I grew up dark-skinned and skinny, plus I also wore glasses
So obviously I never gained the attention of those cuties with high-end fashions
Was ashy with an occasional chapped lip and nappy hair too
So when I approached the popular chicks I'd hear "let's not even go there, boo."
Eventually I guess it scarred me and so I made a vow
To some day call all the shots; the who's, what's, when's, where's, and how's
And later I'd realize that I've become the very same sort of monster
That fueled the youthful inferiority complex that I set out to conquer.
So today I humble myself and speak these long overdue words
To try to purge my inner conscience of thoughts never before heard
To the lovely dark brown sista with the flawless smile
We had an amazing time together; we hung tight for a short while
But at the end of the day all the things that made you "beautiful you"
Like your mahogany skin tone and your stylish short hair due
... simply proved too much of an obstacle for me to overcome
so I did what countless brothers have done and passed you over; I know... dumb.
To the short Ethiopian diva with the ridiculous "poke out"
How dare I allow your height to ultimately be the reason we didn't work out
And to the statuesque honey with the amazing grain of hair
Far be it for me to object to your unstylish collection of gear; so now in turn we're nowhere.
How can I overlook the all natural sista whose beauty comes with no preservatives
Lovely as ever yet your larger shoe size served as a deterrent for the kid
It's cool, I know ... go on and say it
I admit it, I was on some bullISH
Passed on some good girls cause I figured around the corner there'd be much more in store
Sometimes I think my love life should have come equipped with a revolving door. But no more!!
Too thick, too thin, too short, too tall
Reason enough to disqualify a potential mate? I've certainly used em all
Wrong height, bad feet, hair too short, too much weave
Have all been excuse enough for me to elect to leave.
Not career oriented, bad credit, messy crib... I know it's pathetic
Yup you guessed it, your boy jetted
Turned away my fair share of winners because I was super duper choosy
I've got BIG nerve, cause I hated when girls used to do the same thing to me.
Finally I've reached the point in my life that I can sincerely see
There are far more important aspects to a relationship than finding the perfect "arm candy"
Ladies, can you ever forgive me?
Sincerely,
C.

Very nice....and now you gotta walk the walk...since we know you can talk the talk... ;)
We know it is several people who consider themselves "too picky”, but is there anything wrong with being selective sometimes? Now you are dead wrong for being that "choosy" about shoe size, skin complexion, hair, etc. I believe no one should be making decisions strictly based on looks. But some traits are important. Like being attracted to your mate or wanting someone goal oriented or like-minded is great. I just wonder how many men do the reverse and just keep a girl around because she is a good looking piece of arm candy? Is that you?
Well, it's about time. Definitely, want to see you walk the walk playa!

Luv,
You are a funny dude, I guess we have all let some good things pass by, weather it's but it is what it is, and we like what we like. With time we tend to make better choices, so based on your message I am sure you are on the right path.
You really have a talent with writing. Keep it up.
