I just love it when magazines like Essence put out a list of things men need to have correct before women get serious about us.

the essence article titled "18 Things You Must Know About Him Before You Give Him Your Heart!"



 Some point made in the article are as follows: ( I only read the first 8 and put my BAD version on each one.) 
I have to just state these are good things but they are only good if the woman is bringing equal standings to the  table. 


If buying a home, a car and a building a family together are your ultimate goal, you’re going to want to know what financial obstacles you’ll face together.
We all know that being  responsible while single is a sign of "a man" with good character.. but it's equally important that women have the same sense of being responsible.  Credit scores are an equal opportunity  for  both people..... you will sink or swim  with a combined score! So you both need to have your act together! 

How Hard Will He Hustle?
When he needs to make it work, can he? What was the last financial problem he solved? Did he come through? Ask about obstacles he's faced in the past and how he overcame them.
Women.... if they could they would tell every man they meet , who wants to date them, "Your SHIT needs to be 'Epic'"..... To be Epic, all you need to do is Epic stuff! Right? Just like Mike and Nike "Just do It. " Claim it. Stop waiting for permission to be "Epic!" ... Most women  think that they need to be really talented to to be Amazing or Awesome!'"  so they give themselves a pass...but they also believe that men need to be "Supermen!"  they don't get a pass, if they come up short.
How He Treats His Mom, Sisters and Female Friends
A man’s first introduction on how to treat a woman most often begins with his relationship with his mother and sisters. Find out how he treats them in order to understand how he will treat you.

The question: is it  just good for the goose and not also for the Gander ?... How does she treat her
Father, her brothers and her male friends. Should also come int o question .. with all being equal and so on.  
Is He Okay With You Making More Money?
Thirty-eight percent of women earn more money than their spouses, and the number is steadily growing. You need to know now whether or not he can and will be okay with his girlfriend or wife being the breadwinner.
We all need heroes these days. Women  need someone who has accomplished somethings to give them the courage to believe in the invisible and feel the intangible. Women, claim  they do not need male Role models and men whose shadows they may stand in, a man who provides a cool refreshing place for safety is "a nice to have".  So if she makes her own way she is contributing to the greater cause.  Men have to deal with an oppressive society.. which mean even " Supermen"  seem to have be somehow been zapped by " Kyptonite"  which translates into a BAD reputation or they have wilted into the Abyss of human failure!


His Savings Account Balance
Is he living a check-to-check lifestyle or has he learned how to put away a little money for a rainy day? The amount in the account isn’t nearly as important as whether or not he’s actually regularly putting money aside.
If a single man has a 401K  or an IRA or any other type of account to take care of himself in his old age then he is doing the smart things, and is being responsible. His savings account balance , prior to a woman stepping into his life, does not produce much in terms of interest these days .. neither from a bank or his future partner. After you two get together then you should plan to save together contributing what you both can!

6 What Is He Afraid Of?
Fears are real and we all have them. What are his? Failure? Love? Commitment? Fatherhood? Death? The key to understanding what makes a man tick is understanding what he fears (and values) most.
It is imperative that our vision be both progressive and regressive. In the forefront of our minds must always be a plan that promises bright hopes for the future. So you have to be a hero to even expose yourself to critics  and the possibility of being rejected  because of what another man has done to her mind, her expectations will reflect it. These heroes often receive blows from Satan and stabs from so-called friends, who all will tell her things about the man weaknesses. This can cause anyone to be a bit secretive about things they might not want to share with a partner from the very beginning

Are Your Spiritual Beliefs Aligned?
Two people don't have to share a religion to be a perfect match, but they do need to share a spiritual core.
No argument from me on this one.
