I Love Men!

I love men

I love everything about men

And though at times I slate men

Act like I don’t rate them

Sometimes I even go on like I don’t want to date men

But truth is, I don’t hate men

In fact, I love men

I love ‘em, I love ‘em, I love ‘em

I love the ‘deep, intellectual’ men

I love the ‘ambitious, determined’ men

I love men who aren’t afraid to give a compliment

Or two, or maybe three…coz boy, if I’m looking good he better tell me

I want a man who’s gonna make me feel beautiful from within

I love men with confidence and a man who stands for what he believes in

I love the ‘down to earth, soulful’ men

But I don’t like the boastful men…you know, the ‘big ego’ men

Or the ‘psss psss, oi’ men…

I’m not just any girl, so chat like that won’t go down too well

Coz I’m a lady, so don’t ‘oi’ me

I’m looking for a man who will spoil me

The way my father did

When I was a kid

I love the ‘don’t put your hand in your purse’ men

I love the ‘open doors, ladies first’ men

And yes, I do love the ‘God first’ men

You can’t go wrong with a man of God…can I get an ‘amen’?

My list is endless, because I love all types of men

But unfortunately, not all men are good men

I’ve encountered many of them

I grew up in a home with physical abuse

I watched the only man I ever truly loved beat my mother black and blue

Leave her battered on the floor as I watched from the door, then he would say ‘I love you’

I used to believe that was love, no wonder why I still get confused

About what love really is; but I tell you this

Despite having an abusive father

And being raised by a bitter mother, one who was forced to be Miss Independent

I do love men

I love ‘em, I love ‘em, I love ‘em

Yes, there will be men who will make you feel worthless,

But it’s gonna take much more than a bad ex

-boyfriend

To stop me from loving men

I even pray that someday God blesses me with baby boys so I can raise men

From this day forward I will praise men

Pay respect where it’s due

Because women were made to love & respect men

We were made to walk side by side with them

I won’t be told any different

So for anyone who thinks I dislike men; that I have a problem with men

Because at times I do slate men

Act like I don’t rate them

Sometimes I even go on like I don’t want to date men

But truth is, I can’t hate men

In fact, I love men

I love ‘em, I love ‘em, I love ‘em!
