When I saw this sista's video and heard her comments about what men really want from women, I thought "wow" her comments was interesting. I then began to wonder if we had sistas that thought like her around these parts. So I sent the video link to a few intelligent sistas to see what they thought about the video and the women's views. The good thing about doing an article/post like this...is you the reader get to see different comments from sista literally from your own city which I like to call BLAkron, Ohio. At this time I would like to thank sistas Teresa Clifford, Khalita Essoun and Tia Al-Qaadir. Until next time have some fun and get something done. -Hiram Akeem

While all of this is true, it is difficult for women in today’s world not to step into a masculine role at times due to our brothas voluntary and involuntary presence in the home. I believe that women can be and want to be feminine and soft and nurturing and submissive to men of God. However, while we have so much pressure on us to be everything, men most times have the luxury of not rising to the occasion and presenting themselves as providers and protectors. Of course there are many factors that play into what I am saying but this is my view point.

Her statements were hopefully heartfelt by the women who thinks that all it takes for a man to choose his mate is what they have to offer outside of themselves. Reality TV has successfully pushed and highly influenced some lingering onto the "European mindset" being the reason why there are so many broken homes today. Blessed is the woman who has self-worth, knowledge of self and can be looked upon as a catalyst of what a woman looks like without hiding behind brand names and can be a great support to her family and community.

I feel the video gives good insight into the minds of alot of men. I have that same belief, that men aren’t looking for your w2 when it comes to a relationship. For the most part they are looking for women to be real women. They Know how to truly be a queen to her king. Unfortunately I don’t believe this is something most women know how to do. It’s not about how much money you make, or how “strong” you claim to be. Learning to be soft and not so strong and hard is the key. Most women became so strong and hard due to the need to be both mother and father in the household. But when you are in a relationship you have to learn how to “dial it back” and let the man be a man. When you don’t, there can be dire consequences.
