A Good Man Is Not So Hard to Find in DC!
By T.C.
Recently, I went on a serious mission. As a media personality, I would find the most eligible, unattached men in the Washington, DC area and toss them into the waters via radio and internet, ready for the single sisterhood to reel them in. Not just single and ready to mingle, but those unafraid of a committed relationship. Yes, I said the “C“ word. I got tired of hearing the depressing ratio of single women to men in this city. Isn‘t it something like 13 to 1? Anyway, not one to be discouraged, I began my search. Once I put the word out, ladies in my online “sista circle” contacted me to recommend dozens of their platonic guy pals, coworker, deacons and dads. Not a contest for best body, buffed abs or beaming BMWs, what I call my “Mighty Good Man of the Month” is just that --nice, progressive black men with as much spirituality as sensuality. Well, I found so many good men, that every month, I’ll introduce a new man to the world wide web via SistaCircle.com. The Mighty Good Man of the Month is another vehicle for single ladies to find single men in their 30,s 40, 50’s and beyond, and a chance to email them discreetly of their interest. So, what makes for a Mighty Good Man? I've developed a theory, and it has nothing to do with a fantasy knight in shining armor arriving to save me from single womanhood. My theory is this: Many women don't find good men because they don’t know what good men look like. A good man may as well be “the invisible man” to them. The good men don't always hold prestigious jobs earning fat paychecks. He doesn’t always wear designer clothing and platinum jewelry. He might not have degrees from the most popular colleges, probably doesn’t live in a plush condo, and may not have six-pack abs. However, the men who lead these high-profile lives seem to get noticed by women. I've heard women proudly tell their friends that they date a doctor. Many have sprained their necks to check out the brother in the shiny Lexus. No, these brothers definitely aren't invisible to the ladies. Sure, a “Mighty Good Man” can enjoy a prosperous lifestyle--but he's just as likely to be rather ordinary, too. Plain, even. Like the old car you drove back in the day that was pretty dull on the outside, but always started up on a cold morning and got you to work on time. No eye-catching paint job, but the engine under the hood was solid and dependable. Look under the hood of a mighty good man, and you'll find attractive, functioning parts: honesty, trustworthiness, kindness, love of God and family, --critical pieces that can be found in a good man's system, performing in well-oiled silence. Take notice of a mighty good man, and know that he’s a mighty good catch!
