A Man's World

Ok so everyday i have atleast one  in-depth conversation with my homegirl. It's usually via text message which as you can tell by the way i talk ends up being like 5 text pages at a time. Well on of yesterday's questions was "How old is too old for a man to still live with his mom?" Now since yesterday i've deleted my response but i wanted to share this question as well as my response.

So....let's got!!

"How old is too old for a man to still live with his mom?" To me there is no real answer for this question. I have dealt with all kinds of men from all walks of life and at some point they have given me their "story." From what i gather, on my research of men, men instinctively have the need to provide and protect. Which is why they are so territorial, jealous and sometimes pig-headed. (No fellas I am not bashing you...atleast not right this second). But it makes sense. As women we are very protective of our own which is why some mothers are so territorial, jealous and sometimes pig-headed as well. But here's the kicker...what does it take to make a man feel like a man? Besides the obvious of course.

I met a man who was 32 years old and lived with his mama. He had a fairly decent job, stayed out of trouble and was a genuinely nice guy. BUT his mama waited on him hand and foot! I had to get up out of there because he was NOT about to have me taking care of him all the damn time...So not acceptable!

Then I knew another guy age 27 who lived on the wrong side of the law but his place of residence was his moms house. He never "worked" from there but he had no other place that he called home. So does that count? Yes! he needs to have his OWN SPACE!!

It takes a man to stand his ground and hold is own. But it takes a woman to do everything else behind the scenes to give that man the mental boost he needs to continue holding is own. Think about the most powerful men  in our world, there is a woman somewhere close by to work her magic so he can show off his. From cooking, cleaning and ironing to sex, massages and a simple kiss to replace words of encouragement to remind that man that it is his world!!

So ladies lets be real...people go through hard times but a real man will make the most out of his situation and work hard to put himself in a better place. There is nothing sadder (just an expression of course there is something sadder than this) than a grown ass mama's boy who is so comfortable under mommy that he doesnt realize that taking care of me will help me take care of him in more ways then his mama is willing to acknowledge.

So kids what the lesson for today? GROW THE FUCK UP!! THEN MAYBE I CAN RESPECT YOU.
