Pastor Paul's case study for leveling the female innate power differential desire:

A friend invited me to the Rock cathedral for Paul's wife's (Ify) 40th birthday clebration
I sat in, enjoying the rich taste of architecture and AC cooling my thought processor
Pastor Paul reeled out praises on his wife and told the story of how he courted his conspicous looking wife
(Hope I got the story correctly)

Paul is from a prominent home
His dad was a Chief judge or something like that
Paul had his challenges and was kicked back to Nigeria from the UK.

A girl he was toasting dumped him
With Pauls eye's for good stuff, I wont be surprised if the chick was also the beautiful daughter of a big shot
Re: The Dwindling Pool Of Male Lovers In Nigeria -Love Ain't Blind by esere826: 2:45pm On Apr 22, 2013
.......Pastor paul continued

In his dejected state, and out of work etc, he ran into Ify who was still in university
and began a courtship with her that led to marriage.

He talks about how many times, there would be no food at home, and they would use kerosene stove to cook etc
He was very appreciative of his beautiful wife for sticking by him and asked his congregation to believe in dreams

His congregation bursted out in Hallelujah's
I could see the nod of 'shei I tell u' from the guys
while u cld see the gals trying hard to swallow this great call to faith


Me, I sat back relaxed and unemotional, and started dissecting and making sense of the story I just heard


.... I'll use my model in the case study analysis next

eagle,eye:

Like someone already said, there are exceptions to the rule. "Love" is not the norm in Nigerian relationships, it's an exception.

"I love you" from a girl could mean different things.
@ishilove

love is too wishy washy to be considered in this type of analysis.Like the guy said, in Nigeria, love means a lot of things. It is a very unreliable metric in the analysis of social contracts in our society.

Afterall,the people in broken marriages once professed undying love for each other before the reality of unrealized expectations hit them.

Analysing Paul's relationship


I suspect that Paul's first toastee was his equal in terms of class, age bracket and positioning
I also suspect that she was at that point in his life better financially positioned than him

The tendency would then be for her to look UP for love, and manage SIDEWAYS relationships
Paul must have at that time fluctuated between SIDEWAYS and DOWN on her power scale
thereby making him unattractive to her
especially if she was ready for marriage; and/or had other 'potential' suitors; and/or had family pressures etc
On Pauls own power scale, the first toastee must have fluctuated in his SIDEWAYS and UP range
(the man too like better thing)

In Came Ify


Ify is 10 years younger than Paul -she was looking UP, UP to him in the Age range category of her power scale
Although he was out of work, she was a University Student still under the care of her comfortable parents
She was not under pressure to marry while stiil in uni -Putting Paul SIDEWAYS in finance
Pauls' big familly name must have also tickled her, pushing him UP in her power scale

Paul get sweet mouth and is extremely intelligent (afterall na him build the Rock Cathedral) -Pushing him UP in her intellectual power scale
Paul is widely travelled -UP in her adventurism power scale


For Paul, Ify's beauty would have put her in his UP power scale
Her pedigree (dad is a prof, mum German) would put her in his SIDEWAY power scale
Paul's mum and Ify's mum are both none nigerians -Gives them something to talk about and share)
Many other conditions would have been in the SIDEWAY to DOWN power scale from Paul's perspective
plus offcourse she could manage him. Afterall she was not in a hurry to go anywhere at that point in her life

With such perfect conditions
GBAM ....LOVE was in the air

My own summary is simply that 90% of available women are chasing after 10% of the eligible men, men whom they think or see as being high up in the social strata.

Assumption: For long term mating, you want to start nailing a particular 'class' of girls outside ur present laegue

Steps include, but not limited to:
Like everything else in life, it first requires planning and an acceptance of some false start
Examine the kind of men they seem to like
What is the gap between the guys and u?
What can be changed, that you want to be changed to breach that gap
for example type of education, type of company those guys hangout with etc

Identify your target
place her on the the scale i have prepared
What do u have that is greater than what she has, and she aspires for
accentuate such value
*isolate her if need be. This reduces natural tendency to compare you with others
Get into her mind and then redefine and shape her values to fit into urs

She's all yours when you are through with this


*isolation should not be taken literarily in this text

Interesting premises sha.

The kind of chicks I dated in uni were what I considered to be easier marks for. Not much drama, averagely okay, and met my criteria for form above substance. A few 'hidden gems', i.e. chicks that were not bad looking, but didn't roll with the 'it' crowd. Those ones did not give me much hassle, as I had an above average rep, not doing badly in school, and I didn't have to be a club boy or anything to roll with.

When I started life after school, the entire picture changed. I decided to 'step up' to the chicks that prolly would not have fit into my dating criteria in school, or would have not gone out with me out of social pressure. That presented a different type of challenge, but a richer and more rewarding dating pool.

In fact, I even spent time and resources chasing a niece of one of the richest SW tycoons in Nigeria. Of course it didn't fly, but I ended up getting closely connected to that family nonetheless. And what eventually clicked into marriage for me was Grade A stuff grin

(Post # 8 )

Case Study Conclusions and Lessons Learned

1) When a girl is in her younger years in Uni, it might make sense to date corper level guys

-At this stage, she is still receiving support from dad and mum. Corper can share some of his allowee. By the time she is getting out of school, there is a greater probability that the guy is financially and mentally ready for marriage.

-Ladies, you will still be insulted by guys in uni for dating upwards. But no worry na so life be

2) Girls and guys, ensure you bring something to the power matrix table that will make you attractive thereby leading to that love spark. You cannot eat from what you have not sown

-How can a wowo, dull girl from a poor home realistically think that she can marry a handsome intelligent guy from a rich home and vice versa.

-Such things are only possible with God. And like someone once said, miracles are an exception, not the rule.

So approach your mating desires with pragmatism and a lot of calculation; and stop falling love sick

Ajanlekoko made a fine point that reads just like me


I understand the dynamics of dating, but prefer stretching Upwards and Sideways
This would invariably mean that some chicks like their male counterparts would label me a gold digger
I dont player hate chicks when they diss me

I instead learn my lessons, improve my power value, dust my khaki and get ready for the next moutain climbing grin

Hehehehe.
A dude (player or seeker) must always take time to study chicks, in order to place them in which category they belong. Which will inform your strategy for 'closing'.
Unfortunately, most people can't just see beyond makeup, wig, and skinny jeans, bum bum, face, and frontal grin
Ironically, womenswear parade by far the greater percentage of fake merchandise cheesy What with the legendary koste, and Buttini (Obesere's words, not mine cheesy)

I'll give an example. Saw one Britico chic on the tube in London last week.
Pretty gal, Hermes bag, Follie Follie watch, Loubotin shoes. Obviously class, one way or another.
The irony was, if I had not dated 'upwards' at some point, there was no way I could recognize any of those accessories as original or fake, or even identify which social class the chick belonged. I'd have just gone with face, tits, and ass like any other fella tongue

I dont think I insinuated that
What I have continuosly pointed out is a 'power scale' that trigers 'reciprocal love'
Finance is only one member of this power scale

I once did a soul search (reflection) on love
by asking myself what are the characteristics of girls that I had so far "fallen crazy in love' with
I was amazed to find out that there was a pattern to this 'madness'

The next challenge was getting my 'type of girls' to 'love' me back

Your suggestion actually waltz me towards the subject I initially intended to pursue. i.e the dwindling pool of male lovers:

My observation/hypothesis shows that the 24 to 29 age demography of women (lets call this Dxx)
have a short supply of 'right' men in that same 24 to 29 age demography (Lets call this Dxy)

In Nigeria, The 'right' men can be found more in the 32 to 42 years demography (Dyy)
Unfortunately, Dyy men that are single are few

Consequences:
1) As the Dxx ladies gradually approach the nothern age boundaries of their demography they unconciously or conciously start 'lowering' their standards for mates
2) With Dyy type males in 'short' supply, and a strong need to satisfy the aspirational instincts to mate with Dyy type men, Dxx ladies tend to throw themselves at the few single Dyy men. In the absense of this, they 'tend' to cheat with Dyy men that are married

The idea behind my writeup, is that love is largely quantifiable and can therefore be valued
Within the brutish nature of the Nigerian society, it is only natural that love shares the same denomination as money
