In the Pursuit of Sanity


As I sit here downing a turkey breast sandwich on white bread with miracle whip and hotsauce and some extra yummy arizona rasberry iced tea I'm reflecting on the activities that occurred last night. I was invited to an open mic at my friend's house. Upon arrival I could tell simply by viewing the guest in attendance it was going to be a night to remember. It started out innocent enough reminiscing back on childhood fights and such, then there was a liquor/ narcotics run (that led to liquor no narcotics) then there were lapdances and some inappropriate male female interactions, but then some mind blowing stuff happened. About six of us sat down and had an intense discussion on life and relationships between men and women. Those who know me know that I hold a monthly gathering of young adults and discuss issues that affect us today. This night truly encompassed the essence of my Round Table Discussion. These men and women truly 'dropped knowledge' on everyone in attendence. Everyone had something to say, no one just sad on the sideline everyone was passionate about this topic and it really did bring joy to my heart. The people in attendence were as follows: Me (Alicia Mann), Kory, CJ, Herman, Michelle, and Kalesia. Also known as So-!LL and Team MAK. Here's the basic jist of the whole discussion.



Inquiry: What is it that men desire in a woman? How do they chose which women they would make their girlfriend opposed to just some chick? How important are looks in a relationship? What are the differences between the full grown women and little girls? What separates Grown men from 'Niggas'?



Solution: Be patient. Know how to determine whether a man or women is there to enrich your life or if they are just there to get what they want at that moment. Know what you are willing to compromise in a relationship and if it will truly be worth it in the end. Surround yourself with people who are looking to do better with their lives, when they are doing good for themselves it reflects upon you as well.



Great points of the discussion: A woman can never change a man, but she can make a man want to change.

The actions of a misguided young girl should never be mistaken with the actions of a full grown woman.

Know what you want in a relationship before you go looking for one.



I suggest that if you are interested in getting a clear perspective on how the male psyche works about relationships that you read Steve Harvey's Think like a Man Act like a Lady.



Best of luck to you in the search of love, I'll keep you posted on mine.
