Even an independent woman needs a man
In a society where a man had more to offer for bride price was convenient for lazy men who can’t chase hard for a woman. Their riches and status played the part. Not any more, times have changed; many women are no longer in the back seat, they are on the wheels with most of them in bigger offices and take home fat pay cheques.
Do you desire a woman who earns more than you do? Take heart my brother, “No man is an island” the adage goes. Even the strong grow weary and need help sometimes. My cousin has been eyeing this well established woman who happens to be his superior. He is old enough to take her on the marriage ride but she earns more than him and sometimes he is threatened by how independent and respectful she is.
Over the festive season, he invited me for their end of year party as his plus one. But as he introduced me to his superior and crush, he sheepishly blushed and this made me laugh. My brother was trained to approach girls but he was never mentored into trapping an independent and strong woman. As a good sister, I intervened.
I set my brother a platform, not with convincing words of he is rich and independent but I made him sound like the hero; the likes of Bruce Lee or the dragon slayer who could save an innocent girl from the dragons. The lady fell head over heels for my heroic brother and before the evening ended my brother had won her heart especially when he offered to drop her home other than her drunk driver. “You are too tired to drive and I can’t let a drunken man drive you home” He spoke as he got the keys from her driver.
“I can drive myself,” she protested.
“I know, but I am doing it,” he said. She looked at him acting all strong and she got into the car
So yes, even if a woman is powerful and very rich, she will fall for the waves of love and care. Love doesn’t only come to the weak hearted; it sweeps even the strong and powerful.
To my brothers out there who fear to approach her simply because she drives a Jeep Cherokee, and takes home a cheque that can feed you and your family for months; take that manly move and approach her, you never know you might be the missing jigsaw in her puzzle.
If you are to net an independent woman, you must act independent and strong. Trust me she will not give you a second look if you are a beggar and a show-off. Forget the young men who want to borrow a car to impress a woman; much as she will care as to how you stand financially, all she is looking for is not your money. Go for the small things that are missing in her life.
Play a plumber or mechanic if you have to. Do not dare talk about her money if you don’t want to sound like you are a male gold digger. Be there when she needs you, and even when she doesn’t, show her the need to have you around. Because no matter how tough and strong she is, every woman needs a man to protect and love her.
