Some women say a good man is hard to come by.

Is that a true statement? Not neccerily.

I think I can tell you why,

You find men without sincerity.

Listen, ok ladies, open your ears wide.

What I'm about to say might come as a surprise.

You have to understand every man has a different purpose.

You have low self-esteem but you date a man who makes you feel worthless.

It's a tragedy,

To see women suffer the catastrophe,

Of loving a man who is actually,

In love with himself.

But It's funny how another,

More worthy of a brother,

Who treats you like no other,

Is left on the shelf.

You hurt, but you choose the wrong man.

It's like at first sight you give him a brand,

Scorching like the sun on the sand,

Labeling him a dud.

Then you settle for a guy,

That caught your eye,

And your left wondering why,

There was no love.

Now there's nothing wrong with causal sex,

If you so choose that the man has the best,

Abs, penis, shoulders, or chest,

If you want to get laid.

But when the sex is too good,

And he's misunderstood,

And you've done all you could,

But he refuses to stay.

I say, why should he?

You both understood what it was supposed to be.

But you closed your eyes so you couldn't see,

That commitment wasn't the deal.

I'm sorry to interrupt this rhyme,

But I think it's time,

On the next line,

To keep it real.

All men have a penis,

And when I say this,

I mean this,

For some men, it's all they're good for.

But good men have a mind,

And realize that it's time,

To get in line,

And find a bit more.

You know in the beginning if your man's no good.

He won't take you out but you can sit on his wood.

And he has no conversation and even if he could,

He would only talk about himself.

But the man that's clean,

Will treat you like a queen,

and it'll feel like a dream,

Because he knows love is the only true wealth.

Now, I'm not saying that men are perfect,

keep trying, it's worth it.

What do you have to loose?

But when you pick,

Make sure that he's fit,

And not just dick,

Understand what kind of man you choose.
