The Perfect Woman?
If you had to guess who some black men consider to be the perfect woman who would it be? Halle Berry? Nope. Vivica Fox? Maybe, but not really. Beyonce? Wrong again. Give up? Try Claire Huxtable, yep, that's right the TV character from The Cosby Show. Why is she the ideal woman well here are some of the reasons taken from a black man's blog:
1) Fluent in Two-languages
2) Career-Driven
3) Family-Driven
4) Able to ummm "handle business" (I'm assuming this means she's good in bed)
5) Dominant yet Submissive
So ladies, if you want your black man to consider you the ideal woman, make sure you have these qualities.
Lest I forget, if this is what they're looking for from us, maybe we should be expecting the same thing from them. Sounds fair, right?
Note: This post was inspired by various conversations with the black men in my circle of associates/friends about The Cosby Show. It may not be true for all black men, but I'm sure if they heard the argument of the guys I know, they'd agree.

sounds fair to me :-)
sounds like a no brainer to me...Claire it is...
Well, in defense of Claire-type women, it is possible to do both. The wife of your friend probably didn't realize that she only had one focus, which is her career. It sounds like a conversation they forgot to have before they got married. Some women, these days don't feel the need to be mothers or wives, which is cool. I myself do hope to be a "Claire," I'm just not sure about the two languages requirement.
Yep, linking this!
I always loved Claire Huxtable's example for young black women. I have to admit, I used to think much like bomboverbaghdad's friend's wife, but I have been won over by some pretty amazing kids. Children are amazing motivation when you think about it...
I just have a question "bombs," if it came down to it, would you have been okay staying home with your son, or if not that extreme, are you playing a nurturing role in the son's life? Not just a provider, a nurturer. I'm just wondering.
