I am not the type of woman who is validated by a title when it comes to matters of love.

Call me a ‘hard-core lover’ or ‘self –willed’ person.  One thing is for sure, 80 per cent of our men have no idea when they have a good woman and I mean, good enough to be the mother of his kids.

We are living in days where true love has lost meaning. Days when love is pegged on money, which car a man drives (sorry if you own a vitz), his neighbourhood and everything that glitters.  

Perhaps this explains why we have so many 34-year-old men still holding the ‘single and not in a hurry’ title. I know most men claim breaking a woman’s code is mystifying. From a woman’s perspective, these are some of the signs she is for keeps.

If she stays with you when you are on the “come up”

Recently, a male pal of mine shared his love story, which was nowhere near Romeo and Juliet’s script. Apparently, he met this mamasita in campo and all was well until they finished school. The lady couldn’t stand living with a man without a job, she left him and got married to a banker. Sounds familiar, right? Men, if you find a woman who is down to ride with you during your struggle until you break the ceiling, then she is for keeps!

She stays with you when you are broke.

Rapper Jay-Z once asked, “When the money goes, will the honey stay?” Well, if you have been with a woman for years then you lose your job, if she sticks with you, then she is a good woman. Waste no time. Introduce her to your parents.

 

She has no qualms with your love affair with sports

Most women hate sports. The mere thought of letting you watch a game while her favourite soap opera is on, is irksome. So if you find one who can stand the game, then she is a keeper! Better still, she supports your team.

She gives you “some” every morning.

90 per cent of men wake up ‘happy’ and relish at the mere thought of morning sex. It’s a magical thing that scientists can’t explain. Well, if she is willing and has no problem rolling it down despite her bad morning breath, then keep…keep…keep her!

She picks up the tab and showers gifts

Men love a bit of ‘getting special treatment’. If a woman buys you dinner, a drink, trust me, she is a rare gem, keep her.

She does not nag

Most women have been branded’ queen of nagging’. We complain almost about everything under the sun. Blame it on the hormones, I bet. So, dudes, if you find a woman who is calm, collected and has a ‘sober mind’, keep her. 

She motivates you

A woman, who encourages you, inspires and pushes you to reach the limit, is exceptional. Keep her under your wings.

Big Q, are you for keeps or a ‘stay away from ‘type of a woman?
