Just Call Me Salacious

Hitting the dating scene takes courage. Let's all face it: we dread the idea of being mistreated, not feelin the chemistry, or worse, feelin the chemistry and it being unrequited.

But what about those little details? They get us all: this one is a little "breezy" while the other "talks only about themselves" while another is just a little too "abrasive" all these can be deemed "turn offs". But there is another element to dating I haven't heard much talk about: The Salacious Woman.

We've discussed time and again about how gender roles in the 21st century are all twisted. We've also discussed the overbearing "grey area" and even discussed a bit or two about the way our bodies are perceived, someone's availability (i.e., married people acting single), and how much a brother should have in his pocket in order to impress a woman.

But what about the Salacious Woman? Have you ever met a woman and thought to yourself: "Damn she's sexy!"? Maybe it was her cow eyes, magnificent stride, or the draw and tone of her voice. Perhaps she even has the audacity to have all these components. Your salivating over her, she's giving you the jitters with every bat of an eyelash and boy, your jumping in all the right places!

But what about the Salacious Woman?

While she is the epitome of fantasy, and most times sought after, does she receive marriage proposals too? We all know, that some men subscribe to the old addage "A lady in the streets...a freak in the sheets..." But what if your woman oozes confidence, sensuality, sexuality, and fire? What if when you see her you know that no matter what she says you really ain't listening, and no matter how far you drove to meet her, you're already thinking about when you're coming back to look, smell, and hopefully touch her. Is she marriage material.

Sex sells, but they forget to mention being salacious is genetic. While many women hit the gym, read all through magazines, there is simply "something" about some women that ignite pure sexuality in the opposite sex. Hell! She ignites sexuality in the same sex! I call it: The Halle Berry Effect. Men love to worship her for her beauty and yet she was in three very public, failed relationships. Her men, beat, cheated, and disposed of her without warning. Yes, she was Halle Berry, and yet, that didn't seem to matter.

No offense, but I've seen enough women who are NOT salacious with attractive, successful men which begs the question in me: do men like to sleep with some women, regardless of their quality as a woman just because their salacious? Are they willing to marry those same women? Or are all the wives supposed to homely? (It's just semantics...don't get offended...but if the shoe fits....)
