Cuzzo: What do you want?
Savvy: I want...a...husband.

You cant imagine how shocked I was to hear myself say that. For the past 3 years my motto has been "I aint ready for that shit" when in reference to the topic of marriage. Guess my ass was in some serious denial. Honestly when I actually think about it, I've always wanted to be married, even when I was claiming that I was ready for it. I feel that whom ever I wife (saying husband sounds crazy) I would have dated for at least 2 to 3 years and prior to dating would have been friends with for 1 to 2 years. Well thats a long ass time period to be courting someone, and my 26 is fastly approaching. A sista is ready to find her king. Last night just made me realise it. My cuzzo, hopefully trying to interject some humor, said I should marry her cousin (no relation to yours truly thanks) and before I could even think on it, my mouth was spewing out my "husband" requirements: Above 6'1, with locs, dark, working on or has a phd, good relationship with his mom dukes. I didnt even realise I had a working "what I want in my old man list". I've been thinking hard on this since last night. That shit I spit last night was pretty accurate but I figured I betta elaborate on what I want before the lawd sends me a 6'6 darked skined loc'd up brotha with one leg and bad breath, jacked up credit, and still living with his moms. To just to ensure that shit dont happens here is my definitive "what I want in a the man i'm going to wife" list in no particular order. And seeing how this can get wordy I will break this up into several different posts.

Requirement no. 1: Physical Apperance
Some folk say that it aint all about how someone looks, that other attributes are important, and I agree. But in all honestly how someone looks is what attracts you in the first place. First off I want a brotha. Sorry all the good looking white, latino, asian men, etc. you get the picture. I dont discriminate, but a black man is where it's at for me. And since this is the "what I want in a the man i'm going to wife" list, I'm going to discribe the type of guy that will make my pannies drop, not that i'm not attracted to a myriad of dudes, its just that this dude could get it with the quickness. Now past that disclaimer, I have always said, and it is still true, that I want to marry a man so black that I have a tar baby. Black skinned brothas ya'll just do something to a sistah. I've written several pieces of poetry on the subject. And I am weak for tall man, especially basketall players. All the loves of my life were hoopers.


Requirement no. 2: Beliefs
About this time last year I feel hard for a guy who met all my physical requirements, but beliefs wise, compared to mine, were like oil and muthafucking water. After that experience I knew that from jump only a certian type of man is for me. So for starters he needs to have an open mind. I cannot and will not stand for no n-word being homophobic. He aint got to be the
"I'll shower, walk around naked, and dress in front of a cat cause I'm secure with mine" type of guy. Naw bruh, there aint no need to do all of that. Just dont be commenting every time you see two dudes embrace, for instance, saying "I aint with that gay shit". Also ol' boy needs to be in touch socially and politically wise. Black and republiccn are not complinmentary in my book. End of discussion. He needs to be just as well versed in the policital issues du jour as in issues such as why nick cannon is lame and why cats like mos def and little brother dont get air time. And the most important aspect, bruh man also needs to be up on his culture seeing as how his old lady is exteremly happy to be nappy and has Africa tatted on her back.
