A (wo)man to be with

Almost any woman will do
As long as she is
Nice, intelligent
And reasonably attractive

And that makes me wonder
Why my criteria for women
Is so much wider
Than for a man

I only look for everything in a man
Becuse i expect the man to be permanent
To take care of duties
To be the ideal husband

Marriage is a construct
But attraction isn't

If i did not have to think of
'The man i will marry'
I think i could be intimate with
Almost any man

  1. I liked the poem the way you have written.
    With due respect to your feelings and honest expression of the creative self, I want to ask a question.

    Please do ignore if you find it inappropriate, indecent or meaningless and breach of poetic rights.

    Words say it loud that you are a woman (good that you are a woman). What I understood is you are attracted to both men and women, and your (un-)conscious has set some different criteria for them.

    Won't these criteria and admission that you are attracted to women also discourage your potential male suitors?
    Men in general are possessive, sexist bastards.

  2. Anyone who is discouraged doesn't deserve her, I'd say to anonymous.
