It seems the art of seduction is lost. Mental and intellectual stimulation has been replaced with unambiguous crassness, and aimless chatter. Money, cars, clothing, jewelry, and additional superficial, materialistic and fleeting articles, are today's status symbols. How pathetic. I am well capable of providing for myself, so any potential suitor must have more to offer than good looks, and a nice car. Much more. Before you approach, please perform the following self-assessment: Can you discuss and appreciate the contributions of Crispus Attucks, George Washington Carver, Charles R. Drew, Sarah E. Goode and Jean Baptiste Point du Sable? How about Aaron Douglas, James Baldwin, and William Henry Johnson? I adore art and literature - can we converse and debate Shakespeare, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo? Can you value the works of Mozart and Beethoven, as well Prince, Marvin, Ella, Stevie, Billie and Tupac? I am not interested in hearing about the latest Jordans or the latest ratchet reality television show. I crave intellectually stimulating conversation, honesty and chivalry. Do not attempt to 'spit game' and tell me what you think I want to hear. Just be open, candid and authentic. I promise, if you make love to my mind, my body will follow (eventually). #YouCanDoBetterThanThat #ComeCorrectOrDontComeAtAll #HumpDayWisdom
