Lunch With a Friend

On the topic of dating and settling he said,
ninety percent right - is good you know...
Oh really, and then I wondered,
why is it he's still alone?

Then I got to thinking a lot
how it is that a man really thinks...

they want a body slim that rocks 
and her passion not a thing she forgot
A lady in public but a freak in the sheets
eyes that seduce and to cook she is pleased
With a personality that soars through the roof
and a heart you will never disprove

Why is it then, tell me please...
Why men always say "love me for me"
Pay no attention to what I don't own
or my less than flattering physique 
Just tell me in a week I'm "The One"

Some are looking for quiet
others are hoping for fun
Everyone's looking for love so
truly it comes to that thing we succumb 

They say that the ladies are digging for gold
But you gentleman are forgetting your older

You want to be flattered 
She wants to be pampered
You want a lady who's candy to sight
yet all your gold Is with the ex- wife

For all the plans men will speak
it's rare to find a bird in the hand
say what they will to get the girl they seek
but a woman needs more than HOPE from a man

Is it really about some standard 
or are we just too tired and damaged ?
what ever the factors
When it comes to remarriage
I really don't mean to disparage 
the percentage of factors should be more than alleged

All in the odd spoken, lunch with a friend :-)

Good Morning Sarai, I was hoping for a new one. I will take a look and check out some of your older ones.

Interesting one, unfortunately it does apply to some men out there. I often wonder why so many wonderful women are attracted to them.

It was an intense conversation that's for sure. Always a pleasure to hear from you
