Just the Lovin, Please...

My girlfriend and I were talking today about the needs of the early 30's women. specifically, how much the need has changed since the 20s. In the 20s there is so much want for reassurance, companionship, commitment, love. Love. Love. The idea of it causes some of us to bury our heads in the sand, make that man into something he is not, believe our lives to be very different from whats clearly reflected in the mirror.

But not in the early 30s. No. Now, brothas can stop playin games. Cause, sistah may not want a relationship, marriage, love and kids. Maybe she, just like you, wants to partake in a mature sharing of sensual expression. Nothing more. No love. In fact, please don't fall in love. Cause many times, her family is already in tact. So its alrite if brotha can't commit, actually its preferred. The games and the lies can stop.

The interesting thing is that more than one sistah has told me this, while more than 1 brotha is telling me they are now looking for love. wanting to settle down. but the women they want forever are instead hoping for that intimate rendezvous, with no strings attached. Forever seems like another bag of bricks to drag and the woman just isn't interested. Ironic, huh?

Are they really not interested or has "the numbers" started to skew their expectations and thus, what they verbalize as their desires? Now in my forties, I found this to be true for many a decade ago, but it may be different now. I think sistahs just aren't truly comfortable in their own skin until after 40.
