"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?"


To coin a phrase from the great Eddie Murphy's stand up act, Delirious...


"What have you done for me lately?"


As you can well imagine - after having posted a list of attributes/requirements concerning the fairer sex (see below) - I have had a few responses. Whilst some were on the right page, one stood out as just not getting it.

It has unfortunately been my experience to have dealt with such individuals before. The "I'll only do it if you guarantee I'll get something out of the deal" types. The "What's in it for me" types.


Immediately I hear that shit and I no longer want to do whatever it is that's currently on the table for discussion. In fact I feel compelled to NOT do whatever it is out of principle. I was always under the impression that when one is sufficiently enamoured with someone else, that it went without saying that you WANTED to do nice things for the other party. Not wait until they had sufficiently pleased you before you reluctantly gave in and fulfilled your end of the bargain.


Having said that, I have also been fortunate enough to experience the flip side of that tarnished coin. Hallelujah!


You.missed.the.point.


Spread the love. But don't wait for the other person to make nice. It may be too late and you may miss out...

  1. You.Are.Missing.The Point. I agree that when enamoured with someone you tend to do nice things for them (and to them), you set out to tell the world what you want in a woman. Fair enough, that's why it's called a Woman List. But what makes YOU so darn fabulous that you should have a woman like that? Hmmmm??

  2. You know me. The answer should be evident enough.
