Gentlemen, Learn To Look Past The Booty

By Sheeri Mitchell June 10, 2009 8:23 am

Proverbs 31:30 (New King James Version)

Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman
who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

Gentlemen, I know in a society where women put everything on display, even things they shouldn’t, it can be difficult to walk out your faith in the area of dating.  I have listened to enough of you tell me that keeping your thoughts pure is right next to impossible when so many women deliberately or ignorantly walk around with their chichees and butt on display for the world to see. Yes, that word is “chichees.” I spelled it phonetically so that there would be no confusion.  God created you a sexual being. You have more sexual thoughts in a month than some women have in a year.  That is just how your Creator wired you. And it is a good thing.  But the same God who made you, knows your heart as well.  And let me tell you, he would not create a desire in you if he didn’t have a plan already in place to fulfill it.

As a mother of a son, who is entering puberty, I will tell you the same thing I tell him, and the same thing I have warned my single brothers who have come to me for advice on dating and pursuing a wife. WATCH HER CHARACTER. See if who she professes to be matches who she says she is. Don’t involve yourself with a woman of poor character.  I don’t care if she is “fine as hell!” Because that’s probably where she comes from. Don’t think you can “dabble” and walk away.  You will get “got.” To the degree that you don’t is just God’s mercy in action.

I’m not saying that you have to date or marry a mud duck.  If you don’t find her attractive, you don’t find her attractive – pure and simple.  But make sure you know why you don’t.  The same is true for attraction.  If your attraction to a woman is purely physical, then the relationship is doomed from the start.  Obviously, I am not addressing those of you who are out “ho-in.’”  But Man of Substance, hear me today. Hair grays. Boobies and butts sag (you know, unless they’re fake). Skin thins.  Teeth sometimes leave and need to be replaced.  But character, the soul, with proper care and nurturing only improves and flourishes.

So look beyond her shape, to her heart.  Observe her character to see who she is – and be prayin’ the whole time.  If God wants you married, then be sure that he wants you to have a godly wife, who will support your vision and be a help-meet to you.  He wants the two of you to raise godly children, who will impact the world.  You want somebody who is going to come alongside you and work this life out with you, someone who will have your back, cover you in prayer daily, and speak life into your weary soul when the world has worn you out.  You want and need a godly woman. So, Please, please, please, as your sister Christ, I beg you, do not settle for good looks alone.

    It’s all about worshiping the Creator and not the creature. Sure, it’s ok to admire a woman for her beauty but never worship her because that’s where you’ll go wrong. It’s ok to give a woman love, 100% if you desire. But, remember she needs to worship God (the true creator of life) just like you need to.

  • 10-26-2009 7:49 am

    Well, I don’t know about this. Don’t get me wrong, when I do decide to get in a relationship it will be with a woman worthwhile. I’m talking about a woman who’s independent, goal orient, educated, and overall beautiful. However, I’m a guy who a 100% of the time prefer woman with nicely proportion booty. I don’t mean in the buffy the body category; I mean like I know where he butt begins and her back ends, if that makes sense. For me to be completely satisfy I have to be with a woman that I feel meets what I’m looking for. I prefer that over settling. I’m an Engineer and my ex is an Pharmacist and society see us as perfect match, a power couple, so to say. But I wasn’t happy and I can’t fake it. She was ideal, a sweet heart and everything but I can’t make my heart do what it won’t. Basically, if she’s lacking in any of my preferences and I hook up with her, in the end, I’ll just end up going out every other night to fill that void. So I’m going for my preference and that’s a woman with a booty. Sorry ladies, no offense if you dont’ have any because you’re still beautiful to me.

  • 10-2-2009 11:52 am

    You lady are on point!! I truly enjoy your story and point of view.Continue to empower our people and serve the Lord above.Thanks for sharing your wisdom!May God continue to bless you and everyone reading this message.

  • 10-2-2009 11:32 am

    Yes yes I agree and respect the comments and wisdom given to real men that are looking for real women and a real relationship.When u respect yourself and can be realistic about your life long goal of having a family. Looking at the persons character means so much to the future of that relationship.

  • 8-27-2009 11:39 pm

    blakscorpion25

    LOL!! Im trying!! I promise!!

    But seriously they should have an article for women LOOKING PAST ( YOU KNOW WHAT LOL).

    In addition, It seems as if this were written on a biased perspective because if this is stating MEN need to look past the BOOTY….then WOMEN need to look past the MONEY……ahhh and the plot thickens lol.

  • 8-25-2009 3:42 am

    The white mans religions and bulls**t books he gave us after he rape stole, conquered our land is what has mofo’s sounding and looking stupid now in relationships and how we treat each other in general. Religion is an imbalance so basing anything on the EXTERNAL church is going to fail. Lets get back to real living when we the gods and goddess didn’t need a goddamn bible to tell us how to live. If you need a book to tell you killing ppl is wrong and you should honor your parents, how f**ked up and easily controlled are you. Every species in this hologram knows how to live except humans.

  • 8-24-2009 2:39 pm

    Ok i wanna say that…yes this article may seem 2 b 1 persons opinion but n a way it’s not. To tarheelchick11’s comment, u say that men need 2 relax bcuz the writing n this article is not script but it seem that it is. There r so many articles, magazines n books written bout men cheating or y a woman cant find a good man. It’s 2 the point where men r saying that all men r dogs, like it’s n our nature 2 cheat. Millions of weman today n billions of weman thru out history have always spoke down bout men, blaming us 4 their unfaithfulness so ofcourse we’re gonna get defensive. U should know (asuming ur black), black ppl always get a bad rep. We don’t get singled out, we get it as a whole. If I’m bad then ur bad n the eyes of many ppl n other nationalities. Don’t wanna say 2 much but plz, only I can tell u if my shoes r comfortable or not. U won’t know.
    N 2 vertigo, my advice 4 u is….dammit just look past the nice p***s LOL. U might find out a diff size may just b as pleasing, depending on the person.

  • 8-18-2009 4:01 pm

    Well too bad they didnt make an article for women who cant look pass a nice p***s. What are WE suppose to do?? LOL!!

  • 8-3-2009 2:05 am

    First off, if anyone is going to make a respectable and reputable argument/comment on this article, PLEASE stop grouping all women and/or all men in one category because everyone is an individual.

    (i.e bear_traks saying “Church women talk all the time about being “saved”, yet are the greatest gossipers on earth.” and Suave Bone said “Alotta times females are nothin but a BOOTY wit legs…no brains, no cla**, no dignity, no nobility, no modesty!!!

    Not every man or woman thinks or acts like that, so don’t degrade those “church women” who rebuke gossip and those women who are blessed not only physically, but with wisdom, class, and dignity. That is just the women you associate with Suave Bone.

    Second, this is one article, so men, please relax. A number of the men who commented went on the defensive, like this article was directly speaking to them. Chill, the article in itself just advice (as in someone’s opinion, not scripture) and guess what? Women could use some advice too, so don’t take it personal. My point is, if you’re a man, work on your own flaws(i.e. looking past the booty)if it applies to you and if you’re a woman, do your part and dress like you want to be treated, if it applies to you.

    Last, everyone please pray for God to send you whomever He has for you, and physical appearance won’t even matter because God knows all or our needs and desires, and guess what? He has it under control! God bless!

  • 7-27-2009 10:43 am

    I agree wholeheartedly!!! If GOD wants it to work, he will let you know!!! If you are willing to listen! However, we confuse, passion and
    lust and being relieved sexually, with being in love and connecting. I know, I did, and Im still recovering! You “may not always get what you
    pay for but you certainly pay for all you get!”(Frederick Douglas) Warning one came during our first summer, when my former wife and I were dating, she purchased a
    pair of expensive tennis shoes for her teen son who was old enough to work, but refused to, b/c he WANTED them. Then she got money from me
    to pay bills & buy food. I did not mind helping her, but she could have been more responsible; knowing she had bills to pay and mouths to
    feed. Her ‘inability to distinguish between wants and needs,’ included ‘no qualms about using others that care enough to help, to satisfy a
    WANT for something obtainable on your own w/patience, intelligence and work! Additionally, around the same time, we made plans to go to the Essence Jazz
    festival that year. I paid a $300 non-refundable deposit, she was supposed to make the first scheduled payment, I would finish paying it off. Needless to say, old habits
    are hard to break and I lost the deposit. I would have been able to make the first payment, however, I had given her money for food and
    bills, oh and without my knowledge, helped pay for the tennis shoes her son wanted! People will show you in their actions if they are
    mature, reliable and responsible! WATCH WHAT THEY DO BEFORE YOU MAKE A DECISION TO TAKE THINGS TO THE NEXT LEVEL! GOD will warn you what you need
    to watch out for: I had a dream of my father, who passed in 1991, wearing the same kind of tennis shoes she purchased for her son. My father
    NEVER wore tennis shoes! He gave me a set of numbers, comprised of all the dates in her birthday! Because I disregarded the warning signs I ended up losing the best job I ever had, due to her actions, yet still forgave & married her! After I had a heart attack, she decided she was “tired of taking care of people.”(her words not mine, did I mention she is a nurse!) Before we separated, she told me she was planning on leaving me without telling me, but she could not find a place. That was 4 years ago. After bankruptcy, paying back what we owed the IRS and State by myself, going back into debt helping her, after she moved out of town, trying to see if the marriage could be saved, I finally got divorce papers this year. Thank GOD, because I did not have the money for a divorce. I WISH I COULD MAKE THIS UP!!! Sad to say; despite what I have been through and lost, I dodged a bullet! It was only 7 years we were together, it could have been more, and we could have had children together!

    If you want men to look past your booty, stop putting it on display. Cover what should only been seen by your husband anyway. Stop dressing like a piece of meat. If you dress like a piece of meat, you’ll only attract an animal. So don’t get mad at the men get mad at yourself for being so disrepectful to yourself it’s your own fault. You know better.

    There is absolutely no way men will ever look beyond the booty.I respect a woman regardless of her booty.And I always do.It is the booty that makes a woman attractive physically. It is just the same, how we are being judge by how slim and trim we look.Ladies be real, Its not going to happend, so get use to it. Plus even though we are a spiritual being, we are not living up to the spiritual fullness. So basically We are all sinners.Only when we are manifesting spiritually that will happend.

    Ladies dont lower your standards and allow ANY man to disrespect you, simple fact is a man can do what we allow them to do, I carry myself in a classy way, I’m educated and beautiful, even the most disrespectful guy in my town respects me because I dont put myself out there like that, but when you got your booty talking for you thats all they see and thats what their going to treat you like.

  • bear_traks

    Nice article my sister, yet biblical clarification is needed here. GOD did NOT make us “hard wired sexual beings”. That came from the constant bombarment of sexual images of our men abusing our sisters and watching women dress as video w***es on televison and allowing inappropriate songs to be played on radios and televison in our homes and schools. When Adam and Eve ate the apple in Genesis, they became AWARE of their nakedness in which GOD became angry that they were aware of their nakedness. You say “Don’t involve ourselves with a woman of poor character”, in reality, a person’s TRUE character never truly reveals itself unless you are living and sleeping with each other under the same roof. A woman could be “bling-bling educated etc, and wants a man who is at her “bling level” or higher because “like attracts like.” Church women talk all the time about being “saved”, yet are the greatest gossipers on earth. As a MAN OF SUBSTANCE, it’s been my experience and observation that BLACK WOMEN REALLY DON’T WANT A BLACK MAN THAT WILL DO THEM ANY GOOD. When we “good men” get involved in your lives in a short period of time, you find ways of self-destrctuing yourselves and the relationship starting drama where there doesn’t need to be any. A “plantation mindset” so to speak. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says “Therefore if any man (woman or child) be in Christ, he is a NEW creature:old things are passed away; behold all things become new.” Meaning the Holy Spirit is inside a person and can look at anything and re-experience anything and not feel the same lustful images of the world. That’s real and the truth. If a person hasn’t reached that level, then they aren’t really saved. In closing you quote your wonderful articles using “revised” scriptual verses from a different book when the original King James Bible is only bible you need to be quoting “so there is no confusion”. Anything revised is altered which changes the perception of what is being read.

    The Title is lesson of wisdom in itself. Again,,,Although, this is out for young men or men in General..I have a Son and 2 daughters,and their friends who are also now young adults and now with child(ren)..I asked them during their middle school ages when they started asking questions about dating or having friends..I used to say No, Your not ready yet, unless there is group of friends who parent(s) I knew..I used to take them to their games and movies..Until they got a lil older,,I used to tell them, becareful of who you choose as your friend, they knew I was kinda hard and close on that part until later.It Happen, when other sibblings within their school activities,classes, have various conversations and terms…And I couldnt believe what they ask me? I asked baby who said this or that? They said “them girls or them boys either in our class,at lunch, or at the game..Then I knew, I had to speak to my son and daughters, but At a time, ALL you can do is Pray for our Sons and Daughters as you keep the communication levels open..To Not to Judge,want,or desire this or that perosn by what they do, or how they look or how much they have or who they be with..Indeed, The wolves are out there and they are masks out to keep individuals blinded..Be wise, Its within, the outside only portrays an image, and the physical body is only determine or developed by that individual as they contiue to live in however they choose to live and its only a small portion of how that person may look or desire to look,, ask yourself, “Why is all her/his beauty is all out for display..Some brothers learn,,That prison/hip wearing no belts and pants wayy below the waist..Its not good,esp.if you are at the wrong place at the wrong time- in darkness with the walls or in area you dont know of..What the images one sees, allows both sides male and females(young/older) in harms way of danger. He/She looks like she is 21 and how she is dress (she must want me)? Then later finds out..He or She’s been with aids since the age of 9 working on the streets trying to take care of themselves..(for whatever reasons,maybe they took or killed his/parent(s)or their been a throw away child to the system or streets..BUt yet you never took out the time to know who that person actually are..Even if you see a Butt, Chest of a female or male..Pray for Discipline and learn how to ask for Humbleness within Respect for not only yourself,but the person you may see or gain intrest in…Many are entitiled to wear what they want, but its up to another, to decide with righteous wisdom in how to speak,choose,and decide after you ask Our Father about your desire or concern, Your Parent(s) is not always around you 247.But Our Father, Never well Leave you as you choose to stay close to him for protection as your given righteous wisdom by an elder(I would say your parent(s)..But some may not have one, or have to mainly raise themselves..As an adult You have a Position.

    and whats wrong with some thickness? i know i fall in love with shapely women because the curves r outta this world. unfortunately, many of them already have a man. that sucks a lot. tryin to find single women that r hot is very hot, let alone “god-fearin” or of good character. thats a hopeless case. its like tryin to find a red lobster knock off at a denny’s price. it almost never happens. and i only like black women. other races just aint attractive to me. its hard to know a girl’s character when she doesn’t wanna get to know you because for some reason(that she wont give) she doesn’t like you. there seems to be a lot of girls that just wanna sleep around. they dont wanna settle down and be a girlfriend or a wife. at least not the ones who i see.

    The King James Version, please. Anything other changes the original perceptions of GOD’s words. Next, in second Corinthians 5:17 says “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, behold all things come anew.” It means we are “spiritually seperated” from “the world’s distractions” and from lusting after body parts. If you can’t feel the spirit within you ignoring the lust then you need to rededicate yourself to the LORD. Ephesians 6:10-12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, and the principalities of powers, powers, against rulers of darkness of this world and against spiritual wicknedness in hidden and high places.”
    Now THAT IS “keeping it real”. GOD didn’t give us hardwired sexual thoughts. We got them from watching televison, movies, books and other people’s sexual actions and conversations. You need to take a gone long look at those two versus and step back and observe these words in your daily interactions. If you can do those little things I just mentioned, then you’re REALLY keeping it real”.

    I read your article, and yes I really do feel you, but shouldnt you be telling your sisters to stop putting their best butt/breast forward. Dont worry, we’ll see it no matter what you do. I know in this male driven sexually charged society, it can be hard not to. However, if you keep throwing it in our face, how can we get past it, after all, we’re only men.
    If YOU show some character, (mixed in of course) we’ll see it. Most men want a women of substance, and visa vera, but lets be real…there’s nothing wrong with a nice butt!!!

God know’s the deep desires of our hearts, and His promises are true. You do your part and I have faith to believe He will do His! I know it’s difficult to NOT look at my sisters showing all they momma gave them….but, we still are responsible for what fruit we bear…Bible is clear, that to please God is to bear Fruit of the Spirit..one being – Self Control. gotta be a big boy!

    Let’s keep it real here. Trying to get a man to look past a woman’s bodyparts is like trying to get a wolf to walk past a sheep. Not gonna happen –cuz it’s Natural –the way God made us. It’s ok to look but the problem is, women and society have taken it to another level! Partly because of the food we eat, all the steroids and chemicals that are injected in fast food, fried chicken, burgers, soda etc, all the junk that you find in the hood, have caused Black women’s bodies to grow OUT of CONTROL! Obscenely huge BUTTS , BOOBS, and HIPS. You can go to any high school in the hood and see girls that have bodies of 25 yr olds and you wonder why teen pregnancy is rampant. Even in Church- cleevage is busting out all over the pews! To make matters worse, we don’t condone it, instead we celebrate and promote body parts! We are the only culture that sings about BUTTS- rappers; especially yall backward DOWN SOUTH rappers are destroying the image of black women. It’s no wonder that Atlanta is the STRIP CLUB CAPITOL of the world. Because of down south rap music, today STRIPPING is an acceptable job for young black women! They even have stripping “pole” dances at my gym where women are taught how to flaunt their body parts! And its only gonna get worse folks cuz the internet has given girls a whole new way to show off their body parts—“shawty got gifts”. With a cheap digital camera and basic photoshop skills every girl can be on the cover of their own magazine: myspace, facebook, even here on BP. Women are showing it all. They are proud of their bodyparts and use them as weapons Even using suggestive names like THICK, BIG, BUTT—go ahead on memberfind and search and of those words and see how many members pop up young an old all female! By nature girls crave attention and on the web you can get it by the bucket! The Internet is here to stay and the freakiness will only increase, girls are hypnotized by all the attention and HITS they get on these sites and men have no problem commenting on their freaky pics. So ask yourself how all these trends will affect the next generation. I’m glad I don’t have a daughter cause its only gonna get worse! And I cant wait till I get older, girls are gonna make it easier and more fun to be a dirty old man!

    What a crock!!!! Instead of writing an article telling Black men to look past the BOOTY how about an article telling SISTAS to stop dressing like stanks and putting their booties on display. Why is it so hard to be critical of Black women these days? Blacl women have nearly 80% of their kids out of wedlock,multiple kids with multiple men,the highest abortion rate in America & the western hemisphere and are by far the most sexually active females in America yet very little is said about those staggering numbers. So instead of lecturing Brothas why not tell Sistas to raise their morals & standards because most White folks laugh at Sistas while they’re walking in the mall and in other places believe I notice. Just a thought.

    I wholeheartedly agree with this article. However, i do believe men and women alike make it difficult for each other because of preconceived notions. For instance, this notion that men are intimidated by the beautiful, sexy, attractive Christian woman. I believe that any woman who thinks that already has a road block in place which, when perceived by the man, may actually be a turn off to him. It would be for me because I don’t like having to overcome the bad apples any woman is judging me against. Personally, I’m not intimidated by anyone. So my behavior or approach with a woman will be sincere. Question is, is she being sincere?

    Every attraction is a unique one…a combination factors. Some people choose to put the way a person looks high on their list, and…that’s their prerogative. Personally, high on my list are some superficial things, but I don’t loose focus of whats truly important for two people to thrive.

    I agree with this post, nonetheless there are plenty of BEAUTIFUL, FINE, HOTT, women in the Christian faith. All of us aren’t missing teeth and on the negative side of swagg. It’s just when most men see us they don’t know how to react, because out lips speak wisdom and our hearts are right with God and we ARE physically attractive. That in and of it’s self is a factor of intimidation. So word to the brothers, the good apples (women) are at the top of the tree, not at the bottom. The key is keep you heart right with God and he will help you find the woman of your dreams. God bless. :)

    Boy see girl, girl see boy, the first thing on both minds is ‘that is a good lloking body, wonder what it looks like naked’ The ultimate goal is I want to have sex with her or him. If the body is out of wack, the opposite sex will not give a flip. It is obvious you and your husband are doing (it) everynight and he is loving it or he won’t be with you 14 years later. The dress code when the bible was written was ‘Robes’ from the neck down to the ankles were covered. There were no pants or skirts or blouses, tank tops or whathave you. Beautiful women don’t come from hell according to u, only ugly ones do.

    First of all the premise that men only look at the physical is erroneous. It is mistaken for the fact that the visual is the first think that stimulates a man to react. We see fire, we leap into action to preserve and protect, we see someone we love being abused we do the same thing, we see someone hurt we want to fix it. When we see tears we are moved to uneasyness and we want to help make the tears stop. For men visual stimuli is the trigger to activate our best qualities, but given that some men are spoiled with being given everything they see many men will go after what appeals to them. What a man sees quickens him to act. A good woman will recognize this and manage what she needs to that we can meet in the middle. All a woman has to do is redirect him with that definitive statement or interrogatory that moves his soul and his thinking. It’s not rocket science so ladies stop making men the problem by perpetuiting a false sense of victimization and exploitation because you still havent learned how men function. Observe what you love about us and ask us about those things. The fact the men are visual is a good thing. Let it be that.

    Why have your ass out and complain about it when a man looks? Why wear attire that is not right for the office, park where ever? Women need to think more about what they put on. And women, please stop dressing like a hoe and when a man treats you like a hoe you get upset. I was always taught, what you look like is what u get treated like!!! I’m not saying i would treat a women like that , never but women just think about it. Alot needs to be changed. How about now on women just don’t wear a outfit that show’s the whole lining of your ass, and even shows the curves of your p***y!!! What happen to the classy sister that would not let a man touch her? Stop wearing jeans that you need another person to help you pull it off! You women leave nothing to thought anymore. It’s not even fun to date a women anymore . All i’m saying is bring back classy and throw out what some white design person say’s what’s in. don’t get me wrong i love a black women’s body but damn, do i have to see what your ass looks like bascily before i pull your jeans off!!!

    i agree with ms. michell. alot of men that i know personally have ended up very unhappy because they were attracted to a big butt! i know men who left a pretty woman who’s good to him for a woman with a big butt! i’m one of them. i’m a sexy creature with and average butt. my man left me for a GIRL with a globe butt….he regreted it in 2 weeks. i wouldn’t take him back cause there are big butts everywhere. he’s a shallow man.

Encouragement On The Way

From William Ketts

Friday, November 6, 2009

"If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you" (John 15:19, NKJV). True disciples of Jesus are accorded the same treatment as He was - we should expect nothing less. "Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you." - 1 John 3:13 (NKJV)
