong ways because when I need some security and protection, that a true man should supply, in no way do I want to positive self-talk myself into handling some crazy behind situation that is beyond my grip.

This Superwoman needs a Superman - I should have added that to my love list.
In every sense, I will be the Lois to his Clark.

Now I know nobody wants to get hurt and I'm not saying that my man should engage in brawls or have weapons stashed on his person. I'm not saying that a man should never show emotion or cry or express himself. I'm definitely not talking a man being overly tough or thuggish, brutish.

But I am saying... Leave out machismo. A man should be responsible and speak up for his lady, defend his lady - not if he has to but because he has to.

Thank you Craigjc.
I checked out your post. Nicely done. I must add your blog to my daily reads.

Yes the you do look good, and it is a reasonable thing your asking for too.

Just Kel said...

Mike... Thank you for the compliment!
I am glad you agree that it's reasonable since I didn't want to come off as male bashing. I love men folk and I especially adore strong men folk..

Nice blog... I'll certainly be back.

Like Mary said I am tired of being independent I want to start depending on you.

Whether that is emotionally, financally, or as a protector.

(I am too tired to pick up a dictionary so I hope I spelled those right.)


And you look lovely.

I definitely feel you. When I go out with my man I want to know that he will protect me no matter what. I look at my husband and smile sometimes because I know he's always going to protect me. A woman wants to be feel like a girl sometimes.

Love your blog!

^5 Just because I am strong doesn't mean that I am not also weak. Nor does it mean that I want to be strong and do it all on my own all the time.


I want a man that will let me know it's okay for me to just be a lady because he got that "man" thing on lock.
