I believe it was James Brown who said;

This is a man's world,
this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing,
nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water,
like Noah made the ark

This is a man's,
a man's, a man's world

But it wouldn't be nothing,
nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything,
everything he can
You know that man makes money
to buy from other man

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing,
nothing without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the world of man
He's lost in bitterness

Friendships(and why I deleted you) require;

Comfort ability.

Hard to say, but I've had all the sweet talking, make up wearing (in excess), too tight high heel stepping woman for a life time. Does this make me shallow?

No, for I am just lazy enough, to not want anything too overtly complicated, when real joy is simple enough. Me, I’d welcome friends who can actually think calmly, speak softly, ask real questions, follow complete directions, walk over a mile, and then, not pass out when I dance with their younger sister.

A one that’s a human being 1st. who happens to be a themselves always. Someone that knows that sarcasm is not witticism! Can I say someone who is deep thinker and alluring? Someone who is passive and giving?

Someone who has faults?
And strengths too?

Me, I would be pleased with someone who realizes that no two men are alike, and that therefore some males are actually just that, not men!

Aside from that, in reading what I usually write, there should be no question(s) as to why superficial nonsense, and outright B/s in not fundamental to continued friendship.

In the between though, please, be blessed as you go....
