Gentlemen.. I want to take a moment to discuss something that popular culture deems as perfection
In the 1970 Blake Edwards produced a movie called “10” featuring Dudley Moore and Bo Derek. At the time she was the image of perfection along with Farah Fawcett and a lot of other late 1970’s blonde bombshells. Through the 80’s and 90’s we’ve had a sea of Bonde/Blue Eyed women paraded to us as the image of perfection or the “10”..
What this has created in men is a desire to have that Ideal. A lot of songs have come out addressing the perfect “10” and it has become what most men desire. Men are visual creatures so appearance is valued more than character.
What this has created in women, and specifically African-American women is a perverted sense of self worth and self value. Many African American women attempt to make themselves the perfect 10. The media images of beauty or perceived beauty is what way too many women are chasing... fact is YOU ARE PERFECT LADIES THE WAY YOU ARE!!!
We as men can either play into that, or reject that. Bottom line is a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman irrespective of race or national origin.
A lot has been made in pop culture about Dimes… you heard the songs “shawty is a ten”… There is lies the problem… I love a dime like the next man. However, how many times have you found a dime in the street. How many times have you had a pocket full of dimes and wanted to get rid of it.
Truth is Ten Dimes is and always will be ONE DOLLAR… and we all know a dollar isn’t worth much today. So, for all the Dimes out there we love you and appreciate you … but the fact is we want more than a dime…. We want a DIAMOND!!
You see diamonds are rare. They’re formed under pressure…. It takes a little bit of effort to find them and pull them out of the earth. Those facts make a Diamond valuable and desired over any of the precious stones.
The same holds true for women of standard. These women are rare, they are created under pressure, separated from the others by God, and it takes a little effort to find them as well as win their affection
Gentlemen, when making your choice on what type of woman you pursue or desire the choices seem very clear. You could have a dime and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, if you value something more or want someone who knows her own value and worth…
Remember Gentlemen, not all women are ladies… but all ladies are women….
